Someone tried to burn down a warehouse in Kansas City that ICE wanted to buy for its concentration camp system.

Revered by law-abiding citizens, yes, but they are being hunted down by a group far closer to the Nazis who ran Auschwitz. Law-abiding citizens will, of course, help the right-thinking arsonist to remain free.

I guess maybe that's the difference between abiding and enforcing. Not all laws need to be enforced, and if you want people to abide the law you really shouldn't try to enforce all the laws all the time -
@HeavenlyPossum That person was playing Mario Kart with me whenever this happened
@gneilyo @HeavenlyPossum And they were trouncing us. Dodging blue shells, even.

Ehh, fuck the law. The Nazis obeyed the law. I'm not interested in giving a fuck about "law abiding citizens," and I'm more interested in celebrating people who disobey fascist authority and law.

This person is now being hunted by police and will be arrested and prosecuted for a crime if caught.
If someone had burned down Auschwitz during its construction, that person would be remembered by history as a hero.
@HeavenlyPossum i know them, they and i were hanging out at the library when it happened

Not all laws need to be enforced, and if you want people to abide the law you really shouldn't try to enforce all the laws all the timeThis is a deeply concerning sentiment that I take very seriously, because there's a whole world of thought and philosophy that is affected by this approach to looking at law in society.
You want a just system, but the system shouldn't be twisted against itself (as it is NOW) through pentest-level attacks on its 'good faith' deficencies.
It's said the Founding Fathers were mostly under 30, and mostly drunk or nursing hangovers when they wrote the constitution. They were all in it together, and not thinking about insidious sociopaths.
There's something about your understanding about abiding and enforcing that has not previously been considered. We depend on juries for course correction, but it's not settled law, it's just one decision after much long deliberation.

@HeavenlyPossum May the next fires lit be successful.

In this case, crime is the correct thing to do, because law and morality are two radically different phenomena.

Interesting that people seem to believe I am talking about anything but the moral law.

I think the issue is the use of the word "law". Laws are a set of rules enforced by an authority, while morality is a set of personal and/or agreed upon, case by case judgements seeking to minimise harm. Thus, talking about "moral law" is at best confusing, at worst contradictory.
I believe it's best to use each word separately.

@HeavenlyPossum She's a fucking hero and a patriot. History will remember her bravery and courage.
️ (Not that anybody saw nothin', of course. She was at my house. We were watching the hit 1964 Stanley Kubrick film "Dr. Strangelove", and then discussing it until 2:00 AM.) -

All the atrocities ever committed were "legal" while acting as a human being was considered a crime. I don't wipe my ass with such law, I shit on it. @uc @HeavenlyPossum

@HappyCrow13 @HeavenlyPossum this one was! The building wasn't burnt down, but it doesn't really have to be
the contract was cancelled, and I'd say preventing a concentration camp from opening is pretty much as successful as one can get
