I don't approve of robbing and hurting (physically or emotionally) human beings, but stealing an imaginary object (money) from an imaginary entity (a bank or corporation) is fine by me.
I'm pretty sure that everyone would rob a bank if they thought that they could get away with it, or at least contemplate the idea because they realize that the money would be more valuable to them then it is to the bank.
The bank knows this as well, it's not about the money, it's about preserving the rules of society. If everyone robbed a bank or choose to act outside of the system in their own interests instead of preserving order, then society would collapse. Or so it is thought by people that cannot conceive of any other kind of alternative reality.
In a small way these people are submitting their own reality, and right or wrong, that earns some respect from me.
Of course it's only because it conforms to my own reality and if it caused such similar disruption, then I would feel the same way as the other systematizers- so I don't lack total sympathy. That's just life. These things happen whether I want them to or not.
