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

It can be something you came up with yourself or came across elsewhere- doesn't have to be from the manual!
I think mine is spark plug shards and a rubber band/slingshot for breaking windows. I've been wanting to experiment with putting appropriately sized/shaped pieces in an airsoft/BB gun ๐
(I almost started this comment with "idk if this counts, but", but then I remembered that this is my own post)
The first time I saw the spark plug shard thing I could not believe it. That shard was so ridiculously small that the guy had trouble to throw it.
NYC bike messengers pocket spark plugs for a reason. โ๐ผ
valve stem removal, rainbow sharpies for American flag stickers
ooh any good resources on the valve stem thing?
I'm curious how easy it is

Remove valve stem cap. Insert bit. Press rotate button. Replace cap. Walk away.
Seriously though, you can even get one of these:
Some people promote using a simple green/ brown lentil, and just jamming it in there. I've never done that, but I can promise you simple unscrew the valve stem a bit, and that will do the job, with no real damage done.
oh I didn't realize you could just unscrew the middle part. I was aware of the lentil trick, but with a metal BB instead.
ETA: with the BB, superglue it to the inside of the valve stem cover so, if they don't check, after they fill the tire and replace the stem cap it will just depress the needle again and the tire will deflate.
Yeah the valve stem is replaceable. Screws right out. You don't even need to fully remove it. Just a couple turns and it starts leaking air, much faster and a bit (its still pretty loud) quieter than if you just push it in.
If you are really in a hurry and need a more permanent solution, I would just recommend using these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/316323279030?var=0&toolid=10029&customid=364973558327772330&loc_interest_ms=&loc_physical_ms=71436
Hell yeah. I got kicked out of an "ICE defense" signal chat for bringing up valve stem removal lmao
They have little USB rechargeable screw drivers now that can go on your key chain. Just keep the right bit with the driver ๐
Whoa, cool!

LOIC/HOIC. Remember when those were all up in the news? I think that fell out of favor when the FBI blackmailed Sabu and infiltrated and entrapped Anonymous, but it's due for a come-back.
it fell out of favor because it broadcasts your home ip address
