You're right, there's no harm to complying in advance. Let's do it!
There literally isn't.
complying in advance is incredibly dangerous
How so?

bottom line: compliance to fascism before it's forced you to comply is how fascism goes from visible in the public sphere to all consuming slaughter machine. the best way to resist fascism is early and often. make them work for it. especially when the current iteration is fundamentally composed of lazy losers
Its irrational radicals like you who are undermining the resistance effort
Just pick up a severe eating disorder, donate all your money to the heritage foundation, and play a round of Russian roulette every night. Spin that cylinder! For the resistance!
Fucking insane children trying yo undermine real, serious adult resistance. I swear if the fascists win it will be all your fault.
took me longer than i would have liked to realize you were joking 😂
we live in a nightmare…
You know, considering your liberal allies ajoke rather than getting serious and supporting us and killing yourself in a blood sacrifice to the fuhrer is why you people can't possibly win
This is not even remotely the same thing. This article is talking about doing something that you are asked to do by fascists or anticipate being illegal. The situation we're discussing is literally already signed law and it's simply a matter of (a very specific) time before it's mandated.
I'm gonna state a new law, it needs you to rip one of your nails off and send it for age verification so you better start ripping it off
Huh?
