Well put. CE is engaging in a serious spiritual bypass here. The issues are really simple. It's not necessarily projection and othering to call out wrongdoing. Sometimes people just do harmful things, and don't tell the truth, and other people call them out for it. That's called 'justice'. What CE is doing is normalising the actions of someone who has a lengthy track record of harm and lying, all proven, often in courts of law. Yes there is an information war as well, but to hide behind that in order to protect his little bit of power and influence, and give these lofty spiritual reasons for why it's all OK really is really severe cognitive dissonance. I'm disappointed, especially as the essay does make some solid points alongside all that, but not surprised, after the frankly ridiculous 'Sith' essay, which was the setup for this one.
