If it's food, I'm sergeant fucking Schultz. Basic necessities, same thing.
But there is a limit where I'm going to let the person know they've been seen and ask them politely to fuck off so I don't have to say anything to anyone else. It isn't about what the item/s is/are, it's about the degree of things. It isn't about the monetary value either, I'm fine with "liberating" luxury goods. But even there, there's a point where someone stealing isn't just doing it to handle business, they're fucking over people for profits, and that's the same kind of shit that makes me be blind to more controlled theft for personal use.
Yeah, there's a shit ton of contradiction in that. Don't care. There's still a line where theft becomes a problem, regardless of the size of the "company" doing the theft. Once things go from robbing a company to get through life and making it your job, you're just as fucked up as the company you're stealing from.
Thats a bold statement. Its pretty hard to do wage theft, disregard work place safety, dodge taxes in the billions, spy on your employees, etc as a (professional) thief.
Also someone mentioned stealing baby formula in this thread. Stealing it does not make you as bad as Nestle, one of the biggest producers of baby formula.
If you're just stealing it to resell? Maybe not as bad as nestle because that's hard to achieve, but it's still profiting off of someone else's labor.
Stealing /anything/ from Nestlé is doing a good service to the world. Doesn’t matter if you use it, resell it, or just trash it.
Stealing a Nestlé something from a shop is a bit complicated but you could say fuck that shop for having Nestlé in their supply chain. If a shop has enough stock “shrinkage” in #Nestlé products, it could drive a good outcome: stock discontinuance.
