I’ve always said that if you make laws that can conceivably be used by the strong to bully the weak, then they will be. Not 50% of the time, or 76% of the time, but 100% of the time. Alwaysalwaysalways. Always count on power to use the mechanisms of law you created in ways that you did not intend. Never cede power to universal grievances like “insult.” You’re asking for the disaster that ensues.
Currently the American left is so very carefully setting themselves up to be hoist by their own petard in precisely this fashion. Pay attention, folks, because this is you in twenty years.
