RE: Countless Activists Thrown In Prison! - What We Can Do About It (with Adam Kokesh)

There's a problem with that idea though. The law is often immoral. Laws are stacked to the ceiling now too. As the book suggested, people commit an average of three felonies a day. It becomes easier and easier to break the law, and more and more laws have felonies as the punishment. Felonies make you lose your gun rights too. Convenient, right?

Everything tyrannical governments do is "legal." "It's the law" cannot and should not be the deciding factor of whether a person follows it or not. Is there a victim? Is property being harmed? Is the law ethical? There are lots of questions to answer. If a law is not ethical, it is our duty to resist it... to ignore it. I for one hate double standards and special protections.

If a law creates one, I will ignore it at my choosing.

"This has been declared an unlawful assembly. Leave now or risk arrest." We cannot even protest now without being arrested. Some are shot, beat, etc. too. Don't you dare resist either... The new motto is "Comply or else" after all.

Someone made a post about this earlier on Steemit, titled "Can we please stop saying 'there should be a law against that?'"

everyone would do well to remember that in Germany, everything the Nazi's did was by-the-books legal.

The motto of law has ALWAYS been "OBEY". That is literally it's only function.
