    Sure presumption of innocence is a nice thing to do, but I think considering it a broad axiom is a little generous. Its overwhelming application is to prevent the legal system from branding someone as guilty before conviction.

    To me the implication of bringing up the UN declaration is it’s something I should hold myself to as a matter of human rights, but like you say I’m not really infringing on them and it doesn’t affect anything in the first place

    I’m not super concerned about whether he did it or not because I don’t think he should be punished regardless, so it doesn’t change the calculus for me

      I guess I am compelled to agree, based off of the discourse (not our convo, just broadly.)

      Yeah, I am frustrated with all the drama and not communicating effectively, I could have been more explicit in my reason for bringing it up in the first place similarly to my interaction with jaywalker further up.

      The thing that concerns, or rather frustrates, me is not about him being punished rightly or not so much as the way people were so willing to take up his standard with 0 investigation and claim him as a revolutionary figure. Although, I suppose I shouldn’t even be dragging the lionization shit up again and am just gonna let it go and log off for the weekend.
