And Putin doesn't have a choice either or he will be killed, same with Kim Jong Un and Trump would be in prison if he wasn't a tyrant.

It's always a choice no matter how you try to paint it, stealing from supermarkets to eat is above being an ICE officer morally speaking.

I don't really get your first paragraph - there's a world of difference in options between those at the top & those at the bottom.

Nonetheless, I agree it's always a choice... to an extent. When you've got others depending upon you to provide, or you're not educated or mature enough to understand what all this means and are just trying to survive - how much of it is really a choice?

I'm not saying they're saints, but I expect at least some of them would rather be doing something else if they could get enough pay for it.

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)
