minus-square@SCBlink3•1 year agoYes. You cannot legislate morality, or you simply force anyone who doesn’t share your morality to be a criminal. There’s a reason our legal system is based around standing and provable harm. Imagine if we made “being conservative” illegal. People would riot, and quite justifiably.
