This is bullshit. You definitely didn't live under corrupt south america regimes. Or in Soviet Union. Or in Belarus (author's location AFAICS).
If the law is very bad (e.g. death penalty for homosexuality), then it's not people who are wrong when they're breaking it.
- goshakkk 13y agoIn there, they don't allow you to practice peaceful protest to the current regime by simply walking into the streets and clapping. No signs, no speeches, no anything. Just a crowd clapping is outlawed. Among other things, they fined a one-handed (!) man for clapping (!). Do you think it is proper to still practice obedience to the rulers in this case? What is different in the case of anonymous voluntary exchange? Sure, they can outlaw clapping. Or breathing. Or being over 1m tall. Or anything. But just the fact that these people might tell you "breathing is bad" or "being 1m+ is terrible" does not make it actually this way.
