"The US is not following Socialist, Communist or Nazi Regime ideologies, and the laws you are "irritated" by don't rise to the level of committing government-sanctioned murder."
I very strongly disagree with you.
Blind law obedience is historically,
a bad thing. Even the American
military teaches
that if something you are ordered to do
seems to be a "crime", you should
disobey that order.
More Americans should be taught that concept.
Thanks for your thoughtful response!
Blind obedience is an opinion -- your opinion -- but not supported by facts.
There are plenty of people fighting the laws and pushing back on bad proposals.
To follow existing law is not being blind followers. It's following existing law, as we do in all aspects of our lives.
We have to work to change the laws. In the meantime, you're free to (1) continue following the laws until they are changed/repealed, or (2) adopt a civil disobedience mindset, picking only the laws you agree with to follow.
The choice and consequences are all yours.
that if something you are ordered to do
seems to be a "crime", you should
disobey that order.
Show me how following gun registration laws of the state is a criminal act.
The military members you used as examples would have been shot for disobeying their superiors. Not exactly a consequence everyone is willing to accept for refusing to follow orders they think are illegal.
You continue to conflate an illegal act of obeying military orders with a civilian following laws and ordinances passed by bodies of legislators and city council members. Obviously apples and oranges.
