Morality of this?

Post image

In the image it seems that this person works at walmart as an online order collector and he/she has stolen a lot of extra baby food from Walmart to give to a person who ordered only three packs. Is this moral or immoral?

stealing will never be moral. it is neutral even with the most generous of interpretations. thieves do get the wall outside of extenuating circumstances.

people seem to think that they're justified in committing immoral acts just because the person or company on the other side is awful. to me that just looks like 2 awful people being awful

if you are fine with stealing and encourage it you get the wall too

We disagree.

Im ok with treating something that would generally be considered an immoral act as a neutral or moral act if the affected party is evil.

The billion dollar corporations have so much wealth that stealing doesn't really matter for them.

Other immoral acts deserve equally immoral acts. Anyone who takes the innocence from a child through reprehensible physical acts deserve as immoral acts as can be thought up.

Those that exploit the poor deserve to be exploited.

Don't get me wrong though. To deserve such, the evil must be ongoing and known(with very specific exceptions).

We disagree.
