    Ah, but there's a certain cachet that comes from partnering with major figures who've been caught with their hands as explicitly in the cookie jar as were Kurz's. And on camera, no less.

      Is there? Because the cachet usually comes from the opposite, to do it with figures who managed not to be caught.

        Right -- and that is precisely his intended message: To be openly court corruption of this sort, as a way of rejecting the accepted norms of Western democracy. In its current effete, collectivist form. "Burn it down, burn it down!", in other words. Until the world is ready to accept his profoundly more enlightened norms -- of evolved, "capitalist" democracy.
