You seem to be defending all laws of current legitimate governments. Is that right? So if ISIS won the war and became a legitimate government, would you then accept that people should be killed for having gay sex there? Would you ridicule those people, and even gay people in other countries who expressed understanding of their suffering?
When I live, saying "Heil Hitler" is not a crime so you have no business telling me I'm doing anything wrong or that I'm a bad person. I'm following my country's laws.
> the Romans were law-abiding people who did not try to overthrow a legitimate government.
No. They invaded many countries (or states or whatever you'd call the smaller entities that existed) and overthrew their governments. Unless you mean most of Europe and North Africa had no legitimate governments then?
I'm not the OP of the border guard story and you're making the least charitable assumption about my intentions. I think you're so angry about Nazis that you're seeing them everywhere and supportive of punishing anyone who even smells like one.
