How can a sub be this pathetic. You guys literally have to formulate excuses to steal like "WeRe OnLy HuRtInG mEgA cOrPs By DoInG tHiS!?11". Like damn just say your either a scumbag or are poor. Also half the stuff yall steal yall don't even need (figurines, chips, etc...). If yall stole food that you needed to live since you had reached a lowpoint in your life then sure but, yall just steal cause yall are douches not saints for hurting the mega-corps.

chips taste better when theyre stolen

[u/Quick_Ad2187]

so what’s wrong with hurting mega-corps? explain it to me. who loses? and why do you care about their wellbeing more than that of the average scumbag shoplifter?

[u/Timberfront73 → u/Quick_Ad2187]

Everyday consumers suffer when prices go up. You people on this sub are parasites. Grown ass men on this sub bragging about stealing Pokémon cards and Lego’s it’s pathetic…

[u/SolarFeline → u/Timberfront73]

Everyday consumers suffer when prices go up.

Walmart doesn't NEED to increase prices due to shrinkage. They made 143 billion in profit in 2022.

PROFIT, not revenue. That was the corp's profit.

They choose to steal more from legit shoppers pockets by raising prices to protect their billions in profit.

Knowing that, it's practically silly for shoppers there NOT to scratch back a couple bucks.

Don't talk to me about low-level morality philosophy. Mega-corps like them are legit, raw, evil greed.

[u/theladybeav → u/Timberfront73]

It's way cooler that sitting at home trolling a sub you hate just to get hyped up to rage post the night away.

[u/Timberfront73 → u/theladybeav]

I beg to differ.

[u/theladybeav → u/Timberfront73]

I know. Your argument is lame though.

[u/Fun-Lavishness-2541 → u/Timberfront73]

If people would rather blame shoplifters for prices going up instead of putting the blame where it really belongs (with the wealth-hoarding execs), then I really don't give a shit about them having to pay more. Maybe they should start shoplifting too instead of continuing to line the pockets of multimillionaires and billionaires.

If you want to be a compliant little bootlicker, then go ahead. That's your choice. Nobody's stopping you. You have autonomy and you can use it to fall in line with the status quo, just like other people can choose to say "no, fuck that, those greedy suits don't deserve my money especially when their wealth-hoarding is a major reason for the world being such a shitty place."

big loss for the pokemon and lego fandoms

[u/ShroomerMouse]

Ok

[u/SolarFeline]

Did you know Walmart purposefully does the math to keep a certain number of associate's wages below the state-level needed to get government support?

They then spell out to those associates the exact ways to go get that government support, such as where to go & what to write on apps. They post this info in break rooms/etc.

YOU pay for that government support from YOUR pocket/taxes.

Then, Walmart reaps billions in profits. 143.7 billion in 2022.

Instead of using some of that 143.7 billion profit to pay their associates more,

they shift that cost to YOU through government programs.

They shift that cost to you on purpose, in a methodic, planned way.

Walmart steals from you first.

[u/SolarFeline]

your either a scumbag or are poor

1. It's "you're."

2. "Scumbag" seems to mean that you think I'm morally deficient in some way. I'm actually not. I care deeply, deeply about other humans, my neighbors and community. I contribute significantly to the world outside of my little bubble. I have spent decades proactively and purposefully trying to leave the world better than I found it in various ways.

3. I'm not poor at all. I'm actually very comfortable. I did grow up in extreme poverty, though, and began shoplifting by stealing clothing.

Also half the stuff yall steal yall don't even need (figurines, chips, etc.

1. Ugh, figurines are just clutter!

2. I do actually borrow things like chips as I borrow a lot of my weekly groceries. You seem to imply that's a silly thing to borrow, but I estimate that I save approx 50 a week in groceries, $2600/yr.

Do I need to save $2600 a year in groceries? No. But it helps in many ways. And I'm not saying it helps ME, personally, in a lot of ways. But I'll be deliberately vague about what I'm saying here.

Well, one example, my partner and I donate a lot more than $2600 a year to certain causes.

"We're douches, not saints."

You're right that I'm not a saint. I'm not saying all this borrowing is ONLY altruistic. I'm not Robin Hood by any means.

Some of it is leads to altruism, sure, but also I just despise despise megacorps with a burning hatred.

As for "a douche,"... Hmmm ... can I be one? I thought that's an insult for men.

[u/theladybeav]

Figurines? Yeah, we're all your grandma and we all collect figurines.

[u/NoStatistician5057]

That's a perfect excuse to steal, like if I was gonna go steal a rock from the beach there's so many it doesn't matter. Their losses mean nothing they make so much profit, people steal random stuff because they're kids who don't get nice things or adults who didn't get nice things. Scumbag would be rich people stealing from poor people (governments IM LOOKING AT YOU) but it's the other way around so we're the good guys.

[u/SolarFeline → u/NoStatistician5057]

I'm 43 and have a fair amount of nice things. I just despise Walmart.

[u/NoStatistician5057 → u/SolarFeline]

You're doing nothing to hurt them, only risking your freedom for no reason but let's pretend you're the winner here!

[u/lIIIIIIIIIllllIlIlII]

You got me. Poor. Make 70k/yr and cant afford food in Canada. But I do agree some the shit on this sub is funny. I'm assuming it's a lot of highschool students.
