I'm just saying like I oppose the death penalty, but there are certain cases where I'm not going to die on that particular hill. I don't believe they should be killed, but the context of the moment is going to alienate more people than it convinces.
Same thing here. I oppose identification laws but making that argument in defense of those two is going to make folks think it's a fanatical position rather than a reasonable one.
It's far better to argue from a reasonable position and then extend that to other cases than just argue these places should be allowed to continue to weaponize anonymity.
One I heard recently is a murder case. I'd say it sounds like murder but fuck it he deserved to die
