a political murder.
- glogla 8y agoOf course, political murdes aren't exactly uncommon in dystopian dictatorships.
- Nasrudith 8y agoSadly history suggests the turn into part isn't new at all. Just look at pretextual abuses like troublesome political figures receiving it like union leaders and anarchists with only tennous links to crimes philosophically let alone evidentiary. And before that there was King Henry the 8th and he certainly wasn't remotely the first.
