@lispi314 @sun @realcaseyrollins depends.

libertarians often get yelled at for insisting that civil rights still apply to people society doesn't like. even though the whole purpose of precepts like rule of law and enlightenment ideals are exactly that the rules have to be posted for people to understand and the rules apply to everyone. in this circumstance you may be enraged at a favorable outcome simply because the ethics to arrive at the outcome were violated.

then there is the more common duplicitous normie arrangement, where "anything that helps me win is good" and everything the person says is just seeking approval for what their beliefs already are. it doesn't matter if people are taking pot shots at would-be world leaders because that person doesn't care about representative democracy in the first place, it's just a set of words that sound cool but ultimately mean "getting what i want by all means i don't have to answer for."
