"But everybody else did it" isn't an argument. Neither is "but it's the law." These are not moral or rational arguments. In 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act was "the law." The Underground Railroad was a "criminal conspiracy." The slave patrols were "law enforcement." If you can see how that law was immoral, and how law enforcement was a crime, we can actually make progress. If you cannot, the conversation dies here.

Elections are a formalized bandwagon fallacy built on top of a false choice fallacy, and there is no real agent/principal relationship between even the winner and those who voted for them, to say nothing of those who actively voted against them, chose not to participate out of principle, or were too apathetic to participate. It doesn't make sense once you shake off the mythology of democracy we were raised to believe. I know this is an unpopular position, but that doesn't disprove it.

There was no violent mob attacking law enforcement when the feds murdered Renne Good or Alex Pretti. In both cases, the government thugs initiated the violence, escalated the violence, and then killed someone. That is unacceptable. Hold the enforcers to a higher standard than the untrained public. Stop blaming the victims of overreach and abuse.
