It really depends on what you believe about the legitimacy of man-made law. Large segments in the world population do not consider it be legitimate. Even the papacy openly questioned its legitimacy in 1937, quite before Hitler became truly obnoxious. Therefore, the issue is rather about laws that are enforceable. If the law is really enforceable, you may indeed want to refrain from breaking it. Otherwise, it is your own call.
- jacquesm 11y agoI've seen a couple of people that tried to put thoughts such as these into practice. Personally I think this is a very dangerous course of action and given how they ended up I feel that my position is backed by some hard to refute evidence. What you believe should be right is of little or no importance if that conflicts with the law of the land. There are vast fortunes to be made for those that manage to successfully challenge the law but most - not all - ordinary businesses are not set up for that purpose.

- nickpsecurity 11y agoThere's a lot of people in U.S. prisons or graveyards who acted on your perspective. Feel free to try. The likely outcome is courts handing down a judgment. After you resist, they send regular cops that you'll probably shoot given Hitler references. The next round will look like the Waco videos on YouTube except you probably have less guns and soldiers. Not to mention cops get extremely, rightly aggressive once you've started killing them. It will be over much more quickly esp given all the military hardware our cops have these days. The above scenario played out many times ranging from tax dodgers to drug dealers to land grabs. My money is on them is you follow that foolish philosophy.
