Hacker News is usually pretty laissez-faire, but this isn't the normal tone here.
I think one can distinguish between laissez-faire that amounts to "leave human beings to live as they will" and another concept that is "everything is permitted to the powerful".

However, many people conflate the two propositions, and would like the rest of us to conflate them as well.
