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.

Alt-Text:
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

Did you miss this bit?

All cops. Not all former cops.

I’d rather go with:
OP’s brother is not his occupation. He wasn’t born a cop, so let’s not objectify him as one. Who knows how he ended up with this job and how easy it would be to get him to quit. I have no problem with OP loving his brother, and he can hope/want/urge his brother to change his occupation.

I’d prefer not to go with:
OP is a cop-loving bastard sympathizer.

I can tell you're coming from a good place with this and wanted to be supportive of me! It's very kind, but unfortunately I think it's misplaced.

My brother almost certainly won't change- pretty sure he voted for trump twice, and he's been climbing the ranks over the past decade. I genuinely don't have any moral/ethical justification for keeping him in my life 😬
