What are “society’s rules”? Laws? Laws are arbitrary and regularly criminalize particular demographics or even singular entities for whatever reason to enforce an agenda.

Yeah, those stupid "society's rules" that give us the freedom to not be afraid to walk around without being armed, or worry about your house getting broken into. Such pesky laws that are so arbitrary and infringing on people's demographics.

You're being downvoted but you're making a valid point. The rich and poor alike are both restrained from robbing others for money, yet the rich are unlikely to attack you on the street because they have no need to. It sucks to be poor, but it sucks even worse to be poor in a lawless society.
