At least partly, maybe.
I’ll be honest: I fantasize fairly regularly about being a “hero” and “saving the day”, like stopping a shooter or something like that, cuz I’m just so, so desperate for my life to have meaning or a purpose. I just feel like if I did a heroic act like that, maybe I’d finally feel at peace, that I had finally fulfilled my “purpose” and “reason for being here”.
I don’t support tackling shoplifters or anything like that just to clarify, I just think I might understand at least a little bit why someone would feel motivated to do so.
Even in this instance your stealing the excess value from some other person. If you have to, do it but it still doesn’t strike me as radical.
I didn’t pay for it, the company doesn’t profit from it. That’s the best I can do.
