So-called “shoplifting” is a manufactured crime, designed by reactionaries to distract proletarians from the kleptocratic actuality of bourgeois late capitalist society.
Fam you can slap as many big shiny words as you want on it shoplifting is a crime that hurts retail workers, like me
WE get in trouble because selfish, middle class teenagers who want a chuckle nab hundreds of dollars worth of stuff without paying- then we, the staff, either get blamed for STEALING IT or get blamed for letting someone steal it. We get in trouble because Suzy just HAD to have those designer jeans, or that bronzer, or that bottle of jack. I don’t judge people who steel food too heavily because I get it, you need to eat, I don’t like it but you do what you gotta. But defending theft as some ‘radical’ stick it to the man movement is bullshit.
You’re not hurting the man/the bourgeoisie/the 1%, you’re hurting the people on the ground who are trying to make an honest living and NEED their jobs.
Fuck off with your false sense of entitlement and fuck you for making this post to try and ease your guilty conscience.
