As he pulled his luggage through downtown New Haven, Conn., a woman handed him a flier describing his new city as crime-ridden and dangerous. It listed alarming local crime statistics and instructed students to “remain on campus,” “avoid public transportation” and “stay off the streets after 8 p.m.” Illustrated with a picture of the Grim Reaper, the flier wished students an ominous “Good luck.”

But perhaps most jarring was the source of the flier, listed plainly in its text: the union that represents Yale’s own campus police.

"crime is rad lol"

Yep this is about it

In response to your edit about power and food: assuming that's true, robbing an individual stranger is maybe the least justifiable type of theft. An electronics store is what you're looking for.

That's the mentality on display here.

"robbing extremely privileged people would mean i could afford basic necessities"

"you just like crime"

lol

You edited in your economic justification after a couple of comments. Your original comment was just "I want to rob posh people."

you know the edit is timestamped right?

i added it in before you replied to the comment

mugging someone is easier though

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

The only reason to prefer mugging a random student over walking out of Target with a TV is wanting to hurt a person, or at least screw them over individually.

You just want to punch up, which is understandable. But it's not leftism, and it doesn't justify victimizing a person instead of a company.

we don't have target here
way less likely to get caught mugging some rando
you don't really need to hurt them
again, never said it's leftism

you also need to flog the tv
and get it home

Stalin robbed banks, not individuals, and he was doing it to fund a proletarian party, not for his personal benefit.

Few people want to associate with a political movement that encourages or allows casual violence. Those movements are disconnected from the people and open season for opportunists. It should not be a hot take to want violence to be carefully directed towards political ends.
