    The distinction you’re trying to make is stealing luxuries vs stealing necessities. Sure, we could argue basically “fuck megacorps” and that’s debatable to steal whatever, but this is about us.

    If someone’s stealing the basic necessities like food, nobody saw shit.

    If you’re stealing a TV, that just makes you a thief.

      There’s also people stealing (even reselling) necessities like toothpaste, deodorant and laundry detergent.

        They’ll likely steal in bulk if that’s the case. If they do it over time, snitching on everyone hurts the people why are stealing for necessity. Be the good for people. Kindly, compassionately, and in a non-derogatory way let them know where they can get food, essentials, and services for free. Don’t take their dignity.

      I can steal and sell TV and not be stealing food for the next two weeks or so. While stealing food is everyday effort
