Intelligencia upset that I'm supporting them...?

It's a problem of representing the intelligentsia as idealists, not realists. Of course I mean they shouldn't be one or the other but instead be coherent depending on what infleunces their thinking at the moment. Like a philosophical movement or political idea or something.

Again, the current implementation makes perfect sense. If the law actually passes, they will still be more happy than unhappy - they will just be LESS happy than they would be if you had done it the "right" way.
If you cancel the law without it passing, then of course they'll be unhappy about you using tyrannical means. Why wouldn't they be?

The notion that it's not possible for someone to want something but still care at least a little about how it happens is just silly.
