You need to read some world history, the history of law, the philosophy of ethics, libertarian philosophy etc. If everyone had your attitude of following every single law no matter what then slavery would still be legal in the first world and men could beat their wives if they felt it was necessary. Pretend I am a monarch of a country. If I pass a law that no one can speak in public, that they must write down their communication on a piece of paper, does that make it unethical to speak in public? You have not spent much time thinking about these issues. And my main point was that you have such strong opinions about a legal case where you do not even know the name of the defendant. A law is a rule created by a government. Whether that is a monarchy such as a king or queen, or a republic, or democracy, it does not matter. It has no direct connection to what is right or wrong. Do a internet search for "dumbest laws that have ever existed". Just because someone wrote words down on a piece of paper to create a law does not make it just.

I feel falsely accused to not have thought about ethics philosophy and politics.

But I let you this beleave is this makes you happy. I would not be the person following any law no matter if I am in line with it or not.

I just think that having some thoughts or opinions in common with someone, does not legitimize this person to do everything.

Perhaps I consider myself doing a lot for freedom (stay away from commercially driven advertisement companies like Meta, Google and Amazon where possible, tryng to protect my privacy, pay for good journalism, vote for politicians, which fight for the weak people of society and keeping the spendings lower then my earnings). Therefore I sypatize with freedom tech as the tor project, Nostr, decentralized money and so on.

But all this ideas and knowledge does not make me forget about for whom is trump working. He is first and formost a big fascistic narcisist same as Elon Musk. And his actions are all first and formost for loyalty. Trump wrote himself, that the people who prosecuted on Ross were the same prosecuting him. So Trumps ides ar as great when he releases Ross as they are when he releases the Jan 6th rioters. These actions have no moral bases. It is about loyalty of a bananarepublic.

Man. You made claims about how what Ross did was wrong and unlawful. You have yet to tell me the American law he broke. You say you love freedom yet you believe the creators of a market are responsible for all the items sold and bought and not the individual who sold and bought them. I dont give a shit about trump. In America we split the powers of government which your own government has modeed itself after. We allow the executive branch to have this power because we acknowledge that prior administrations, the DOJ, the courts get things wrong sometimes. Based on your logic you eould have cheered for Socrates execution. You would have cheered for Jesus of Nazareth to be crucified. What Ross did was not wrong. We have no evidence of him coercing anyone to do anything against their will unlike his prosecutors. Your brain is going 1,000 miles an hour in ten different directions. You made several claims. I refuted them. I don't have time to hold your hand because you don't understand the history of law or why pardons exist. You clearly don't understand consent or property. Have a good day.
