Nuremberg defense didn't work because they were active participants. Someone like Snowden can merely quit their job or otherwise refuse to assist.
Manning is rightfully serving 35 hard years in jail because she was butthurt about the military. She's a great a reason why it shouldn't be allowed.
- toyg 11y agoThe Nuremberg defense "didn't work" because it was not morally justifiable, nothing to do with being active or passive - the whole trial literally created law out of moral imperatives. I urge you to educate yourself on the German post-nazi discourse. Also, quitting your job is not an answer, evil does not stop if you ignore it.
