Quote by Karin Hilterman

“Waarom hield zij eigenlijk niet zo van haar moederland? Nederland was toch meer haar vaderland, al durfde ze dat thuis nooit hardop te zeggen. Ze sprak beter Nederlands dan Turks, maakte zoiets uit voor het land dat je je vaderland noemde? Was de taal die je het beste sprak de taal van je vaderland, ook al lag het land van je ouders in een ander werelddeel?”

For authoritarians, only some people are "the people," regardless of their birthplace or citizenship status, and only the leader, above and beyond any institution, embodies that group. This is why, in strongman states, attacking the leader is seen as attacking the state itself, and why critics are labeled enemies of the people or terrorists.”
