    This is a critique of online shoplifting “culture” which is so utterly and profoundly eyewatteringly yuppy liberal white kids getting kicks. Shoplifting doesn’t give me a rush, and I don’t want it too. Same with pickpocketing, or honestly dealing.

    It’s quite literally just a part of life, normal, it’s something that basically everyone does. It seems so fuckin odd to draw attention to it. It’s not called “shoplifting”, it’s called “racking”. You sound like an undercover cop. This whole place does. It feels like this place is cops parodying what they think shoplifters are like.

    Revolutionary actions lead to tangible revolution or liberation. If you don’t see the slave freed, or the structure destroyed, then you did nothing.

    Militant resistance to the IDF is revolutionary. Directly liberating animals from testing labs is revolutionary. Hamas is revolutionary. The black panthers are revolutionary. Calling shoplifting revolutionary is like calling boycotting revolutionary just serves to make people complacent in a similar fashion to liberalism. Your not going to boycott capitalisim to death.
