      Would drunkenly vandalizing private property of that belongs to people you disagree with for the sake of destruction rather than financial gain be immoral?

              Indeed it does. One can think of themselves as “not a criminal” if they define “criminal” as one convicted of a crime. Others break laws but without a record consider themselves to not be “criminal”. And some really do their damndest to obey the laws. I’m just curious as to what your experience with criminality, particularly theft and destruction of property while under the influence is. If you’ve genuinely never engaged in criminality than I’d say you’re speculating on what drives/motivates criminal behavior from an outside perspective. If you’re someone who recognizes that one can be a criminal without a conviction and you yourself engage in such behavior but have never been caught, you bring a personal perspective.
