      Has the english word a specific meaning? Cuz if it’s just betraying oathes/alliances, then yeah everyone across the board did that.

        I can think of some very pro-authoritarian US politicians in recent memory who committed acts that could be considered treasonous without too much stretching of the definition

          The actors involved could be very authoritarian, but the crime of betraying the existing authority, is still anti-authoritarian.
