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.

    Knew someone who got stabbed for attempting to stop a shoplifter

    Not that I want these house-broken libs stabbed but some people don’t fuck around, it’s not worth it :shrug-outta-hecks: ___

      i think people who are so enthusiastic to be cops they don't even gotta be paid and on the union should get stabbed actually

      Imagine risking confrontation, let alone harm, out of fear the Walton family might be deprived of 50c of profits? Not me I would never.
