People who love and defend a government are creating parental figures out of the state instead of growing up and taking their stand as mature individuals.

    Yeah I think that was the one, it’s not love but I’d call it apologia.

    To me it’s so much weirder to spend energy defending a distant authoritarian government that you have no connection to whatsoever than your own. Both are stupid, but people are indoctrinated to be sycophants for their own authoritarian government so I kinda get it even though I wish it was otherwise.
