Don't be a tool of the corpos and the state.

For the shoplifting thing, it depends which store it is. Big chain grocery store? Yeah, I couldn't care less what someone takes. Small single owner shop? Fuck you for stealing from that guy. Those stores struggle enough just trying to compete with the Walmarts of the world.

Stealing food? I didn't see shit.

- Absolutely yes, but also, choose your targets. Walmart ain't gonna miss it. The local bodega will.

- When the food is multiple grocery bags full of steaks I'm a little less inclined to a charitable view.
  
  That said, I'm still not going to do anything about it. Intervening on the behalf of a grocery store is insane, even if I were opposed to what's happening. Not my monkeys, not my circus.

Wal mart is still the one and only store I used to steal from back in 90’s. Had to wear umbro shorts since they had that webbing in them and then grab a few CDs and beads to make necklaces that I would sell. By the time I got to high school I was over the shop lifting thing.

- Much like pirating Nintendo games, it is morally correct to shoplift from Walmart, assuming you have the skill to get away with it.

Wait, is sleeping in your car illegal???

66

In Burgerland? Ofc!

50
- Freedom rains!
  
  16
- I don't think it's illegal in Germany.

In many cities in the US, not only is it illegal, they will charge you with DUI if you appear at all intoxicated, and the keys to the car were at all available to you. Available in this case can mean that you were in the back seat sleeping and the keys were in the front console, or one of the front seats. Don't even think about running your car to stay warm/cool.

- Is that whole sobriety test thing real in the US? Like, stand on one leg and recite the alphabet etc? I've seen it on TV but always thought it was pretty stupid. In the UK the police have breath-tested for drink driving since 1967.
  
  13
No but it is illegal to park in most places after hours. You will get hit with trespassing.

23
- In what sort of un-free shitehole is that a law?!?

I have so many questions.

Imma say it is in MY neighbourhood...!

a tent in the woods

That's where tents belong, though. It's called camping.

48

I thought people only went glamping nowadays.

11
- No, people only post glamping to social media. Plenty of people still go camping.

i genuinely can't believe there are laws around sleeping in vehicles these days. You want me to pack up and fuck off after a day? Fine, i'll do that, i can live with that. Fuck you for making it illegal though. Actual bullshit.

46

I only lie to three people. Cops, judges, and my parents.

I remember being told that an adult could sleep in a car, but with a child, sleeping in a car is considered "endangerment". Doubly so if you're a CIS gender male with a female child. This was a Texas CPS social worker. We just had a flood and were brainstorming ideas for temporary shelter for folks.

32

Totally!.... At the home Depot if someone shoplifts a drill, tell them where the drill bits are. Chances are they won't be able to come back to home Depot again for a while. They might as well have all they need.

22

Why not buy some under water drills and an underwater propulsion device then go down to the marina and sink some expensive yatchs? How about slashing some police tires?

Why not study an industry you wanna take down and figure out how? Or gather an online flash mob and invade a conservative website or institution. How about running for office at your local council? Or sending letters to good and bad politicians saying what you think. Contact the media about something you believe but make sure it's the right level for what you're saying.

Or go read some leftwing theory.

16

Some of that is adventurism, so I would say organizing comes first. Sinking yachts does little without a mass leftist movement to take advantage of the damage.

Theory is great too, it makes your practice sharper.

And we pay to keep them homeless between shit charities with stocked boards making $100k yearly, ER visits, and arrests/enforcement.. This system of capitalism is totally ducked build dense affordable housing, and watch America become actually great again.

15

I never snitch, ever. If my neighbour was a serial killer, I'd just move instead of calling the cops.

13

i'd give him a shopping list...

11

What if they're shoplifting at my store?

9

Then direct them to Walmart because your owner-operated store with no employees is too rare already.

17

I know people who are shoplifting for "fun" or for "the thrill". They don't even care about the items and they definitely don't care about the shop owner. They just do it when they see the chances.

8

Unless it's a small business, I don't care about the shop owner, either.

20
- Won't anyone think of the shareholders!
  
  11
But who are we to judge when shoplifting is appropriate or not? Also, if you are shoplifting to spite the capitalist system, you are doing society a favor. If you are shoplifting in a small self-owned store that is struggling itself, this would be less than ideal. But all other large corporate-owned shops are ethically OK to shoplift imo.

  Seems like that's the whole post.

Gas Station Encounters is a great channel to see shoplifters in action.

Pays 100$ for gas, 50$ worth of scratch tickets, 20$ worth of soda

Steals a 50¢ candy bar

Some people are just... lmao

I sleep outside just because sometimes. So anyways homeless people don't exist right?

6

I guess it depends on what you're shoplifting and who you're stealing from.

Like, stealing a gaming rig from a mom-and-pop style PC building/repair shop wouldn't be okay

5

To me, shop lifting is taking small value items.

What you described is, to me, theft.

IANAL

Here's the deal: as long as you're not being an asshole about doing any of these things, I'll probably overlook it.

Start acting a fool however, and I'll have the cops come collect you.

4

Precisely correct.

I'm just a tool of my own design.

I actually go out in my tactical gear with my open carry, and tap on their windows then give them the "gonna let you off with a warning" speech. It's so fun and makes me feel strong and powerful.

Plus I get to scope out the ladies, if ya know what I mean ;)

I never saw so many people shoplifting when I worked at Hy-vee.

I'm working from inside to ruin the corps clearly 😂
