    Most people who do small crime like this do so because of the material pressure capitalism puts on them. The actual evil criminals are the few privileged ultra rich people who steal unbelievable amounts from the public despite already having way more than enough, like Trump, Bezos and Musk for example. Those are the real criminals.

      When my parents got their car stolen, the robber used it for a joy ride and proceeded to crash it. I don’t disagree that there are other places to put blame, but car theft I don’t think is as financially motivated as something like stealing food or catalytic converters.

        I somehow came across wrong I guess. I in fact do very much condemn non rich people stealing from other non rich people. Instead they should unite and fight the power.

        In my book stealing a car is a small crime. We are not talking about stealing the horse of someone who’s life depends on it in the old west but just a piece of Detroit trash. So no matter how a car fetishistic law system sees it, I still consider it a small crime.

      I don’t believe Trump is rich. The enormous moron he is, he likely squandered all his inherited wealth. Now he is just lying because he wants to keep the rich man status to impress his cult.
