      Hahaha! I know. "have him dumpster dive" is also in there, lmao. And they really only seem upset because they pay for their own groceries.

      Like, just have him steal for you, love. Get some free cheetos, treat yourself.

      i mean, ACAB and all, but like, it's still wrong to steal from Walmart or do graffiti, I just want the cops to be nice about it, you know?

        im sorry that black people hate cops and it’s not because they like stealing? In fact, yeah, it would be nicer if the cops didn’t treat them like criminals?

        stealing from walmart isn’t wrong, doing graffiti on private property is not wrong. But the general concept of stealing? It’s not a virtue and it’s not a fundamental leftist position. Stealing from your fellow man, whose class and financial position you nothing about is not right.

    There was a rebuttal to her original answer down in there tepidly defending shoplifting and this was Prudie's reply:

    OK, this is fair. But let’s not pretend “stealing food I can actually afford” is breaking society’s unfair rules in the way that something like offering food and water to people in line to vote in Georgia would be.

      :data-laughing: I didn't see that one. Just do both. Steal food and give it to people. Everyone wins. These losers will means test anything.

        Free day old sandwiches for voters that wait for more than 4 hours in the line for the ballot box in impoverished neighborhoods.
