I do actually agree, but because in that ideal world we don't need laws. Where context and society can actually solve issues and talk about it.

Imagine if we had a world where breaking morals had a societal response - I'm sure you can, because we do. To some effects an extreme and deadly reaction.

Laws don't reflect morality, culture or context. They try with courts and yes, mob mentality could seemingly go badly - but isn't that because law will punish vigilantism?

We know what's wrong and right, the law does not.
