I downvoted this because I think it’s valuable for the EA community to have a public, credible norm against violating people’s legally recognized rights. Destroying property does this, so we wouldn’t be a very trustworthy community if we endorsed such behavior.
So the destruction of property we can come out against, but what about other civil disobedience/arguably illegal actions? For instance, every example given in my post minus Ruby & Jessica’s actions. To add another example to that list, the truancy currently being practiced by an increasing number of children throughout the world until we achieve better climate policy.
