    Which is a dumb premise - just because a person might not support looting (and rightfully so) doesn’t mean you support capitalism. The opinions on the two matters aren’t mutually exclusive.

    Flip the logic the other way: if you support, say, socialism for example (i.e. anything that’s not capitalist), does that mean you support looting? If I support looting, does that mean I am a left-leaning communist?

      I’m responding to someone else and you crazies keep defending each other.

      If looting resulted in redistributing the stolen goods to the less fortunate people

      That sounds a little left leaning communist to me. But you didn’t say that so I get you might have a different opinion.

        I’m actually just contributing to a conversation on the internet because I apparently feel strongly about this. Legitimately not tryna to attack you because I think you’re just explaining the premise the dude in OP’s pic has.

        That sounds a little left leaning communist to me. But you didn’t say that so I get you might have a different opinion.

        I didn’t say it, but you’re also cherry-picking statements of the other dude to prove a point. Consider they said this:

        Not this looting where opportunists loot stuff to make personal money out of an injustice, giving everyone a bad name.

        Which, unfortunately, is what looting is a vast majority of the time - so can you say they support looting if they said they only support it in a specific context and not a general sense?

        Do they support looting in an oddly naive and idealistic scenario? Yes. Do they support left-leaning beliefs? Seems like it. Are the two things related to one another? Not a chance - which I also get you’re just pointing out the premise from the dude in OP’s pic, but I just really think it’s a fucking dumb take for the guy in OP’s pic to have.
