I do not think anybody likes to steal

The rich. It's their entire lifestyle.

Exactly, you can't become rich without taking what's not yours. I don't care poor people stealing food and condoms, I care about rich people stealing people's retirement funds and shit like that.

That is a mental illness or disease no less than narcism or alcoholism. Rich people aren't special, and they are sick. They also happen to exploit others in a way that feeds back into that sickness. It appears important bc they have so much but its just coincidence, disease and the complexity of socitey that makes it hard to change so that there illness can be treated.

  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
