To answer your question: not at all, anyone is welcome to speak out against what they view as unjust, but the person or entity rendering aid doesn't get to claim they too were victimized, or to use my previous example, "punched at" by it.But then you’re saying only the victims of a law should be able to speak out about it? Many times victims, by their very position, need the help of stronger allies.
Think about what that would mean. If a certain religion was being targeted, no one else has any business standing up and speaking for them?
The first amendment gives each one of us the right to decide for ourselves which laws to oppose. We don’t have to stand by and watch while others are being treated unfairly.
If a group of Christians started speaking out against the plight of Uyghur Muslims in China, unless/until China or another entity strikes back at those Christians for speaking out, the only ones who can reasonably say they are victimized in that situation are the Uyghurs themselves.
