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

"Dia-bo-lical sab-o-taygee" ~Buggs Bunny
It can be something you came up with yourself or came across elsewhere- doesn't have to be from the manual!

A McDonalds advertisement featuring an unintentionally creepy, humanoid Happy Meal, holding a sign which has been edited to read "laws don't exist." Stylized caption reads "capitalism is failing. Steal from your job. Make art and buy ammo. All mainstream media is political propaganda.

Caption reads "LPT: Keep fart spray and a tear stick in your bag. You can get away with anything when you're crying because you shit your pants." Image is the "Roll Safe" meme featuring a man tapping his head and smiling, but has been edited to be crying. Beside him are a spray bottle of "liquid ass" and a tear stick.
(A tear stick has menthol and camphor in it and bad actors put it under their eyes to make them cry)

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 @[email protected]
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.

A 3-panel comic by ADHDinos featuring a nondescript long-neck dinosaur and a living brain. The first panel is edited to read "Can we do the right thing?" the dino asks. "Not without consequences", the brain responds. "Yeah that was not the question", states the dino, who has been edited to wear a black bandana and hold a Molotov cocktail.

A young white man who looks like he could be a cop, with hands on his hips, looking down with an expressive face of lighthearted judgment. Looking up at him is a silly dog with an equally expressive face of ironic bashfulness. Over-layed text reads: "When two antisocials on opposite sides of the legal system interact"
Yeah, "All Cops" means all cops, including my brother, but I still love him

A quote in a cute cursive font with a pink back-splash over-layed atop a community empowerment stock photo with 11 pairs of hands holding a hoola-hoop.
The text reads: "Walmart loses $3B to theft each year, and if we all pitch in to help, we can get that number a lot higher this year"
