Anyone who says "all of x is justified" or "all of y is unjustified" is usually wrong.

I thought we were smart enough to realise that on HackerNews.

Parent of mine claimed that the law as practiced is unjust, I said, largely that's not true and that there's a pretty strong propaganda campaign against the legal system (due to aligned incentives of stoking up rage for clicks).

I didn't claim that unfairness didn't exist, merely that it's not the default.

I have now been told that because plea bargains exist for those who show remorse, that the law never follows due process.

Are we stupid? What's happening here?
