   any decent person is a criminal in some way, so it's best to just own it.

   crime is good. do crimes

      if we insist that we're not criminals, think about what we're saying

      we're upholding the idea of crime as a bad thing, and upholding the power of the state in othering an entire class of people as "criminals" that have fewer rights than we do

      we can either be shitty and try to save ourselves from inevitably being labelled as criminals, or we can fight to get rid of this negative idea and own up to it, show people how good supposed "criminals" can be

         remember, the law doesn't justly and equally apply to the lawmen, the politicians and the police, the corporations and the rich.

         and they are the people that need considerations for working outside the law the least.

            once you start questioning ideas like "is crime really bad? is crime a fake idea used to uphold the state and undermine dissent against this oppressive regime?" then you start having to look at individual "Crimes" with your own morals and judging them as such. and asking your friends for opinions and experiences that might shape your views.

            and that's a much better way to reach conclusions than simply accepting what you're told.
