at what point, exactly,
does one’s fealty to a system
becomes one’s treachery
to everything good
still left
here
in this world?

Short and sharp, your question, Tristan. Answer: I have no fealty to any system.
But that's just me - others might want to scratch their heads and think about it...... ☺️
Right where obedience stops asking questions and starts burying its own conscience.
That line you’re tracing is the sound of a soul deciding who it really serves.
