    It’s hard to keep track of which crimes to fashionably ignore.

    • stealing from a neighbour?
    • stealing from a neighbour’s workplace?
    • …if that neighbour works at a store?
    • stealing from a store-owner’s shed?
    • …if it was food you were stealing?
    • what if it was something you could SELL for food? Like an xBox?
    • what if someone stole the thing you were selling for food instead of paying? That’s a dick move. But, there, YOU’RE the scumbag vendor now and that may be okay, but it may depend on who is starving more.
    • what about robbing a store owner when you go over to pick up an auction in on fb marketplace?
    • …if it’s from the office at work
    • …and it’s food

    There’s a lot of rules to exempted crime, but we should get it right so people all can agree who gets the xBox before the guns come out. We should all get electric fences now that all theft is “purge” rules.

    What of the case of the shitty teenagers around here? Like I saw someone just walk out with chocolate. That ain’t food… like fuck corporations but also fuck shitty people? I don’t know where the balance is.

      Congrats for pretending teenagers taking chocolate bars is even remotely close a concern to what corps do to people, workers and thus to teenagers at the end of the road.

      Your balance is way off if you ask me.
