You see this a lot in politics, where opposition to a policy is taken as evidence of opposition to the purported goals of a policy. The policy itself becomes an unquestioned, automatic value.
Was that a real anecdote about the shoes? That’s pretty funny. I’d like a pair of them. It would make a nice gift to government officials.
The shoe example seems more of a case of the problems of enforcing top down goals, and the inherent conflicts between individuals enacting collective goals. The shoe goal was probably never any particular person’s goal in the first place.
