Found on an Expanse reddit thread about whether Sadavir Errinwright was really such a bad guy:

You might disagree with some of his decisions, but I personally think he was more of a nationalist than an evil guy as some fans seem to present him as.

Just for context, if you haven't read the books, the character in question who is more of a "nationalist" than an "evil guy" did the following:

• Consented to and abetted the mass murder of thousands of civilians
• Ordered multiple political assassinations
• Personally murdered someone
• Conducted/funded a covert, extra-legal bio-weapons program using unwilling/unwitting human subjects
• Engineered a false-flag operation (which also murdered several hundred civilians) to start a war as a cover/distraction for his illegal bio-weapons program
• Ordered the use of the resultant bio-weapons on a population of millions

So yeah, just a misunderstood patriot. What's the big deal? 🙄
