- tremon 2y agoIf everyone had abided by rules and laws, the US wouldn't exist as a country.
- fl0id 2y agoYeah, and rules and laws are never just, just because of their nature. Like dictators have laws… incompetent governments have laws… so law itself is a bad argument to follow it and a lot of socio-legal literature actually recognizes that social processes and to some degree social contracts that can include the exact opposite of the law are often at least as important.
