Yeah, becoming unacceptable is a good way to open yourself up to violence, abuse and corruption of the legal system itself just to get rid of you. Becoming unacceptable opens yourself up to getting killed for no good reason. The people around you have the power to collectively decide you need to go, and to remove you, at any time and for any reason, and they will subvert their own laws to do it... remember the lockdowns if you don't believe me.
I don't care if it's hypocritical of me to say. It's the truth. People are no-good monsters to be feared specifically for that reason.
maybe you're taking it too literally
Perhaps. I have seen it happen literally way too may times myself to really be able to treat it as anything but. I take your point though.
