Hey I don’t have to explain my shit at all but
Reading so many people (‘antis’, but i don’t like that term) responding to popular pro-shoplifting posts makes me want to. I can’t speak for all people who shoplift but I can speak for me. I am a teenager, I am not from a particularly well off background, I thought I was but as I get older I discover more debt and problems in my family which make me angry. I am angry that although everyone related to me works as hard as they can, it’s be in debt or not eat. Be in debt or no personal hygiene. Be in debt or no comfort.
So yeah, I fucking steal.
I steal food. I steal clothes. I steal makeup. I am stealing a ton right now because my nieces deserve a lovely Christmas with presents to open. My mother deserves things that make her feel good about herself. I sneak in her room and replace her perfumes and lotions that are running out with ones I’ve stolen so she won’t worry about spending her hard earned money on ridiculously overpriced shit that she deserves. I don’t take from family run stores, local businesses, market vendors. I spend money there and at charity shops too. I take from the big corps that I know for a fact it doesn’t hurt.
‘But-but- employees get-’ No, they don’t. Not where I steal from. Shoplifting is not their problem, they are not to blame for it, it is SO illegal here to cut paychecks or hours for shoplifting unless it’s a local/family run place, which as I said are off limits completely. The big trendy chains here can more than afford a lipstick going missing, a dress stuffed in my bag. The staff are not hurt and if I ever found out otherwise I’d stop this in a heartbeat.
I steal and I’m not fucking ashamed. I am careful, I think about what I take and why and where from. I will steal until we get out of the poverty my government has put us in.
See, my mother has a business, one she worked hard on. Once she broke even, she was forced to shut down part of it because of a ridiculous new law based on taxing square fucking metres of space and she was centimetres over, and subsequently could not afford the extra thousands of pounds a year. She was then forced to lower prices which are already cheap to get as much business as possible because they said if she earns just above what she is earning currently she is taxed hundreds more.
This system keeps us poor and in return I am going to take what I want and need from it.
You hate thieves? Cool. Yell at the people who robbed Pewdiepie. Or the ones who smash n grab at Pandora. Or the assholes who would dine n dash at my mother’s business because it’s a small place and we are too busy to chase. The people who threaten family run gas stations for the till money. THEY are the bad guys here.
I took tampons and painkillers and bread and vegetables. Then I took basic makeup and skincare. Then I took clothes and shoes. Now I take all these things and we are living more comfortably than before, we are saving money and debt is actually getting lesser because of me. My mother doesn’t ask. We were not okay until I began cheating this system back, and I’m fucking glad and proud that I did.
