Pretty sure treason is not exclusive to any one of these categories…

It's anti-authoritarian, so anywhere on the far bottom edge.

Unless you're just trying to replace the current authority with your own, in which case it could be on the top edge as well

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.

Ah that makes sense. I didn’t read the chart that way

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