In their own moral framework, it’s okay to kill literally anyone, as long as you’re in charge and are willing to say a few words about “national security.” Good to know, I guess. Presumably they mostly live in places where that’s (for now 🥲) not the rule, and would be horrified if someone forced them to go back to places where that is the rule.
Honestly, I think mostly what this means is that they’ve done a good enough job of chasing away all the reasonable people that they’ve entered into an increasing spiral at this point. Everyone has to be most unreasonable in order to stand out, and with no one sensible to compare themselves to, they have to get more and more outlandish in order to be the outlandish-est one.
