I think this falls under the category of "Two wrongs don't make a right".
Nefarious actions by others shouldn't justify your own. We can do better.
Im implying that two wrongs dont make a right.
You do know that two wrongs do not make a right.
That's a slightly more sophisticated take, compared to "ugh this person did something Very Bad (TM), let's disregard absolutely anything else that they did", isn't it?
Yeah, interesting the things people want to punish for. The inverse isn’t quite a grace.
It's not clear to me that I should be punished for doing something that doesn't harm or affect others simply because they dislike it. It even seems a bit unreasonable, to be honest.
So I'm being punished for the actions of some idiots I never met? That's not better.
Someone did something bad.Therefore it's no longer bad for someone else to do it.?I'm not seeing the 'good guy' POV here.
Because two wrongs don't make a right?
