- mvdtnz 2y agoThat doesn't answer my question.
- ttyprintk 2y agoThere are at least two ways to answer a question about laws criminalizing deviance instead of criminalizing problems: - it’s politically advantageous to never explicitly legislate which rights are taken away. This keeps the issue alive among your base. You never want to effectively enforce that. - You make an in-group based on obedience to the spirit of a law; a spirit that’s risky to spell out in writing because you know it’s on the wrong side of history. So, the status quo benefits one party; and is the best that the other party could hope to negotiate.
