The difference is that the Canadian truckers were doing bad things and A/I were doing good things, obviously, just in case anyone is confused here.

> Canadian truckers were doing bad things and A/I were doing good things That is such a platitude that I'm not sure if you're serious or you're just attempting Reddit humor. But if you're serious, at least try to justify what A/I is doing by saying things like terrorism is in the eye of the beholder like Piker does.

  > by saying things like terrorism is in the eye of the beholder This is so trivially true that it's not worth bringing up in discussoon with anyone who can be taken seriously. It's true for any politically charged word, and terrorism is one of the most political words in the English language.

  I haven't seen A/I commit any terrorism. Which train station did they blow up?

First if all, doing bad things should not be a reason for debanking. Secondly, the truckers opposed forced vaccination despite the fact that they were solitary in their cabins while keeping the economy afloat so that bureaucrats like Trudeau could eat. Thirdly, I find it worrisome that the GP is downvoted and an indication that autistici.org is a radical org that does not tolerate the slightest dissent. So I guess I have to live with the fact that we either have left wing or right wing nonsense and that autistici.org would also ban anyone if they had power. Thanks for the reality check.

But that's the challenge: a true belief in the principles of law must include defending "bad guys" when they are targeted with illegal or immoral means. Miranda was a bad guy; going all the way back, Cain was a bad guy. Presumption of innocence and right to a fair trial should apply to everyone, including people we don't like.

  If the purpose of law isn't to hurt bad guys without hurting good guys, then what is it?

    The purpose of the law is to apply shared societal values to individuals as impartially as possible. Bad people should be "hurt" only as much as it's necessary for society to peacefully uphold those values. Imagining the law as punishment (or worse, vengeance) is what people did thousands of years ago, and it never ended well. An eye for an eye etc etc.
