      “If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”

      • Thomas Jefferson

      Were the people who fought against the rapid corruption and authoritarianism of Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Stalin-era Russia unjust for refusing to obey the laws that told them to kill Jews, Chinese and anarchists?

      Were the slave abolitionists in America wrong for freeing slaves, by illegal means? Were women who pushed for greater bodily autonomy by disobeying sexist laws incorrect?

      It is your moral duty to resist any law that imposes an unjust inequality to anyone and everyone.

        There you go, a call for insurrection, just like the right did when they lose. But ohh this one is done for good where the unjust haven’t even started yet. The progressive lawmaker is working hard to trump-proof their state while the lefties is looking for insurrection. Lot of self own within america lately.

        Ohh so you mean lefties deliberately not voting, which is breaking the system that lefties believe is oppressive, and then allowing the fascist to rise to power, then call for insurrection?

        Last i heard lefties are the one calling for protest vote or no voting. You want me to believe they’re the righteous one?

          A) Fascists were already in power. They are currently committing genocide.

          B) Yes, doing the only thing that might stop a genocide within our lifetime was a left wing action, and yes its righteous. Maybe don’t commit genocide next time.

            Fascists were already in power. They are currently committing genocide.

            And i didn’t see the fight to take back the power from the government. So yeah i’m eagerly waiting for absolutely nothing to happen in the future.

              You did, but you probably called them annoying and celebrated the militarized police clearing out the camps.

              But that’s okay. We forgive you.

      Yes, Liberals are whiny little cowards while leftists are the people who will actively fight back. I personally see nothing wrong with some good economic sabotage and militias.

        Ohh yes, whiny little coward that go out and vote while the brave leftists sitting at home protesting the choice they have to made which in return allowing fascist to be voted in which then they whine about fascist being voted in and threaten violence. Bravo, lefties, bravo.

          I’m not sure who you are talking about, I voted for Kamala. However, the difference between me and a liberal is im more then happy to take direct action. I’ll do whatever it takes to fight fascism both with the ballet box and the cartridge box.

              As someone in left wing circles most leftists only pretended not to vote to put pressure on Kamala, in the end most of them voted for her

                Not sure if you can have it both ways. How do you take “direct action at the ballot box” while also only pretending to withold your vote?

                  The idea was that leftists could apply pressure by threatening to withhold their vote, in retrospect it was a flawed idea but I understand why leftists did it. In the end they mostly voted anyway for Kamala, some voted third party but not a significant amount of people did.
