I agree mostly with that interpretation but its still clear he never once questioned who was the authority or why / what the rebels were in opposition of. He felt righteous and was on the wrong side from where he was clearly raised. Still to not question the intent and integrity of who he chose loyalty is on him. The same parallel with gen pop of Germany during the 3rd reich or the current maga community. They are wrong and working to hurt people and consolidate power for themselves. Period. People blindly following the lead because their parents do, or their friends are still complicit in the eyes of history. If a person chooses to not question who it is they support or the reasons why or the repercussions thereof, they are complicit. Its evil, not neutral. To not question the propaganda even when theres clear evidence of it is complicity through complacency.
