    I know this is a privacy sub but I say bring it on, I’m tired of people shoplifting and thinking it’s ok. Food is one thing but I was in the cosmetics aisle at Walmart a few days ago and counted at least 7 security tags that had been ripped off of press on nails. If you are lifting food, formula, diapers, that’s one thing but if you aren’t doing it to survive then fuck you for making everything more expensive for the rest of us.

      What are you on about? The entire capitalist system is based on theft from the workers. To even be a capitalist means you gave someone less than the value they produced during the time they worked.

      If they didn’t want us taking back what’s rightfully ours then they shouldn’t have stolen from us in the first place.

      Why do people keep defending the parasites?

        You’re incredibly naive if you think stealing from our corporate overlords will force change in any significant way other than driving consumer cost up as they socialize their losses.

        There’s right and wrong. Stealing is wrong. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out.

        If you really cared about the workers you wouldn’t steal their products.

      If you are stealing to survive its much more realistic to focus on higher value products you can resell for cash than to try stealing the specific things you need. It’s both more efficient and less likely to get you caught.

      I agree.

      Also DA who don’t prosecute petty theft.

      I have no idea who would downvote you or why.

      Theft creates conditions that encourage the publicizing of personal data. It is an anti-pattern to privacy.
