Hello beautiful people, I’ve seen a fair few people wonder if shoplifting will give them bad karma, have negative affect on their luck, energies they attract, etc. And here’s the take on it;
Lifting is a victimless crime. It does not directly hurt innocent people. It does not cause harm to others. If companies penalize wages or work times as a result of “losses”, that’s highly illegal and they’re fucking you over. For me & many others, It’s a way to protest against and not contribute to the regulation of evil, faceless corporations who don’t care about us.
These big corporations we lift from continue to do things so awful we can never even begin to imagine the heft of them. If I was to buy from them instead of lift, I’d be doing nothing but supporting the fucked up shit they do. This includes child exploitation & labour, unsafe & extremely dangerous working conditions, huge contribution to pollution, creating excess waste, discrimination and abuse, disregard of employees, greedy & shady intentions, etc).
Since the basis of karma is “good or bad luck, viewed as resulting from one’s actions”, lifting does not come into this category of “bad karma”, because if I’m being honest, I really don’t think supporting these companies would give anyone good karma.
One way or another, these companies need a bit of karma in return. Which most believe comes in the form of things such as losses due to shoplifting.
The only bad karma you could gain from lifting is stealing from Mom & Pop or locally owned stores as there are real, innocent people behind them who rely on their income.
♥️ If you believe in karma & higher beings, please don’t ever feel guilty or scared of lifting, because these “higher beings” are on your side. Whether that be in the form of gut feelings to tell us when to ditch our stuff, or clueless SA’s & unattended fitting rooms. ♥️
Fuck this system that continues to keep people down! They don’t deserve your money! Fuck the police! Be gay! Do crime!
