    Jfc what all activism and no theory does to a mf. Stop stanning criminals. These aren’t poor people stealing bread to survive.

      Stop stanning criminals.

      the wealthy call their violence law and the violence of the workers they call crime :stirner-cool:

      (I didn't watch the video and have no context, I just felt compelled to say this)

          Yes the guy in the Lexus really has it rough. He’s struggling to survive.

          Literally reactionary propaganda regurgitated from a reactionary youtube video. Theres very few career burglars/thieves that can afford a lexus/are "well off." And many career criminals are more or less barred from "legitimate work" usually due to having a record.

          No reason to praise them, no real reason support their further subjugation either

            the paper I could find on it indicate that package thieves are disproportionately middle class, thus are just opportunist pigs making other people’s lives harder for marginal gain

              would be awful if you linked the paper so i could rip it apart. "criminology" "studies" are 100% whack. also

              middle class,

              doesnt have a marxist definition so i have no way of knowing what you or the study mean by this rn

                oh yeah. I fucking hate cops and criminology is a close second. But everything I’ve seen and read lines up with it being a crime of opportunity for scum people.

                doesnt have a marxist definition

                Sure but there are other frameworks through which to engage with the world. It doesn’t make them inherently correct or more right but just as a way to discuss things

          I was speaking in generalities. If you want to talk about petty theft in contrast to labor or wage theft, and who is looked down on, well there's no better place. The video is disingenuous as it plants items of luxury and provokes theft for the content. This isn't also to say theft is fine, I've had my car broken into in my personal life with sentimental values stolen. But at the end of the day, I'm not truly hurt by it.
