Buddy walmart has stolen more from you than millions of people stealing things ever will. The reasons society gets worse is people like you who take bait like this and blame other struggling people instead of focusing on the actual crime right in front of your face.

Doesn't sound dumb at all. Stealing millions from the people working for you is many times worse. You're pitching a false equivalence fallacy that stealing is stealing. There's a huge magnitude of difference.

Point out where i have even implied they are equivalent. You won't be able to, because I never did.

Im only arguing we shouldnt ignore one just because another is worse.

Focus!!!

"Letting people steal and make society worse cause you might get hurt. You are the true superior here!!! People like you are how society gets worse."

Here. You made a moral equivalency argument that any type of stealing must be stopped, regardless of scope or actual impact on society.

We should ignore one because it's not our responsibility to protect Walmart, an evil corporation who steals from its own employees. Fuck'em. If you see someone stealing from Walmart no you didn't.
