Yes it is still me, the one in the post still in the high ranking of anarchism of values ​​(if you are interested, look for it as well) and yes the title is a way to attract attention and play down the topic.

As usual, I will start by asking you a question or a topic in a superficial way and then deepen with time and participation.

So, the introductory question is: what is a criminal for you? and what does crime mean?
Please answer without looking through the mask of the law, I answer them according to your vision.

Personally speaking, crime for me is not abiding to your own values or beliefs in life.. for example, I like food a lot but Im quite frugal, whenever I spend too much on a certain stuff I feel like doing a crime but for some reason... That feeling does not apply when I buy food especially for myself so yeah Im a criminal in my own beliefs *sigh*

Frickin thread didn't have capitalization on the title boils me, you surely knew what you're doing Cap'n. Oh well.

For me, criminal is someone who tramples on another individual's rights or freedom's. Crime is an action committed by criminals to achieve their goal by trampling on someone else.

There must be loopholes in my sentence, and I've never been good with critical thinking like this. But I'm interested how you'd connect popcorn with crimes, keep them replies coming in.

>>3 lol yeah. The title looks like a troll clickbait. At first I was like "I'm gonna end this guy's life" then became "Oh, that was a good thing to discuss"

seen? I got your attention! even if I risked big, ups :)

Popcorn, in reality, is not connected to the classic conception of criminals, let's say the stereotype of the criminal. Rather, they are connected to a type of criminal who goes unnoticed.
But let me explain.

The criminal is shown in the face of the people who humiliate him, mock him and judge him without even knowing who he really is or his story. Once mocked it is used by the state to improve its "eye fortresses". (by criminal I don't mean the guy who steals the shops, those are more bored). however, I put 3 types of criminals in front of you: the real culprit, the "civilians" and the state. here there are 3 types of criminals and three different types of crimes that go beyond the vision of morals and the law

Popcorn serves the spectators of these scenarios, that is, people who judge those who pass for criminals from outside, without knowing the reasons why the criminal has committed the crime

Bump

>>5>>6 These texts went over my head, excuse me I need time lmao

Crime is a social construct. It's been that way ever since. The norms of the past is a crime in the present; and the norms of today will be considered a crime in the future.

>>9 exactly! But Does this mean that we are all guilty? answer well;)

Bump

>>9 that's some nice thought on it. I wonder what normal stuff we do today will become crimes in the future...

Yeah and If things that are normal today become crimes in the future, what would you do?

>>10 Guilt is another construct, either the whole world is guilty, or no one is. None of us are guilty of anything, nor will we be in the future, as long as we look at things from a certain perspective. Try thinking of a single example where you can point at something and say "This is the cause of it all, this is the one/thing that is ultimately, definitevely guilty." I daresay it's impossible. It is a matter of how one wishes to perceive reality.
>>13 I would consider the entity that deemed these 'normal' things criminal, and see if I can find the logic, the reasoning behind its decision. If the entity is questionable, and/or the reasoning is not solely done with the idea of bettering the world in mind, I would try to rebel against it, bring about changes.
Except if the sudden deeming of those specific acts as criminal doesn't affect me in the slightest, I guess. Then I'd probably live on and not give a damn. I'm selfish like that. (if the consequences of the new 'laws' are of certain/huge proportions, that's a different case, of course)

if things that are normal today becomes a crime tomorrow I guess I'll become a criminal

>>10 In a way, I guess we all are lol. I mean, back then freedom of speech was considered a crime and now that we have been given that freedom, some countries/communities are starting to consider it as a crime under "terrorism" or "bullying". I don't know man, everyone's become meek and earth is starting to look like a clown world.

I totally agree. Also, I suppose the term crime is a purely subjective thing, isn't it?

I believe so. But of course, we shouldn't downplay its significance. You can have your own principles and follow what you believe but we should also abide by established laws for the sake of others.. or else, society will fall lol

well, if the society fall, I don't think it's bad

>>20 Since no one did, let me ask. Why do you think it won't be bad if the society falls?

My answer would be 154 posts long, exactly like one of my previous discussions had here: anarchism of values, here is where to go to read

And anyway it wouldn't be bad since there is a smell of change and imbalance in the air, personally I think the time has come for a change.

But if you want a complete answer, go to read my first thread! :)

>>22 Alright. Sure.
