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.

    I’m not even an unfrozen caveman lawyer, and I didn’t even click through, I just took what DDG provided, but I think both the second and third definitions certainly apply. To whatever degree it might be a loose fit, it doesn’t seem to merit this level of pedantry.

      But it’s just so much easier for them than confronting the reality!
