of course someone has to decide what is loyalty and what is betrayal.
those who protest against regimes are always called traitor, even if they are loyal to their country. those who support retimes are often traitors to the people.
and that was before the regimes decided to change their discourse, and how call those in the opposition terrorists. we need new slogans since we've entered the age of so-called terrorism, something to protect us against authoritarianism that threatens to swamp all of us.
