Well, that’s some mixed messaging, right there, guys.
In no society or community is there perfect alignment of laws and ethical principles.
In every society there are situations where a distinction must be made between what is legal and what is right.
In the better communities and societies, the distinctions are few. But sometimes, you need to choose, because the distinction is real, and the stakes are high. Sometimes, you need to ask a question: when confronted with genuine evil, will I follow the rules, or will I do what is right?
In this thread, there is discussion about whether it is moral to engage white supremacists using methods that may sometimes run contrary to commonly-accepted community behaviour. In this thread, multiple posts that engaged white supremacist apologism have run contrary to the community guidelines.
That is way too meta before my first cup of coffee.
Yeah, well. We tried not engaging for a while in the 1930s. It’s the one thing we know doesn’t work. Eat what you gotta eat.
And thank you!
