I'm someone else who doesn't really care for activists. Like I don't really care for you, and the law shouldn't either.
The reason that so many statues depict justice with a blindfold is that the law shouldn't care whether you're an activist or anyone else — the law applies equally to us all.
OP seems to be someone who cares about blind justice. "Symmetric" isn't the word I would choose, but I think you see how it has nothing to do with activism and everything to do with fairness and equality before the law.
- croon 5y agoI care for activists, and still think everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law. They're not mutually exclusive, which I assume is why GP asked. Activists usually oppose forces with an outsized legal sway which puts the activists in huge risks of being unfairly treated, as we know the law isn't as blind as it should be. It's not that they should recieve special treatment, but merely that both the law and us observers should be extra vigilant that justice is indeed served.
