There are plenty of organised crime syndicates who live outside of society. They sometimes get caught by law enforcement and sometimes they get caught by rival gangs.
I didn’t say you can live outside of society peacefully in such a way that everyone will just leave you alone but a life of crime is a choice available to everyone.
- soulofmischief 3y agoThis is a naive perspective. The reality is it's not available, but gets forced upon entire classes of people as the only viable option, and leads to a lifetime of economic and emotional struggle.

People for whom the system offers no advantages are far more likely to make that choice. My original point is that the current state of the law is not some grand moral absolute, it’s just how things happen to have worked out based on a bunch of decisions made by a bunch of people. You can choose how to react to that up to and including breaking the law. The degree to which you do that can determine your consequences. Also sometimes the bear eats you and you’re just unlucky.
