...within the confines of what is legal.
agree we can not tolerate what is not legal.
- goalieca 6y agoStrongly disagree. The laws may be unjust and immoral and civil disobedience may just be the cure. How many were arrested and imprisoned during the civil rights movement or to abolish the slavery? Democracy is very messy and people who overly emphasize order naturally lend themselves to authoritarianism.
- gz5 6y agosure, there are exceptions to any rule. my view is the general rule we are talking about is censorship is usually a tool of intolerance. similarly, acting within our laws is usually the right course of action (and using the freedoms we have to attempt to change those laws we don't agree with).
