Theft is generally viewed as bad, but yeah, there are exceptions. Same thing with violence. The exceptions aren't going to be what people first think of when they hear a story about stealing, especially if it's "I'm shoplifting for political reasons, not need."
The point is that theft is not viewed universally as bad and if you frame it the right way people can understand where you're coming from rather than necessarily ending up at the thought-terminating cliche "theft is bad"
Robin Hood?
