They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

    Right, better that they die in their own country rather than seek asylum elsewhere and “give the middle finger” to those with more money, connections and time than they have.

    Dying is bad but being disrespectful of unfair rules? Well nothing is worse than that.

      Maybe it’s unfair their own country isn’t helping them. Again, if you feel our rules are unfair there are mechanisms to change them. Ignoring them is not the proper approach.

        I know, I already agreed with you. Being proper is much more important than people’s lives. Much smarter to work on changing the laws of a country you don’t reside in, or you not dying might have the horrible tragedy of breaking a rule.

          As a diabetic, I wasn’t able to obtain affordable insulin (which threatens my life), so I hijacked a truck and stole a case. This is clearly morally correct.

            It certainly isn’t morally wrong, no

            It’s always ethical to steal from big pharma, fuck them, but especially so if you were fucking dying thanks to the inflated price of insulin

            Yes. Stealing what you need to survive—especially when someone keeps it from you solely for profit—is not only morally correct, it is walk-from-an-explosion sunglasses-wearing cool.

                Am I a landlord in this scenario keeping unused housing unavailable for profit?

                Because if that’s the analogy I absolutely condone the seizing of my property to shelter the unhoused.

                Stealing a truck full of artificially expensive medicine is different than removing insulin from someone else’s veins.

                  Got it, communism. See you in the gulag, comrade! “All landlords are immoral” is so far removed from mainstream America I don’t even know what to say. Why don’t you shove off to one of those socialist paradises like Cuba if you feel this way?

                  Great. Let me know how many beds you will be opening to the homeless.

                    Do you think it’s still the 80s and screaming “RED!” can end an argument? Communism is cool and all the kids these days agree.

                    “All landlords are immoral” is so far removed from mainstream America I don’t even know what to say.

                    lol, no it isn’t.

                    Why don’t you shove off to one of those socialist paradises like Cuba if you feel this way?

                    How do you know I don’t live in Cuba already?

                    Great. Let me know how many beds you will be opening to the homeless.

                    When did I say I wasn’t Cuban or was a landlord?

        Disagree. Ignoring unjust rules is awesome and more people should do it.
