In April, 1933, the Geheime Staatspolizei, or "Secret State Police", otherwise known as Gestapo, was created by Hermann Goering. This was done by combining multiple local police forces into a single one and federalizing it. This was legal.

In July 1933, Nazis revoked the citizenship of German Jews. This was done by passing the "Law on Denaturalization and Revocation of Citizenship", leaving millions of Germans effectively stateless. This was legal.

In September 1935, The Nuremburg Laws were enacted, further codifying the Nazi plan that only people with "Aryan" blood were citizens of Germany. This was legal.

In May 1940, Auschwitz was built in Poland. It was a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps used during the Holocaust to imprison undesirables. This was legal.

On 5 July 1942, Margot Frank received a notice to report to a labor camp in Germany as part of the Nazi's systematic deportation of Jews from Nazi occupied Netherlands. It was well known that this was effectively a death sentence. This was legal.

On 4 August 1944, Anne Frank and her family were discovered in hiding by Gestapo, arrested, and deported to various Nazi concentration camps. Anne and Margot were deported to Auschwitz. This was legal.

On 1 November 1944, Anne Frank and her sister Margot were transferred to Bergen-Belsen, a starvation extermination camp. This was legal.

In either February or March 1945, Margot Frank died in Bergen-Belsen, a victim of typhus and starvation. Her sister Anne died the next day. This was legal.

On 15 April, 1945, British troops liberated Bergen-Belsen, where they walked straight into a nightmare. Approximately 60,000 starving and mortally ill people lay among thousands of unburied bodies, packed together without food, water, or sanitation. This liberation was ILLEGAL, and accomplished solely through the use of military force.

The point is, the actions of the current regime, the kidnapping of civilians, the deportations to Libya and El Salvador, the inhumane treatment of arrestees, the use of federalized law enforcement combined with military force against brown people, these things aren't immoral "because they're illegal". They're immoral because they're immoral, and it's going to take ILLEGAL force to do the right, good, and moral thing.

@Lana > it's going to take ILLEGAL force to do the right, good, and moral thing

Is this calling for violence? It reads like it's alluding to violence
@feld I am not calling for violence. I am desperately trying to make you understand the violence has already begun.
@Lana define the "illegal force" that needs to be used then
@feld you'll know it when they come for you.
@Lana so you ARE advocating for violence. Why not just say it?

@feld I am not. And the fact that you keep reframing this with me as the supposed aggressor is very telling.

@Lana then denounce violence instead of saying we need to "use ILLEGAL FORCE because they're already being violent"

Or provide a definition for "illegal force"

@feld @Lana funny, in her passage above, her only example of illegal force was the British army

She said she wasnโ€™t calling for violence

Reading for comprehension

@glasspusher what do *you* think "illegal force" is?

She literally said:

> it's going to take ILLEGAL force to do the right, good, and moral thing.
@feld bruh. Whatโ€™s the damage here? Stop demanding others say a thing so you can do whatever youโ€™ve got planned. Asked and answered, move on.
@cascheranno it was never directly answered and I'd like to know if these people saying this type of shit are putting me at risk by having that content federated onto my server

@feld it was directly answered.

If a law is unethical, ethical behavior is illegal.

However, illegal or not is different from violent or not. Force is not equal to violence. You may wish to extrapolate to that, but each time folks have declined to say that. Asked and answered. Last weekโ€™s millions in opposition = contrary force. Deposing Yoon took force, but not really violence.
