Great documentary! The story that chocked me most was the social democrat local politician that helped criminals launder money and evade taxes in his spare time… How low can you sink?
Everyone that tells him/herself a story, can use that story to justify crime.
Defender of the underdogs.
Saviour of the home-country from the foreign hordes.
In every story, there is idealisation and demonisation, a giving up of complexity and the moral horror justifications of fairy tales.
Perhaps. But it takes a lot of story telling to be able to spend your days voting for higher taxes on law-abiding citizens, and your nights helping the worst in society evade those taxes…
