Hi braden, I've had a day or so to think about this further and I would like to add a few things.
The path of resistance to the System is an ethical minefield. I rejected the system long ago, yet I have to live in it and fit in an some uneasy manner with it. In rejecting the system, I rejected the moral authority of the system. I recognize the threat, backed up by guns and police and the Office of the Attorney General, but not what they say is right and wrong. As someone who has chosen to reject the drug laws and actively disobey them for nearly 40 years, I am a unreformed criminal.
And yet, I am an idealistic and ethical person. I have been seeking some group or association of like minded paople my whole life. I've tried religion but rejected it (though not the idea of spritual forces). I've explored the society of gangsters, organized crime, prisons and jails, criminal neighborhoods and gangs, and a biker gang. All of these I found to be rejecting society, but without good ideals, acting on pure selfishness and capable of despicable cruelty. The only group I've found which I can fully support is Family. (And, of course, my ex-wife put a stop to that, haha)
I'm highly educated (B.Sc and MBA), and I worked in my younger years for several Fortune 20 companies. It was at American Express that I first developed an enduring disgust of the corporate world and started on the path of resistance to it. Through opportunities from within, I found exploits in the sales compensation systems of American Express and AT&T. How easy it was to fall to these temptations when the victims are so monstrous!
Anyway, despite my apparently despicable morals, I have a code. I still recognize rights of ownership, just not ownership gone bonkers like we have with multinational corporations. I don't steal from individuals. I would count your boss with his small business as an individual rich guy, and he would be off limits for me.
I love fights and conflict, but I don't harm people without cause, or hurt people when they are down. I have hurt a few people unreasonably, but those occasions have been rare, and subject to a lot of reflection and in some cases making amends. But I've had some revenge that I feel no regret for whatsoever. Generally the harm I do is economic. I also use the truth to expose the lies and nature of enemies.
So, good luck!
