ID: white text on a black background around a faded photo of a person with a black face scarf on and a hat that says “illegal” on it:

“But it’s illegal”

"Saying that something is illegal is not an argument, it is an appeal to authority. Laws are arbitrary dictates to control a population, not universal standards of morality.

      -said the cop who’s legally lying

      This reminds me of that scene in Breaking Bad where

      Badger gets arrested by an undercover cop who told Badger that “cops can’t lie” 🤣
