These are our rules:
Be civil

No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
I interpreted this as "it's shitty to write terrible laws, but even shittier to just blithely enforce them and vaguely acklowledge that they are shitty while doing so".
After all making laws doesn't itself matter in the slightest, what matters is enforcement so enforcing terrible laws is the worse thing.
Concrete example: Houston food not bombs. You couldn't pay me an amount of money to harass people feeding the homeless.
Also, just following orders is not a defense.
