    Justification is easy. Damn near no one does anything they don’t feel is justified. You may not agree with it, but that doesn’t really matter, because the right people will.

    A lot of the most evil shit in history was done by people who felt completely justified in doing it.

    Justification is a stupidly low bar.

      You’re missing the point. We don’t need to justify to the government why we need to do anything. The government needs to justify to us why it should be prohibited. Feeling justified in your own actions doesn’t come into it.

      As for “the most evil shit in history”, it should be extremely easy for the government to justify prohibiting it.
