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.

None of my local grocery stores even have donation bins.

Walmart employees are one of the biggest groups of recipients of food stamps, yet they still have the nerve to ask me if I want to donate to feed the hungry. Motherfucker, I'm on food stamps too, do I fucking look like I can afford to feed your exploited employees?

what this will accomplish is getting donation bins removed. is this your goal?

What, so the patronizing illusion of corporate compassion is binned? Oh no. Please. Think of the children in the AI "photos". 🖕🏽

if it is like so, then why move things into it in the first place?

You do realize that the products you see in said bins are, essentially "seed money" for the tip cups the Donation Boxes actually are... Yes?

(Don't even get me started on tip culture and wage theft, just know there's a correlation here.)

The corps' all contract with whatever charity before any of that goes live. They agree on a target sum (often tiered) and launch a planned event to generate a percentage of that, hopefully more. From the community. Not through petitioning the local governing bodies, either, no. They pass those savings directly onto the customer en masse and they cherry it with a dollop of guilt. Mmm. So good.

ideally you didn't advertise what your doing so you can keep doing it

If this is done with frequency it will be noticed. You are tracked in so many ways while in major retailers, especially giant big box stores.
