Believe it or not, but there are externalities to the polemics you are describing.
The ostentatious posturing (I am a tiny minority that is virtuous, everyone else just wants to punish people and doesn’t the law to apply to everyone equally) is pretty ignorant. I’ve lived in multiple countries across North America, Europe and Asia, it’s clear that you haven’t that about this.
It’s comically easy to find well known (locally) examples where even the non polemical version of your arguement doesn’t hold.
