Illegalism ≠ amoralism (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Alt-Text:
Luigi Mangione, with his head tilted to the side, compressed lips, and a furrowed brow, looking away from text which reads: "Killing innocent people for the sake of breaking the law."
Luigi Mangione, with raised brows and an approving frown (like the Obama "not bad" expression), looking at text which reads: "killing certified badguys in blatant disregard for the law."


This distinction is a lil frustrating for me because I just so happen to also be an amoralist, but it's not inherent to illegalism

I loved this comment by @FundMECFS@lemmy.dbzer0.com

We can think breaking laws in general is good because it makes these useless laws harder to enforce if a lot of people break them. Ie. its a form of resistance against the state.

But [we can] also be staunchly against terrible things like random killings and sexual assault.

One doesn’t entail the other.

Illegalism is an anarchist philosophy which embraces criminality as a lifestyle. It's the second part of the renowned and enlightened charter: "Be Gay, Do Crime"

This is a place for exchanging tricks & experiences, discussing trends & events, sharing shitposts, and connecting criminality to theory & praxis.
