Breaking the law just to break the law isn't cool or anarchistic.
Breaking unjust laws (including laws that only protect the ruling class), on the other hand, is the coolest shit you can do.
Do drugs. Give teens beer. Steal from Walmart.

Killing someone just to break the law is not in fact cool.
Stealing from a big company just because it breaks the law is cool tho.

But that’s not the law illegalism recommends you to break. This is kinda a strawman.
The Anarchist code of conduct, which the comm is based upon does not encourage random murders lol.
This pic from the comm might help explain:

I never said it's what it recommends. Just that the OP is acting like breaking any law for the sake of breaking it is cool

I’m gonna try explain why it feels like to me you’re kind of missing the point.
Like 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 also be staunchly against terrible things like random killings and sexual assault.
One doesn’t entail the other.

Wonderfully put! I'd like to add something, but it breaks this instances rules, so I'm gonna make a meme about it instead lol

Maybe if they explained the idea better, but without knowing what the intent is, this shit reads like a teenager who just first found out about anarchy and thinks it's about pure chaos.

What does illegaism have to do with foreskin
TherapyGary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 347d
I just think it's funny, and I can't be serious in anything that I do, but I'm open to replacing that bit with a more relevant line if anyone's got any good ideas
Edit: it's not just random though btw- it's a provocative and absurdist tag line relevant to themes of personal insurrection

Anarchist code of conduct. Lol.
TherapyGary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 347d
It's an instance thing. I can see how it sounds funny to folks who don't know what anarchism is, but it's pretty standard
AmidFuror@fedia.io · -1 pts · 347d
No, it's fine. We'll just pick representatives to enforce the code and all will be good.
TherapyGary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 347d
I can see how it might sound silly if you don't know what anarchism actually is but, again, it's pretty standard stuff
Sternhammer@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 346d
The popular association of ‘anarchism’ with ‘chaos’ and that organisation is anathema to anarchists has long been a source of humour. It’s a convenient misdirection for the ruling class who are directly threatened by an idea that humans can live without, you know, rulers.

TherapyGary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 347d
The community isn't even 24hrs old yet
nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 347d
it's literally all memes
TherapyGary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 0 pts · 347d
Why are you like this?
There's a "tip/trick" post (in meme format, yes), there's a theory post, there's a "share your graffiti" post...
I'm focusing on establishing/growing the community right now. It's been up for only 25 hours.
Perhaps you could post something more along the lines of what you'd like to see

Does it include killing innocent people ?
KIKILOVE@piefed.social · 10 pts · 347d
Kill an innocent person and you will end up 20 years in prison.
Kill 100 000 people and the innocent people will vote for you

Be more specific. As is, you're describing the actions of states and madmen, not anarchists.
KIKILOVE@piefed.social · 3 pts · 347d
Innocent people are the worst. Bourgeois have the luxury of having clean conscience, because their violence is externalized by the state to the lower class and the third world
