shoplifting discourse has been making the rounds, does anyone have any good readings/studies/etc on shoplifting?
@exiliaex I thought it was established: okay if big company, bad if mom and pop
@FinalOverdrive @exiliaex what's the difference? i'm not a leftist but i don't really understand why moral distinctions should be drawn regarding how you behave regarding big and small businesses.
@pie @FinalOverdrive studies tend to show that when people feel like they're stealing from a person it feels different than when you're stealing from a faceless corporation. but, politically i agree that in class war, businesses are businesses and they are predicated on exploitation and the violent upholding of their power, and as such, the non-propertied can't really treat them differently.
@exiliaex @pie I guess that moment my petit-bourgeois prejudices show.
