@roundtit it was hard to accept this morning that what my dog did was, in fact, pretty cute.
@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.
Marx: "The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save—the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour—your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life—the greater is the store of your estranged being."
From the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844

Siberian Shamans, reenacting their dreams wherein they had rescued soul of client, were conducted in, Oroch, Altai, and Nganasan healing séances.
