Comment on Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live on stage during hacker conference

They can exist all they want, I do not respect them and I do not adhere to them. I live parallel to them. One does not need to be Robin Hood or the Unibomber to have meaning, that is an extremist understanding of change. One simply needs to live the life they believe to be ethical.

Functionally there is no difference
So, as long as you believe it’s ethical then it’s okay regardless of law and order. I hope the winds of change never turn against you such that you find the precedent reversed against you.

There is so much difference. You are clearly ignorant on the subject matter if you’re making such a claim.
That’s literally the risk we all face.
Look at all the law abiding immigrants in America who are rotting in concentration camps because the one with the keys to the kingdom changed.

Ideologically there is a lot of difference between sovereign citizens and anarchists, but functionally there is not. One is delusional in their disbelief of a state while the other believes that a state shouldn’t exist. At the end of the day both are opposed to the proper function of government.
No it’s not, the vast majority of law abiding citizens are not at risk in any legal based county. Even if the laws of the country change, so long as you follow the laws you are at little risk. There are exceptions of course, but the majority of people do not face that risk.
Look, I’m against putting people in concentration camps but this isn’t the argument we were having. If you want to use that example then immigrants who aren’t committing crimes but are not in the US under legal methods are still technically criminals. I will happily agree with you that their treatment isn’t right, but their status as illegal immigrants is still true. If you want to talk about legal immigrants and US citizens who have been detained or deported then that also has happened, but that is more a function of US officials breaking the law. You don’t go to Russia with a vape pen and expect not to be arrested because you’re an American or famous. Likewise you don’t go to China and call Xi Weenie the Pooh and expect to not get fucked with.
If your argument is that a government in the world is breaking the law then it’s ok for a private citizen in another country to break the law then you’re truly delusional. Hey, North Korea starved a bunch of people, and Iran killed a bunch of women who didn’t want to wear veils, so it’s ok for a guy in my country to hack a hate group in China.
That argument is ridiculous as well.

I think this is an extension of the paradox of intolerance. Laws are never absolute, and when one side has no respect for laws and enforces only what is advantageous for them this kind of action absolutely should count as self defence. We should fully support taking away the anonymity and feeling of immunity from those who abuse the law.

You talk like a chat bot. Stop defending nazis. You’re not defending the rule of law or any of that, you’re just defending nazis. Don’t do that. Supremacist ideology is incompatible with society as they expressly intend to destroy that society. It is always correct and right morally and ethically to remove anti-social ideologies. Legality is irrelevant.
