Sure, and I don’t support this guy.
I do find it funny though that the same government that does this exact thing at scale works so hard to go after people who do this.
It’s not that they think it’s wrong, it’s that they don’t want competition.
The point of government is to have a monopoly on various kinds of power and control.
It’s the core concept of the thing, with the first premise being a monopoly on violence.
It’s not hypocritical for a government to say it’s not wrong when they do violence and it is wrong when others do it.
A government may commit moral or immoral violence, or express moral or immoral values in its actions.
But it’s not hypocrisy to not want competition. It’s the point of the thing.

That one idea, of many.
