  One may well ask: “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?” The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.”

    How would you categorize the community rules “Be nice to each other”, “Don’t insult each other” and “Don’t call for violence”? Just or unjust, dair or unfair, sensible or dumb, expedient or not?

      How would you categorize the feddit.org admin using a snark comm get people to send DM harrassment to users who upvoted the feddit.org defederation thread?

      is that ‘being nice’?

        Why the whataboutism? Please answer my question and do not answer with whataboutism or the discussion is over.

        I followed your link. It shows a comment you made, yet with another link to a comment by Emopunker@feddit.org. And you claim that they harass people. The comment by Emopunker shows a screenshot where three usernames are listed that share similarities. Emopunker says that they have the suspicion that the shown users are the same person with alt accounts.

        In conclusion: I wonder whether you forgot to attach some context, because based on this alone I don’t see anything that support your claims.

      Easy: unjust, unfair, dumb.

      Nazis easily pretend to be the nice people following the rules and if you get angry you’re the bad one. Don’t be nice to Nazis. Yell at them, insult them, punch them. Enforcing laws to protect oppressors is nothing more than protecting oppressors. “The only legitimate violence is state violence” and all that propaganda.

      The Nazis are the ones breaking the “be nice” rule in the first place, they just do it while speaking nicely, they talk about enforcing rules and protecting order, but somehow they always dodge the question of how many people their order is killing. That’s not being nice. The rule is only there to forbid you for fighting back.

      If you think that the “be nice” rule should punish calls to take down Israel or contest german support for the genocide, but not punish that same support for the genocide because it’s nice and polite… You’re just protecting the genocide. It doesn’t matter if anti-genocide comments are not nice enough for you - they shouldn’t have to be nice. Especially not when the German government literally makes it illegal to denounce Israel, even nicely.
