    and no we will not interrogate what leads them to stealing food. material conditions? what’s that?

    Some people are just assholes. They can be in the same general situation as you, but not respect boundaries, and in the absence of consequence they’ll be downright sociopathic.

    Anyone generalizing from those assholes to absolutely everyone is not being serious. But that’s not an excuse to ignore those exceptions and insist absolutely everyone is reasonable.

      Sure but desperation creates assholes.

      When I was broke I kept money out of a wallet I found. I wouldn’t do that now and I’ve returned and given away much more because I can.

        Some assholes are rich.

        Psychopathy is a thing and touches a sizeable part of the population. It is unwise to dismiss their existence.

          Yeah my point was anybody can be made into an asshole, depending on circumstances. A rich AH would be crafted by their upbringing, conditioned to never think about other people’s needs.
