One more cluster I can think of is attitude to copyright law. Something like:

Huh? It's illegal for me to copy that song? How totally stupid, I'm not harming anyone.
Strong intellectual property law is necessary to encourage innovation and protect artists.
Copyright law does more harm than good and needs to be reformed or abolished.

I basically object to copyright law because of 1. Clearly my opinion is transcendent, a least fixed point of meta-contrarianism.
