i dont live in the world of hypotheticals. I am a left brain analytical person. that is how I operate.
Someone who is incapable of answering hypotheticals is a poor planner and strategist. Anything that requires preparing for something that isn't yet present involves hypotheticals.
Also, someone who is incapable of answering hypotheticals, but then calls out someone else for not answering hypotheticals, is a hypocrite.
The problem with calling yourself a left-brain analytical person is that you seem to struggle with abstracts and their possibilities in the "real world." Left-brain people tend to be very good at dealing in hypotheticals, because abstracts can be applied to hypotheticals just as well as they can be applied to real-world examples.
However, to placate you, let's use a real-world example. Support government eventually made it illegal to criticize the government, no matter what it did. Suppose it also banned the ownership of firearms outright. Those both have indeed happened various times in history, so they're not impossible hypotheticals.
OUGHT a person be vilified morally for breaking those laws?
If you say yes, you're an actual advocate for fascism. If not, then you don't actually believe "the law is the law." You believe in subjective, arbitrary application of the law.
