I think our disagreement is that to you the law is unequivocally the effect of society’s will, while to me the law is simply what the government says it is.

Ideologically we agree, and as an anarchist I believe that kind of truly society-driven rules can be achievable, especially on smaller scales. But when you’re an authority that can make new laws to make the illegal things legal, that’s where they diverge. It doesn’t matter if you do that like Nazi Germany or whatever the fuck Trump is doing, my original point was that it simply makes no sense to talk about whether they are doing is “legal” or “illegal” - the words just lose meaning, and to me it feels like putting faith in a system that is itself part of the problem.
