From a fundamental standpoint, Boris acts not like a suspect, but the judge, jury and executioner.
He is not above the law.
He is not above the law.
In all cases, he sees himself as an exception. It is not for him to be ruled or held back, he has known nothing but his own truth of entitlement. Rules are for his subjects, and the world belongs to him. He sees it only as his servant, and his errors are our failure, not his.
This is not the man you want to lead. But this is the man who feels he should. The type of man. The man who feels he is God. The man who has been giving free reign without responsibility or recompense. He sees himself akin to a prophet. His grand story. His epitaph is heroic.
And yet, it is we who suffer the reality he denies. Our pain. Our loss. All of it. Our country, our votes, our ignorance, built from feeling we deserve it, enabling it.
And the dance will continue. An arbitration between class and ego, exceptionalism and law, justice and judiciary, as it always does. It is the selfishness of men that relies on compliance of sycophancy and powerlessness, an abusive relationship on a national level.
That is what we see now. The tautology of exceptionalism. The lies, excuses, ignorance, all a vice of virtue, a method of deflecting from personal reflection, a defence against being one of us, a self-deception that hurts us all.
