ID: white text on a black background around a faded photo of a person with a black face scarf on and a hat that says “illegal” on it:
“But it’s illegal”
"Saying that something is illegal is not an argument, it is an appeal to authority. Laws are arbitrary dictates to control a population, not universal standards of morality.

It’s not an anarchist perspective, but I do love quoting David Henry Thoreau’s essay on civil disobedience at the kinds of people who think that the law determines what is right. It’s very useful for justifying a lot of the less radical activism to the moderates, helps with recruitment and all that too
