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

Is this true?
Yes, especially for authority based anxiety. Mayve literally tasting the maybe literal fruits of exploiting the blind spots and weaknesses of a system like, for example, wal mart and all the law enforcement infrastructure supposedly at its command, can make that empowerment very physically viscerally real. Feeling the glass shatter under your whatever and knowing you did that is hard not to feel and remember.
If you dont fight back, you are sick. Literally not mentally well.
I can't tell if this is just a joke, but Yep! Depending on the person and circumstances ofc. It can be very empowering and liberating
For me, it helped me not worry about how I'm perceived by others; to feel like I have some level of control over my life, and a voice in my community; to kill the cop in my head and allow me to live authentically; to confront/challenge authority with courage; to trust myself and have confidence
Not a joke, I was actually curious if this is a real/evidence based statement or just something that sounds right.
I agree with the sentiment, just wasn't sure if this original post was a joke or something being said in earnest.
Ah okay that makes sense lol. Well to directly answer that part- I've used it with multiple clients with great success, and I actually put a more polished version of the image on my PsychologyToday profile, but also it's mostly just supposed to be funny lol
Oh cool. This seems really valid to me, but it's always extra important to be skeptical about things that you want to be true. I'm really glad to hear this has been successful for you.
I've been seeing your posts around a lot lately. Thanks for the quality content!
