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.
Guidelines
- Be sure to follow the Anarchist Code of Conduct
- Probably try not to incriminate yourself (or others)
- No planning or calls for specific actions
- Make your own debate post if you want to debate the efficacy or ethics of illegalism
- Please consider providing alt texts for images
Rules
- No Lame-Os

just fucking move. I left the UK because they are funding a dragnet survailance operation worldwide, and I'm doing good.
Native born americans are at a severe disadvantage moving anywhere else in the world. If you're a UK citizen you can hop on a plane and have full rights on any corner of the earth. But I'm exploring possible avenues in case things get really bad here. I'm still crossing my fingers that Trump bites it from natural causes and the subsequently maga movement collapses in upon itself.
Leaving the country, for a trip or whatever, isn’t too hard if you already have a passport. Moving out permanently and living in another country is much harder and more expensive. Prohibitively so, for the vast majority of Americans.
And, just for fun, if you pull it off, the US still expects you to pay taxes to both it and your new country of residence
only if you earn really high salary. Like much over 100k
Ah gotcha, I didn’t know that!
But not if you are an American freelancer. In which case you're fucked by both countries
How expensive do you think a passport is?
It’s been a few years since I got mine… maybe a hundred dollars? A bit more? I remember being more distressed about having to mail away my physical birth certificate than the cost
EDIT: according to the State Department website, it’s $165 for an adult for the book
