I see stepped up leaking, deep state in Turkey was a paramilitary shadowy network killing people. Being underpaid isn't slavery.

It is should always be up for discussion if leaks are in the public interest and expose wrongdoing.

But labeling leaks coming from the state (yep, they are the state) employees "deep state" seems wrong. You are fairly pro-leak.

Now you're not? What's the criteria? I repeat mine: expose wrongdoing of sufficient gravity that public has right to know. /end

Democratic establishment is incompetent and overly focuses on the wrong things: Big club, but not the best analytic approach.

Not all leaks or acts defying instructions institutional hierarchies are good. But some are. Context and ethics dependent. /n

so here's the key question, in liberal democracies, what do electoral majorities or pluralities get to do and not get to do?

In no functioning democracy, an electoral does or should allow unfettered power. Seems obvious. Question is how?
