Reactionaries only value the rule of law when it gives them cover to revert to the status quo ante.

They only care about one thing: power to tell you what to do. There’s no principle to violate, because they don’t think that way; to them, empathy and compassion are weaknesses to exploit. Principles are useful for propaganda, not a code to live by.

They’re willing to do anything to get it, too— selling out their country to a Nazi slug was just a bonus.
