I have legit thrown down with shoplifters I might be a wagie but I at least have my pride and honour
Damn, bro, I'm sure :porky-happy: will notice you for saving him some paltry change. What's that? You're not doing it for him? You're potentially risking your life for some arbitrary sense of honor (likely instilled into you at a young age), despite most companies enforcing a "no heroes" policy? Shit.
I've seen this meme in particular ruffle feathers, especially in the kinds of spaces that repost fucking Stonetoss comics and transphobic fearmongering, occasionally spilling into outright fascist accounts. Similarly, they also decry the trend of "landlord hate". It makes the role of reactionary politics in bourgeois society so transparent.
That's just the capitalist stealing money from me then lol.
Capitalists won't keep the store open if it didn't earn them profits, they do take shoplifting and fraud into account.
