Food retailers have seen a “massive” increase in pensioner shoplifters over the last year, a security firm has said.

John Nussbaum, director of service for retail at Kingdom Security, said his staff were seeing a “different sort of shoplifter now” as the cost of living “pushes people to something they’ve never done before”.

it's not clear if parent poster's comment was an accusation with judgement, or just statement of fact

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Mostly a statement of fact, and due to that fact there isn't much point in debating the subject at hand.

Yeah, it is. If they shared a thought in any real self respect, then they would have declared it. No, they make an observation and share zero thoughts of value because that have no thoughts of value. Theirs be fiddled entirely with that narcissistic style badger training that every heirarchy schools their slaves into know what words coo any thinkers out.

Hence they began to insult anyone "stealing" as some kind of quality judgement of character because you can steal cheaper food and be all kinds of nice to your King.

I read it as: he dislikes taking luxury items because it's taking more than your needs, you like it because it's a direct affront to capital. He said you're an anarchist (which I think is correct?), and you started name calling

Taking something that exists in the hands of someone, who trashes more food than would feed the entire nation in its one life of a parasitic existence, is irrelevant to any notion of a rating upon how much your desperation for it stands, ever. The fact that you consider this "relativity" to be scalable to any meaingful value is more than an insult. It is declaring that this vampire, that trashes more food than your entire species survives off of, is validated in contribution, quality, value, meaning, or purpose other than parasitic. To be clear, this is fraudulent. They are parasitic and this is its only real form of existence and they are supporting that.

That's hypocritical, but more like expressing hypocrisy for the vampire, and he don't even have a religion.

Just bear in mind the distinct characteristics you are assigning to people who dont fully agree with your position. The world is more than binary, and up until the discussion split into capital over necessity, both you and your compatriot were aligned.

I don't operate binary. Your limitation of your perspective of me is the source to such. I don't know what bars your awareness and I'm not here to help someone who is criticizing me for shit they are just in an entirely other place mentally while ascribing such upon me. That's more hypocrisy. You need a shrink and my mental objective is the other direction. Thanks, but no thanks.
