All social progress the last 70 years have been partially or completely based on people violating laws. Actually that is probably the case for everything progress since since 1776, the us revolution wasn't exactly legal.
Or are you prepared to say that the founding fathers, the people who ran the underground slave road, the people who got thrown in jail for womens right to vote, the people who did sit ins at white only diners, etc were wrong?
- TeMPOraL 10y agoThere's violating, and there's violating. Tax evasion, speeding, or ignoring vehicle insurance regulations isn't going to bring great social progress. What was done in cases you brought up can be called civil courage. What we're talking about here is nothing more than selfish people breaking laws for selfish reasons. If law was meant to be broken on a whim, it wouldn't be law and we wouldn't call ourselves a society.
