The only person who suggested that was yourself.

You were proven incorrect. There’s no need to move goal posts, it’s not that serious, just accept it and move on.

You have reading comprehension difficulties.

From the post I was replying to: “and it's a fallacy to imagine you'll never end up there if you don't ever do anything wrong”

“IF YOU DON’T EVER DO ANYTHING WRONG”

But you are right, interacting with this sort of person on the internet is probably a waste of my own time.

I bet you think Ulbricht did something wrong too.

Anyone thumbing their nose at the feds or sticking their dick in a 16yo knows what the risks are.

Now, that's not to say I wouldn't welcome with open arms the "errors" of the legal system (or tax system, or municipal code enforcement, or pretty much anything else where government really screws people by messing up) being concentrated upon the demographics that make up places like HN. After all, the ignorance of said demographics do the bulk of the heavy lifting when it comes to providing the political will to perpetuate unjust systems, for they themselves rarely find themselves targeted by them and when they do they can usually pay the problem away. But I do agree with the person you're replying to, the demographics that make up HN find themselves subject to the kind of law enforcement scrutiny that puts you in prison less than the population average.

Well, he did facilitate drug trade. I wouldn't call that "not doing anything wrong".

Whether you believe it's morally right or wrong, that doesn't matter - he did violate several high profile laws.
