Senator Armstrong

Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around.

— Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance · 2013

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Armstrong imagines laws adapting to the individual rather than requiring the individual to obey them. Within his longer speech, that language accompanies a vision ruled by strength. This is a faithful sentence excerpt from the fictional senator’s monologue, not the discovery heading or an endorsement of his politics.
