    I’ll pose an interesting question:

    is it more important to maintain your personal morality, or potentially break it to protect people in imminent danger?

        My personal feeling on the matter is that if someone is in imminent danger of death, and did no action by which to bring it about, they are justified in very nearly any action to extricate themselves from that situation. Morally speaking. So for the trans people or immigrants who have not upset the social fabric could murder anyone who comes for them and I would just smile. Similarly, anyone would be justified in doing so on their behalf.

      It depends on your personal morality. For example, if your personal morality is that the symbolism of a vote is worth any number of murdered minorities, I’m gonna go ahead and say that maintaining that personal morality at the expense of literal millions of people is not just bad, but fucking horrific, and not much better than the literal Nazis they’re enabling.
