Application of authority, believe it or not, is sometimes completely justified

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

and who determines the "sometimes" when it is "justified"? does that happen only when it is done against the guy you don't like?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

No, it happens when the guy I don't like does crimes.

it happens when the guy I don't like does crimes.

you do realise that's the exact idea used by every fascist from Mao to Mussolini to Modi, right?

who determines that actions taken are crimes? should there not be due process that measures them against the law before such a distinction--such a judgement, one may say--is made?

or should anyone be able to point a finger willy-nilly at anyone else claiming them to be a criminal and to start doling out the lynchrope?

I agree with you 100 percent, but they allllllll do crimes, dude(ette).
