A crude drawing of a girl wearing a ski mask and holding a cartoonish bomb.
Labeled: illegalist gf
Text blocks surround her which read:
“laws aren’t real, silly.”
“a relationship is too formal of an organization; how about an affinity couple.”
only watches pirated movies.
“let’s have a slumber party; we can paint our nails and make bombs.”
she embrace you like she embrace criminality.
“can I borrow your pressure cooker?”
loves you almost as much as she hates cops
"I- I stole you that book you wanted, anon…
she cute, but also… she loot.
“galleani did nothing wrong”
The people you personally interact with in your specific social context in one city in the US are not representative of the country as a whole.

The killing was not popular and if anarchists were associated with it, it would only make them even more unpopular than they already are.
‘Acceptable’ and ‘unacceptable’ also much narrower criteria. A lot of the people i talk to saying ‘i dobt like murder but i understand it/dont hold it against him’ might say ‘unacceptable.’
And not everyone everywhere is going to be sympathetic. Thats fine. If the people of bootlick arkansas want to die in chains, that is their perogative.
I’m not generally for or against, just pointing out that it works sometimes and does spark dialogue. Even if its more complicated than ‘do crime be popular’.
Oh, also, should be noted: people lie about their values and preferences. Especially around violence.
Not like maliciously, just bevause that’s what you say. Especially in a public context-like a poll.
And plenty don’t actually know what they believe/believe in nothing re: abstract principles.
Nobody likes war for war’s sake, but plenty of people have never seen a war they didnt like.
So im not sure a lot of people really can answer the question polled with any honesty.
