or mature enough to understand what all this means and are just trying to survive - how much of it is really a choice?

Then nothing is a choice, everything is a product of your nurture and nature and free will is an illusion

I unironically believe this, yet I also believe that all fascists (including ICE, obviously) need their "medicine" (lead)

Everything is a product of nurture and nature. Free will is an illusion. Your brain doesn't give a shit.

Also, law and order isn't based on if there were better choices but which choice you chose.

The fact that your choice was based on fate doesn't change the consequences. It doesn't unassault a 70 year women.

There can be a noticeable difference in choices when there's a lack of understanding what that choice means. If Trump getting into office again didn't make that clear, I don't know what to tell you.
