It's not my positions. It is those of every poseiq actually quoted on
list. That's how halakhah is done, right? If you want to say there is no
rishon giving such an issur, that's interesting theory. I wouldn't buy
into it given that it assumes believing RZS knows how to read rishonim
better than a large number of rashei yeshiva. But okay. But if you are
making a claim about a pesaq, that no such issur actually exists, and
others quote posqim who do give such a pesaq, don't you too need a bar
pelugta, a poseiq who actually posits the shitah you're advocating?

You fail to do so. You even fail to argue your theoretical (non-lemaaseh)
claim. Just positing it repeatedly. I quote Rashi saying X, you say Rashi
doesn't say X, and ignore the quote. Not interpret it differently than
RMJB and RHS did, just positing your conclusion. You give me nothing
to debate.

So lemasseh, the two PDF articles on line are typical of contemporary
pesaqim who say it's prohibited to violate some subset of civil law.
Whether it's financial law, any law made by a non-Israeli or non-Jewish
gov't, any law that fulfils their 7 mitzvos benei noach duties, or that
provides peace, or any law that doesn't violate halakhah... That's the
space of the machloqes, not whether or not the issur altogether exists.

Tir'u baTov!
