I don't have a general issue with thieves, pirates, drug users, gun owners, class supremacists, alt culture enjoyers. Hell, I don't even have a problem with tax evaders, mafioso, smugglers, propagandists, hackers, leakers, bad tech agents, spies, gum chewers, or jaywalkers; I only have a problem with those people when it causes a certain level of harm to society where it is coming at the cost of other humans suffering, of which said suffering needs to be something quantifiable, rather than interpretive.
Case in point: A thief who steals a loaf of bread to feed himself and his family? I don't care. A thief who steals an entire bakery worth of bread gets me curious, but if the reasoning is for a greater good, I actually don't care. If a thief steals bread specifically to resell at a higher price for personal gain or to spite society because he is miserable, that's when I give a shit and go on attack because the intent is "Harming society by being overly selfish"
Of which, my main interest focuses, always fall under that category. Egregiously selfish intent that brings harm to society, of which I define as blissfully wholesome people who don't deserve to get kicked around by some fucking asshole having a bad day or a bad mental state. Kids don't deserve that, animals don't deserve that. Innocent people who aren't being giant selfish assholes hurting others don't deserve that.
And this is the very big kicker, I only focus when something has happened, is happening, or will happen. Let's say you're a cult member or leader, but your cult operates in a state of not planning to do harm. I don't like you, but I don't care, there's nothing actionable on the table, that changes once you do something, then I focus because you must face accountability in that, especially if it brings quantifiable harm to others at their expense for your gain, whatever it may be.
