If you think someone can opt out of responsibility for partaking in repression, then I got bad news for you, yes.

    You think soldiers can just ignore lawful orders without severe repercussions? You can sit on your smug high horse when they start beating up innocent civilians.

    Yes, they can. I served. You can disobey illegal orders. If you partake, there is no excuse, and you could be charged for being an accessory after the fact.

    You've no clue what an illegal order is. Standing around and providing security is not an illegal order. You should know that.

    Listen, I hate the orange shitstain as much as the next guy, but he hasn't issued an illegal order nor are they following one.

    This is why I can't stand leftists as much as I can't stand right-wingers. You're all so disingenuous and always argue in bad faith, shame on you!

    You'll end up doing more damage to your movement than any fascist fuck could ever.
