You could of course ascribe bad motives to your ideological foes, but I find it weird you don't allow "this law is bad for humanity" as a possible motive.

because it is lazy. good and bad are both subjective.

shutting conversation down with “this is bad for humanity” additionally marginalizes a large portion of it. the alternative is also bad for humanity.

i find it weird that you view it as binary.

This implies that you believe in binary right and wrong and I'm "out" but you lack conviction

you described it in a way that implies it to be binary. my noticing is not my belief.
You finding it weird implies you believe there is a right and a wrong way to behave.
