FUCK ALL SHOPLIFTERS!!
People who defend shoplifting from stores. I had a minor debate with someone who was pridefully going on about how we should steal from stores to affect the profits of the CEO and “The Man”.
I had to inform them that stealing from stores won’t necessarily affect the payroll of the corporation. It will only harm the stores and the employees inside. Because each and every store is operating on a budget of their own and what they sell determines said budget.
So if groups of people decided to steal from that store, sapping up the budget and hurting sales, then it’s going to hurt the pay of the people working there. Making shoplifters look both like an asshole and a dumbass in one.
I don’t care if it is or isn’t. All of the Hollywood strikes should illustrate that any potential revenue would not benefit working class people, but would be funneled up to executives to pay for the coke which will get snorted off their cocks.
There are content creators who actually benefit from donations and merch sales. I do support them. I don’t think there’s any moral contradiction.
1: You clearly care if it’s justified, because you just justified it to yourself.
2: Class warfare is valid, and theft is an accepted and encouraged practice within it. They sure don’t mind doing it.
I was saying I don’t care if it is or isn’t theft, not whether it’s ethical.
I’m convinced taking money from multimillionaires is ethical. The money is better in the hands of people who need it.
