Shoplifting food? Yea probably struggling, I’m not saying shit.
Shoplifting PS5 games? Yeaaaaa you’re probably just an asshole.
Stealing ps5 games to be sold and buy food? Maximum ethicality.
Remember, if a video game studio closes, no one would feel their presence missing. If food companies start closing? We’d literally starve!
Pretty sure the people employed by the video game studio would notice.
I have never once met a shoplifter who was struggling or actually needed what they stole, ever. Most shoplifters I’ve met were kids from well-off families who felt entitled to anything they could get their hands on.
I literally used to steal to eat because I was that fucking poor.
There, now you have.
He hasn’t met you.
I am the richest man on the planet. You haven’t met the richest man on the planet.
Anyone can claim anything on the internet, it would take the most gullible of people to believe everything they read. It’s weird that you expect him to be gullible.
There’s a 1 in 7 billion chance that you’re the richest mans on the internet.
25% of Americans will experience food insecurity this year.
I don’t trust you because I don’t trust you’re 1 in 7 billion, I trust them because I trust that if they’re not within the like 1/2 who have experienced food insecurity at some point in their lives, another lurker or two might be
If that was true we wouldn’t see an increase in shoplifting when poverty rises
Because correlation always equals causation.
Also depends on where and what. Kids I grew up around stole random crap from Forever 21 for fun. Grew up, met people who stole to fuel a drug addiction, like at big box stores with a bit more relaxed security. Then there’s commenters here who sound like they just take things they need.
It really depends, but the one that sticks out to me is the kid who stole Pokemon cards from a place my wife retailed. That kid was just a straight entitled POS psychopath. Really, really takes all kinds.
And we all know what you see is everything that happens. Anecdotes are the best evidence
I feel like that says more about your social circle than about shoplifters, who are a pretty diverse group of people with really varying motivations for their actions.
Most shoplifters I’ve met were kids […] who felt entitled to anything they could get their hands on.

btw this was done by an artist named TheREALFlyDog who is currently fundraising for their medical needs. check out their linktree
Maybe he should follow his advice and shoplift some medical treatment.
I would if I could too
Humans have a right to affordable medical care

Yeah no. Not going to encourage or enable a society of looters. If we are looking for justice let’s start eating the super rich.
Let’s see you eat the rich first, then you can feel free to rat on the poor.
Retailers would be a good start then…

As long as it’s from extremely wealthy companies that engage in wage theft and union busting cough cough WALMART cough, and not from small local places that would let you pay them a week later if they knew you.
