    Yes, because my support for bank robbery is uncritical as long as the teller is unharmed

      The bank teller assisted in propping up an authoritarian system.

        Good joke bad take (if in earnest)

        Serious posting:

        Tellers are as “complicit” in the authoritarian system as a McDonald’s clerk is in animal exploitation. We can’t hold these people responsible for the evils of their industry - they are comrades who are exploited by these industries as well as wage workers.

    It is kinda weird. You gotta say it to the robbers discretely, otherwise the other bystanders will start complaining about tankies.

      Getting shot unstrategically in a hostage situation because you’re outed as a tankie because you yelled your support for the robbers.

    Not at all! But when the police come by, you should say ‘I invoke my 5th amendment right to remain silent.’ (assuming you’re in America) Then stop speaking entirely.

      ‘I invoke my 5th amendment right to remain silent.’

      For people who don’t know, it is extremely important to say that phrase, the way laws are currently interpreted you do not have your 5th amendment rights until you invoke them. If you want a lawyer say that first! Anything said after invoking the 5th nullififes it.

          Several of my lawyer friends have commented that it is like learning magic. Say the right arcane phrase and (legal) reality shifts.

    I’d recommend a quiet arm-raise as opposed to a spontaneous yell.
