Right so for the goal of fighting unjust laws, disobedience and martyrdom are a mistake. Unjust laws can’t be fought this way. They have to be fought ideologically.
This makes sense. Disobedience isn’t way to change a law. Changing a law requires other things like changing some peoples minds about the law. Disobedience is also not necessary to avoid morally sanctioning something: forced compliance doesn’t constitute a breach of your integrity or a sanction for what you consider wrong.
Martyring can be a consequence of disobedience, and martyring is just self-destructive.
So, is the moral issue not compliance or not but sanction or not? That makes sense to me.
I think can see now how you wouldn’t be morally obliged to stand up to them i.e disobey them.
