Legality is to do with punishment. There are many things which I may not agree with 'morally' for whatever reason but by the same token I do not by any means believe people should be punished for those things, provided they do not hurt another person. E.g I've been vegetarian for 20+ years, and I strongly disagree with excessive consumption of meat on moral grounds, but I don't think anyone should be punished for eating meat.

This was originally posted several years before he became well known. I suppose there’s actually a chance he saw it at some point, but I didn’t post it with him in mind though

This is why I call them the Geneva checklist, after all who's to judge me if there is no one left? History will but at least I'll have a damned interesting chapter, we shall start with things to do with corpses and shall move on to generally frowned apon munitions. It ain't moral, it ain't legal, but it'll make damned fine Sabaton song.

I feel like I was going to make a point but forgot damned quickly. Fuck it back to Total Warhammer 3.
