> So "Just don't be gay/smoke weed, it's not legal, if you don't like it there's a process to get that changed" is the kind of viewpoint that's compatible with your ideology then?

Sure (although I don't think there's ever been a law against being gay, only against particular acts).

> There MUST be room for petty noncompliance to let people discover that the noncompliance in some unknown case is perhaps not bad in order to kick start the process.

Petty noncompliance isn't the only source of information, and even if it was, that doesn't negate the cost to society.

> People like you are actively working to prevent and delay alignment between the people and the government/laws. If everyone subscribed to your ideology nothing would ever get done. If more people subscribed to it then things would change slower than they do.

So the wild swings of public opinion will be tempered somewhat, and society's path will be smoothed. Yes, that's the point. Same spirit as having a constitution and a second chamber rather than making everything run on a simple majority.

> I'm not saying go murder your neighbor because "fuck the law" or whatever

But you are. That's where your ideology leads once people start following it in practice.
