Civil Disobedience

• noblethrasher 13y ago
  But remember, civil disobedience means you agree to the legal consequences of your actions. In the case of contempt of court, it means jail time until you comply.

    No, jail or other punitive response is not a necessary condition of civil disobedience.

    Defenders of the status quo really don't get to define this term. Civil disobedience will be, whatever it must be. In a hundred years blowhards on the intermind will compare their political opponents unfavorably with Levison, Snowden, etc. It will be just as ridiculous and unseemly as it is now.
