re: #121 recusancy

Holy shit! You’re talking about morality now??

There are limits I recognize. If not only for moral reasons than for practical ones as well:

To escalate to physical obstruction and intimidation leads to violence and from there to civil unrest. A wise leader has a vested interest in avoiding civil unrest and will not try to retain power at the cost of provoking same. Rather he will (in the American case) work to maintain the system that allows him to walk away with his possessions and freedom intact, and try to regain power for his party later.
