> Clearly that's nonsense, but I do understand the underlying desire.

I wanna eat hamburgers like Peter Griffin in the stroke episode. But I don't because I'm an adult with logical thinking abilities and I know that there are consequences to my actions even if they are not immediate.

I have less, much less, than zero sympathy for people who advocate for doing things with law and government that the history textbooks are stuffed full of the horrific and nearly inevitable eventual consequences of.

Having benign motives doesn't absolve people for being stupid.

Not that any of this is in disagreement with your points.
