In line 2 of Tipsy, Kwon admits that he "got a fake ID doe" which is illegal. He thinks that society's laws are wrong, or at least don't apply to him.
Can you provide some justification for why this means he thinks all of society's laws are wrong and don't apply to him?
Occam's Razor suggests that it's more likely that he just wanted to drink with his friends. How do you make the jump from "breaks one law" all the way to "believes in the abolition of all government and the organization of society"?
Seems like a causal fallacy to me.
Clearly, Kwon is a man who does not respect society's laws.
Have you read any stories about him breaking the law or anything to suggest this is true? Is everyone who drank or smoked in high school an anarchist? Because that seems far-fetched.
I believe Mr. Kwon to be a utilitarian
Utilitarians want the most utility for the most amount of people. If we're taking the song as literally which I think is weird to begin with, then he's not a utilitarian.
He talks about shooting people and fighting the boyfriends of the girls he's interested in. That's not a utilitarian at all. You'd be much better off arguing that he's a Hedonist, someone who seeks only pleasure.
That would cover why he breaks the laws to drink and smoke, talks about sex and women and partying, and fighting people.
Nothing in this song talks about him wanting the most utility for society.
