    Yes. You cannot legislate morality, or you simply force anyone who doesn’t share your morality to be a criminal.

    There’s a reason our legal system is based around standing and provable harm.

    Imagine if we made “being conservative” illegal. People would riot, and quite justifiably.

        It most assuredly is not, and just going by “number of countries with fucked up laws” most legal systems are dumb as hell

          Again, I didn’t say all countries follow objective morality (Basically countries that violate human rights, which is basically the closest thing to a codified objective morality we have)
