Do Evil: Steal, Lie and Scam
A forum post promotes theft, lies and fraud as revolutionary acts against a corrupt system. Explore this radical worldview.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A radical vision is put forward in which "evil" — understood as fraud, deception and lying — is presented as an act of revolution against a system perceived as corrupt.
## Evil as a form of protest
The idea put forward is that, in a system where those in power supposedly act through deception and theft, the most effective response is to adopt those same practices. It argues that fraud, deception and lying are not only defensible, but become the pillars of a lifestyle and an act of "revolution". The premise is that cowardice is the opposite of this way of acting.
## Examples of "revolutionary acts"
Within this philosophy, specific actions are mentioned such as dodging the ITV (Spain's mandatory vehicle inspection), forging documents related to regulated parking (the blue zone) or of any other kind. It also cites cheating in public exams, forging academic degrees to get jobs, and using cryptocurrencies on exchanges with no "Know Your Customer" (KYC) requirement to evade tax declarations.
