Advocating against yourself.

Nope, you just don't understand the situation at all.

Change doesn't come from placation of an existing system.

The difficulty of their situation (ie threading the needle on providing value while toeing the line from a reg and stakeholder standpoint) is good for them. They don't want it to change. This is 101 stuff in business.

Nope, I'm not a fraudster, or a porn guy or drug guy or whatever other things currently banned. I'm quite happy with the status quo here. As are most of society.

Deflecting. You live in a society of powers. You're not an individual free of them and their consequences just because they didn't target you this time. If you were truly comfortable you would have good reasons to support their decision other than "it wasn't me this time!". Most of society is not happy with the status quo, why do you think they're so unhappy?

Lol, you seemed to miss the implication - I'm happy it's difficult for them to do business.
