Again, what is your point? That having laws makes you not free? That’s something we all know, it’s not something you have discovered all by yourself.

It’s a basic societal understanding that if we live in a society there will be laws to stop bad shit from happening.

But you seem to think stopping predators is limiting your freedom. It’s such a stupid argument. But you don’t get that.

Edit: https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/kwOrM6/norske-andrea-20-advart-mot-aa-demonstrere-i-usa-skikkelig-skummelt That's a link to an article about a Norwegian student who's being warned against protesting in the US for fear of being imprisoned. You know, limiting their freedom of speech.

You are such a bad faith actor it's insane.

You are such a bad faith actor it’s insane.

We are discussing authoritarian laws that limits people freedom and the argument you are using is that "the law is the law". You are being a bad faith actor yourself as big as the burj khalifa. If we were in nazi germany you would be backing the racist laws because they are laws.

It’s a basic societal understanding that if we live in a society there will be laws to stop bad shit from happening.

There's more bad shit happening due to weed being illegal, like entire criminal organizations smuggling it which resulted in the government of france trying to ban encryption to fight them.
