Panel 1: “You wanna know what I do when I see people stealing food or baby formula?”

Panel 2: “Fucking nothing because I’m not a fucking asshole.”

      Comparing you to blindly following the system that opresses you if we really boil it down.

      Dont stop people from shoplifting and your owner sprays everyone with a little squirt bottle and you blame it on the shoplifters, not the owners?

        Shoplifting increases the prices I have to pay for my groceries. That’s just how society works. But I’m still left confused as to what the hiel walmart part meant, care to open that up? Never heard of the word “hiel”.

          The increased prices is the spray bottle, if that’s how society works then we really haven’t strayed that far from midevil monarchies. You think the 2nd LA house isn’t maybe sorta a tiny bit increasing your grocery price? Or the monopoly that made it impossible for any other brands to exist did?

          Its my misspelling of heil, as in Hitler obviously - unless you really are this dense cause then I can see why capitalism is having an easy job with you

            Ah right, so I’m being told I’m stupid by someone who can’t spell.

            Explains quite a bit.

            Also “heil” isn’t “as in” hitler. Heil translates better to “hail” in english, as in “Hail to the King” or something.

            But I’ll stop educating you and let you educate yourself from now on young lad.

              Can’t spell… in German? That’s youre measurement for intelligence? I mean IG it stands true for Einstein, but like then newton, Ben Franklin, Stephen hawking are all idiots to you?

              And yes the analogy is to hailing Walmart as if it is a kind or Hitler, but the point is youre blindly following it. Sorry I expected some crumbs of critical thinking and didn’t walk you through the entire thought lrocess

                “lrocess” lmao, famously german word. Going to assume you meant to say “process”, you little genius.

                And there are no walmarts where I live, but I do pay for my groceries and in that transaction there is a component for the losses made by criminals. Me - a normal person - have to pay for criminal activities.

                There would be no production of products that are stolen. The roots of poverty lie somewhere else than baby formulas.

                  Again I’m really impressed at your qualifiers for intelligence…

                  Guessing its still a monopoly superstore? Not many places in the world without.

                  And who’s making you pay for those crimes? Are the starving mother’s holding you against a wall and demanding money?

                  or is it the shareholders that demand infinite growth from a limited supply, indirectly encouraging fucking us at every chance

                    Not a monopoly, triopoly if you want to be specific though definitions vary.

                    Loss for the product is placed upon customers as normal. Starving mothers should probably tap into the extremely wide social safety nets we have in place.
