    Why am I disingenuous? Were you or were you not making the case that theft could sometimes be considered morally good?

    I find it more disingenuous of you to try and just brush over that by asking me to engage with a completely different argument about the system being the problem.

    The system does not care if you steal from it. As you said yourself, the CEO of the supermarket does not pay for the losses out of his own pocket. He’ll just raise prices or lock things up behind glass so that ultimately, we’re ALL paying for it. Your so-called “charity” ends up costing everyone.

    Like, have you considered that there may be elderly ladies on fixed incomes that also need to buy toiletry items and cannot afford paying extra price increases just because you decided it was okay to let someone else steal?
