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.
Guidelines
- Be sure to follow the Anarchist Code of Conduct
- Probably try not to incriminate yourself (or others)
- No planning or calls for specific actions
- Make your own debate post if you want to debate the efficacy or ethics of illegalism
- Please consider providing alt texts for images
Rules
- No Lame-Os

Here in Statesia we built "rest stops" on the side of the Interstate were you could stay overnight but have to move on. They're wonderful on a 5-day roadtrip, but if you have to live in your car, they're a reliable toilet, maybe water and one night's decent sleep i guess? I don't know, I've never thought about it in depth. They always seem too far from civilization here to be any use to the unhoused.
having been homeless, yeah rest stops basically only exist to make getting from one unwelcoming town with a gas station to another a little more comfortable for people with somewhere to be. we have built our hatred of the nomadic cultures of north america into our hatred of the poor. or more accurately, we hate the poor and then define the poor by the qualities we seek to enforce. because the thing to understand is that the people whose land we stole and the people who we stole from their land to make this country weren't poor until the aristocracy redefined them as being poor
Well put. The indigenous people in America were anything but "poor".
If we go a little further south and look at the Aztec, they were basically the wealthiest nation in the world at the time. Even by European standards. Reading primary sources from the first Europeans encountering them makes this really clear.
The US government not only redefined the indigenous people as poor, but fucked their material conditions to the point where redefinition was no longer necessary.
