There was this guest on citations-needed a few years ago who said in an aside "at a certain point the word 'stability' should make your skin crawl" and it's been rattling around in my brain ever since

Nima: Well so it kind of reminds me of on the eve of the Iranian revolution Jimmy Carter called Iran under the Shah like an ‘island of stability’ and its just because we like them and we prop them up and then as soon as that changed now they’re evil and terrifying.

George [Ciccariello-Maher]: Oh, of course. And like there’s a certain point where the word ‘stability’ should make your skin crawl.
