I they both have clear answers, but they’re obscured by which class you’re in. Rich? Obviously it’s not wrong to hoard. Poor? Obviously you need to eat to survive. Because of this bias, the argument for poor’s needing to steal will always be the debate, always leaving room for the rich to argue against it and justify punishment for people who find ways to make ends meet.

2·3 days agoGet an IPS upgrade. It’s relatively inexpensive off Ali. I bought one for SP with shell, it’s modified to fit the panel so no need for surgical changes to the original shell. Now, it’s so bright that my wife complains when I power it on at night in bed or while she drives. It drains the battery faster, but I just pause and charge. I supposed non-SP might want rechargeable port mods.
GBA is so sick. I kept my broken GBA for +10 years before I finally had disposable income to fix it up. Honestly, I regret not doing it sooner.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•America deserves the truth. The regime has created concentration camps. This intentional cruelty is an insult to the Constitution and we must shut it down.
161·3 days agoGenocide in Palestine. War in Iran. Concentration camps at home. Paradise for parasitic pedophiles.
It’s hard to explain to someone who can only hold one sentence in working memory that the holocaust was bad because it was a genocide and that what Isreal is doing is bad because it’s a genocide. It’s like a fixed number of words, letters, or syllables. They fixate on presumption and emotion because they cannot engage with intellectual debate. I’m strawman-ing a bit, but I don’t know how we prevent people like this sinking the entire ship.
I like to imagine the guy who pitched spying on Americans through their coffee makers like “we need to figure out how much coffee Americans are drinking” and everyone in the room was just fully on board with this genius idea.
While it wouldn’t necessarily shock me if the attack on Iran was a compulsive fuck up, I’m certain that meeting daily with someone perpetuating a genocide is the more likely culprit for shifting the president’s attention to Iran.
There are two comments here:
- I can count to 24
- I get confused by 12PM
The real crime is dividing the day into 24h, 60m per hour, 60s per min.

11·14 days agoChildren get bombed because each bomb is a line item. We replenish the bomb using tax payer dollars. The money goes to a defense contractor, and a portion goes to Isreal as thanks for their continued business. AIPAC contributes to 80% of elected officials to send them more bombs to drop on children. We replace democratically elected ministers with state sponsored monarchs to destabilize and incite warfare. We blockade and starve millions so that they can never recover. All so we can continue bombing children. The system isn’t designed for victory. No one wants to extend the privileges of their nations to newly conquered territories. You can’t siphon tax payer money on 3 day special operations.






This is the argument I have issue with. The truth is that the hypothetical isn’t grounded in reality.
Hypothetically, if one stole from another within the same class out of necessity, it’s impossible for any person to assign or deny the morality of the act.
The reality is there exists such an abundance of material needs, so much so that we have landfills for when we overproduce material needs that are not profitable. The hypothetical serves to divide the poor.
