    protesting genocide by any means if more ethically current than following the law.

    We’re taking about genocide, the worst crime known to manking.

      Doing something that gets your org banned by a government that isn’t even the one you’re protesting seems not only ineffective but counterproductive to me.

      Censorship laws in the UK are quite dystopian, but even in less authoritarian countries, this kind of action would result in serious consequences.

        meanwhile, said state is profiting from a genocide by selling weapons to murder starving children.

        still, said state has no moral high ground.

        and said protest made the news.

        if your state isn’t trying to ban you, are you even trying to change anything?

        or you should ignore protest where there state says using state approved methods, this way your protests is just a gathering that’s trivial to ignore?
