  They’re not, but is that an excuse to be lawless too? If the enemy commits war crimes, how are you any better if you do the same?

    oh but history shows they were

    we don’t have to guess how this plays out, educate yourself

    ‘better’ is for the strong and civilized, we are not strong in this mess and civil went out with Jan 6th

    they’ve broken the social contract, they no longer deserve its protection

        if you’re not in the US I can’t claim to be informed enough

        i do know Nazis are resurfacing everywhere though so more than likely you’re just fucking oblivious

    You shouldn’t need an excuse to be lawless; laws are usually bad, and never good in cases where something else wouldn’t do the trick.

    They’re a tool for the powerful to save face and appropriate progressive efforts when on the defensive, to divide us and keep us complacent when they’re on the offensive. They are the shield and sword of injustice. Not a fan.

      Thanks to laws I live in a wealthy country where I can walk safely on the street anywhere any time without being in danger. No one has guns, there’s safe infrastructure, crime levels are low. But if you live in the US, a corrupt and failed state, or any other corrupt country, I get your sentiment.

        Thats one word for ‘colonialism’. Samesies btw! And there are streets where i cant use the sidewalk bevause of all the tents, so fuck it.

        Because of the laws and their enforcers; i never feel safe. Maybe this is just a class position thing?

        guns

        Fair, but it’s not the guns that tend to scare me here.

        corrupt and failed

        Corrupt; you can explain what the fuck that means, that just seems like liberal standard english for ‘i don’t like’. Failed: nope, can tell by all the men with guns who would be cheered if they killed me, but i wouldn’t share a glass of water with in case they choked and i was disappeared forever.
