“Power absent ethics rests on the unshakable … desire to punish active resistance …. But such power has no idea what to do against … someone who … simply says: I will not be a part of this. Against the one who walks away …. when voters decide that they cannot in good conscience participate in the reelection of anyone who allows starvation to happen, they are branded … enablers of a fascist takeover …. Because the individual cannot be allowed to walk away.”
— Omar El Akkad (2025)
