    What? I’m not saying that rules and laws are never weaponized. I’m saying that this is not the reason why some social norms are not enforced. “Not using phones on trains” rules already exist. There are stickers in most public transport that say this. All examples I gave already exists as laws. Clearly the worry is not that if you create laws prohibiting those things they will be weaponized. Because those laws already exist. Enforcement is the issue and it comes down to resources and priorities. From the perspective of an average citizen laws that are weaponized are still not effectively enforced.

        I gave you very specific example: phones on planes. Are you saying that those rules discriminate marginalized people? Have you seen a lot of white people on the phone on a plane while minorities are being dragged out by security? I have not seen anyone talking on the phone on a plane and I traveled all over Europe. So I guess go to Europe and examine how flight crews handle their responsibility.

        I love how you busted out a thesaurus for this one just to say nothing at all. Literal drivel.
