Petty theft and similar crimes are almost always borne out of desperation. When you can’t feed your family, have zero job prospects, or feel like the world won’t allow you more than the barest subsistence, people turn to crime.
Vast majority of people aren’t going to start mugging strangers when they are doing OK just because they want more. Personal risk of harm is just too great. Those types of thieves generally perpetrate white-collar and financial crimes.
Bottom left yellow person would be swayed if his initial motives were real. But the last motive shows yellow person is actually desperate, so while increasing guilt, is unlikely to fix the core issue and sway them.
There are also people who are desperate because they’re addicted to drugs, and safety net programs aren’t gonna do much about that. Not really a counterargument, just a sidebar.
I would always see and hear about poor people having their homes broken into and things stolen and I was always like “Why don’t you rob someone who’s rich?”
Because rich people have better security. Which makes it harder. 😮💨
Working as intended.
The rich probably live farther away than you do too. So the thief would have to make an investment in additional time as well as resources for travel. If you’re a thief of opportunity, you likely don’t have the cashflow to over that additional overhead.
Lol. Good to delineate which crimes are activism
It is. It’s how you get laws changed.
It’s also how you destroy the environment of the Niger River Delta.
You want to take out the pumps, not the pipelines.
(Calm down NSA, I’m saying this purely in jest)
I get what you’re saying, but there’s practical considerations. There’s just too many pumps for that to be feasible. Only a couple pipes though.
On the other hand, if you blow up all the pumps, it takes more resources to replace those than it would to simply repair a couple pipes.

Why tf would you steal from a person when there’s perfectly evil companies to steal from?

That bottom left comic would actually play out with blue guy getting stabbed, and his wallet taken.

By someone who had just said that they’re engaging in crime specifically for the activism angle?
No offense, but I don’t think you’re qualified to know what would actually play out when one politically aware bipedal dog tries to mug another.
Touche, politically aware dogs aren’t people. Lol

Brand new sentence.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
His guts wide.
Blue would have been stabbed at “you’re a common criminal now”, probably.
WEH!
NYEHH…
