But surely, if all the laws are bad laws, then breaking a few is just common sense. Right? Pesky laws! They spoil all the fascist fun! I wish the National Guard could just refuse to be mobilized in D.C. At least when something like that happened in Canada, there had been some political kidnappings and a murder, and even then, it was a low point to see military in the streets in Quebec. Look up The October Crisis if you're interested.

I recall that service members were willing to get discharged for refusing a vaccine that followed the dotted "i"s and crossed "t"s and was a legal and legitimate order, but no one is standing up to actual tyranny by refusing these orders.

I hope reporters have Kent State bookmarked for reference.

Bad laws exist: legal slavery is the prima facia example. We tried to limit it through the legislative process but the secessionists fired on Fort Sumpter rather than abide the law. I see Trump, Project 2025, the unitary executive ideologues in the courts, and the Radical GOP as today’s secessionists and the first shots have already been fired.
