What? Did I just read that correctly? The “French” are not the government; the government is not “French.” The government does not in any accurate sense
“represent” the majority of the people, but
even if it did, even if 95% of the people decided to coerce 5% of the population, this will still be a form of social manipulation and oppression of a minority.
Crime is crime, aggression against rights is aggression, no matter how many citizens agree to the oppression. There is nothing sacrosanct about the majority; the lynch mob, too, is the majority in its own domain.
