Look, hate all you want on commercial advertising,^[1] but if you think that there’s no productive economic function served by alerting me — alerting me through social media advertising, on Zuckerworld, no less — to the fact that I can easily get HEB to ship me this in Alabama from their online store, then I’m sorry, you’re wrong about that. You have no idea how much happier this made my morning.

1. ^[1]No, really, it’s fine, go ahead. There’s been no more thoroughly and utterly mainstream a pastime in American intellectual life for the last 70-odd years; don’t worry, you’re on pretty safe ground here.↩

The people who sheltered Jews in hidden rooms and attics and basements during the Holocaust were breaking the law. The people who smuggled 7,000 Jews out of Denmark were breaking the law. Schindler was breaking the law. The Underground Railroad broke the law. Harriet Tubman broke the law. MLK broke the law. Hell, the fucking Boston Tea Party broke the law.

If saving friends and family of innocent people is breaking the law, break the law. If standing up for truth and justice is breaking the law, break the law.

The law is unjust. The law is morally wrong. Break the fucking law.
