Whenever this topic comes up, I'm confused as to how commenters railing against sociopaths for breaking social rules reconcile that idea against the reality that the collective (government) that sets these rules also routinely breaks these rules (see treatment of Snowden). If the rules are not consistent, why so obsessively stand up for them?
