Oh hi Korhaka’s new account, this discussion has already been had and you embarrassed yourself there too. Complaining about luxury thefts on a story about some bacon.
Let’s end this argument by you telling us where your line is on what people are allowed to steal to survive. Because that’s all this argument is about.
Where I live its always luxuries that people steal, like fancy wines. If someone is stealing bread or vegetables that is actual food.
What is the endgame if we just let everyone steal everything? A lot of theft here is done by gangs to resell for profit and I am absolutely not OK with encouraging that kind of behaviour.
Oh no, they’re stealing a variety of things instead of subsistence living! How dreadful and awful! Let’s blame them for not just taking beans and rice instead of a corrupt system that forces this to happen!
Seriously, fuck your mentality. It’s the same as those reactionaries who parrot “well eat beans and rice!” when people are on hard times.
If you see someone shoplifting… No you didn’t.
Yeah I am sure they really need that £40 jar of honey, bottle of fancy wine and the finest steaks…
I don’t see people stealing potatoes, but I see quite a few stealing the expensive stuff.
Okay. Who gives a shit. The corp can afford it.

The danger is the same, so you may as well treat yourself.
I would rather not live in a society full of rampant theft.
I’d rather not live in a society where theft is necessary to survive
I agree with that. But stealing luxury products? That isn’t necessary to survive.

And do those viscious thugs stealing jars of artisanal honey happen to include a tiger, a small pig, and a yellow bear who wears a red shirt?
Talk to billionaires first.
Yet you do, from the top to the bottom. Don’t see you bitching about that, just poor people.
Didn’t you read?? People were stealing organic avocados and fresh multi grain toast, not gruel and powdered milk.
Edit. Apparently it wasn’t clear that this was sarcasm.

My comment was actually just sarcasm, which apparently didn’t translate well.
There is a way to distinguish that easily online.
If you’re already set on stealing please explain why you wouldn’t steal nicer things?
Because in this person’s fucked up mind, you should only still subsistence items because you’re poor and don’t deserve better.
Then tell all the corpos to stop it.
Welcome to capitalism!
So what are you doing to advocate for higher wages, universal healthcare, free education?
Well I live in the UK so we got that already
So in other words your personal anectode is completely worthless in a discussion about US shoplifting. Thanks, gtfo.
Maybe the higher wages has something to do with the discrepancy, innit? Fucking wanker.
And yet you’re ignoring the rampant theft.
