  • You know, I made an argument like this once, and some dumbass came in with

    “WeLl i gUeSs wE ShOuLd jUsT StArT MuRdErInG PeOpLe hUh iF LaWs dOn’t mAtTeR.”

    Completely missing the point.

    I don’t think you’re a dumbass but I do think you’re missing the point. These kinds of discussions aren’t meant as a “no rules hehehe” movement, they’re meant as a “there’s a ridiculous systemic framework that is wildly outdated and it’s only getting worse, with bad actors using it to pass horrible laws. We should get comfortable with resisting these laws using good reasoning”

    What if every single person in the US suddenly started blocking ice from entering any buildings? There would be nothing, not a damn thing, that any executive order could do about it. We outnumber the lawmakers and thus it’s up to us to keep their power in check.

    That’s what this is about, using little examples like this to get this idea of you do not have to follow ridiculous, dangerous laws into the public consciousness.
