Are they always? I've been to a game shop in my town and AFAIK they have no employees. It's just the guy who rents the building in there selling his games like he has for years. He holds events and stuff and there's a community around the shop. I don't see how there can be any tyranny if he has no employees. He doesn't even own a car. I'd consider him working class even though he owns a small business.

I think you gotta judge these things case by case. But just cause some people are hurt by something who maybe don't deserve it, doesn't mean that the whole movement is bad obviously. I think looting is good overall.
