Just look at the persecution of Martin Shkreli, courts are trying to railroad him simply because he wanted to make his company more efficient and profitable. He is an entrepreneur, it is his livelihood to make money.
Deviant lifestyles? How about the most deviant manifestation of politics -- fascism?
Shkreli -- a monopolist of the worst kind, the person who puts his own profiteering over the value of human life. He's the sort who attracts the attention of hostile prosecutors looking for some violation of the law.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
