Some of the more interesting quotes from the post, especially so in the recent spate of events happening:

"what had changed was a recognition at the top that society had outpaced the state's ability to regulate its politics"
"An authoritarian regime often resorts to a national narrative that begins with an existential threat to the State and ends with a taboo on certain discourses"
