even if I’m not financially impacted, I still care if someone steals my package. I think anyone would. It’s a hassle to get the merchant to rectify the situation, and sometimes that isn’t possible if the item was limited or sold out. That doesn’t even get to situations where someone really needs their package timely, like medication.
Looting from big box stores doesn’t bother me, but it’s not as harmless to take things from regular people’s doorsteps even if they might be made whole after arguing with customer support.
The two aren't mutually exclusive. Petty theft is bad, but it's a fraction of wage theft, which is a fraction of the surplus value/rent. This type of media is fucked because it ultimately promotes policies of over-policing and harsher sentences than the more harmful forms of theft.
