Of Course: Liberals Stealing From Bezos Because He Isn’t Sufficiently Leftist

This post was originally published on this site

There must be something attractive about being a liberal, and my assessment is that it is the belief that being “virtuous” in one’s own eyes and those of your compatriots amounts to a get-out-of-jail-free card for actually being an a$$hole.

There are countless examples, and the excuses seem to cover far more than minor sins. Don’t like insurance companies? Kill the executive and become a cult hero. Not happy with something? Riot, kill and maim people, and burn down a city. Want to “protest?” There is no better way to protest than to loot stores and get that massive TV you always wanted. Pissed off at Elon Musk? Burn down Tesla chargers and Cybertrucks, shoot up showrooms, and vandalize random people’s cars. 

Being liberal allows you to liberate your ID, and you can expect that even more self-restrained liberals will make up excuses that amount to “I don’t approve of X, but…” And then they contribute to your legal defense fund. If you are a sociopath, you are stupid NOT to become a lefty. 

We already know that the movement to demonize, destroy, and try to kill Elon Musk is going full bore. And if you think that his assassination is not the goal, you should open your eyes. Plenty of liberals are saying it outright, and lots more are egging them on by accusing him of the most vile crimes. 

They want him dead. The people who call using the right pronoun for a male “stochastic terrorism” are accusing Musk, Trump, and all their supporters of being Hitler reborn. They know what they are doing–and the saw the results of their campaign to kill Trump last year. It almost worked. 

Jeff Bezos hasn’t been targeted to the extent that Trump and Musk have been, but his own turn to the right or at least libertarian philosophy has sparked a movement to destroy Amazon, and the tonier liberals are all-in on this campaign. People who are less inclined to violence have decided that stealing from Amazon is a safer and less self-destructive way to strike back. Since, unlike the radicals, they are employed outside the protest-industrial complex which pays the “protesters,” they want to keep their jobs and not be exposed as dangerous, but they also want in on the virtuous “resistance.” Nothing says “resistance” better than becoming a criminal.

Lee insists he’s “famously” a very good Catholic. He’s a moral person — his mother raised him right. And by his internal calculation, it’s OK to shoplift from Whole Foods. Why? Because of Jeff Bezos.

From about 2020 to 2022, Lee, a 20-something communications professional living in the Washington, DC, area, engaged in what he describes as “grand theft auto-ing” from his local Whole Foods store. He would cheat the scale at the hot bar, pocket spices, or take home four lemons in the self-checkout aisle while only declaring two. Lee has never shoplifted from anywhere else — not Safeway, not a local store. He’s largely stopped taking from Whole Foods because he moved to a different neighborhood that doesn’t have one. However, he told me, there’s one by his gym he’ll pop into — and steal from — from time to time.

Lee has weighed the ethics of what he’s doing. At one point, the guilt got to be so much that he confessed his misdeeds to his mother. Once he explained his reasoning — Amazon‘s market power, Bezos’ wealth, what the billionaire has done at The Washington Post — she came around.

“Good Catholic.” I wonder what his priest says. You can’t be absolved of your sins if you don’t possess a sincere desire to reform, and obviously Lee does not. 

But he doesn’t need to have one, in his own eyes, because he is striking back at “the man.” In his eyes, he is virtuous for stealing, even though his thefts don’t hurt Bezos a whit because “shrinkage” is built into the pricing structure of any business. The prices are higher for everybody just so Lee can get his rocks off by opposing mean ol’ capitalist Jeff Bezos.

In the realm of retail theft, middle-class consumers and opportunist thieves are a growing group of culprits. It’s difficult to tease out the exact size and scope of the cohort, given how incomplete retail-theft data can be. Amazon isn’t exactly shouting its shrink numbers from the rooftops, and other companies have even admitted to mistakes in assessing the problem. But as one loss prevention professional put it to me last year, everyday, ordinary shoplifters are “like a giant organized mob, they just don’t know each other.”

If a billionaire can steal from me, I can scrape a little off the top, too.

Many of them abide by a certain code around who they take from, and the swath of small-time larcenists I’ve spoken to consistently say that anything Jeff Bezos-related falls into the “allowed” column. He’s the second-richest man in the world, he’s highly visible, and they don’t love what they know about him personally. They feel like they’re balancing the scales in stealing from one of his companies, undertaking some sort of Robin Hood-esque endeavor where they take from the rich to give to the poor, the comparatively poor being themselves.

“I don’t approve of stealing, but…” 

Yes, yes you do approve of stealing. Just as everybody who “disapproved” of Luigi Mangione right before explaining why he was right to kill an insurance executive. 

Liberals keep accusing conservatives of being fascists, but trust me: if we were a bit less self-restrained in expressing our anger at how liberals are self-consciously destroying society, twisting the rules to their own benefit, and burning down every good thing in sight, they would understand that angering the most heavily armed population in world history would not be feeling so free to break the law, burn things down, cheat at elections, open our borders, and try to turn children into eunuchs.

In fascist countries, entitled elites are not applauded by their peers for stealing, threatening to murder “fascist” leaders, adopting Brownshirt tactics against the “fascist” leaders, or stealing from people they dislike. They are censored, fired, made pariahs, and called horrible names–just as happens to conservatives when liberals have the slightest bit of power. 

Fascists wouldn’t let MSNBC, The View, every nightly newscaster, and the hosts of the Sunday Shows spew lies and hate at them 24/7. 

Fascists, when polled, say that people who oppose them in a policy should have their kids taken from them and then be put in camps. 

In January 2022, about half of Democrats supported fines, prison, and quarantine camps for the unvaccinated.

• 55% backed FINES for refusing the vaccine.

• 59% supported permanent HOME CONFINEMENT for the unvaccinated.

• 48% backed PRISON for questioning vaccine efficacy on social media.

• 45% supported placing the unvaccinated in QUARANTINE CAMPS.

• 47% backed surveillance and TRACKING of the unvaccinated.

• 29% supported the government TAKING CHILDREN from unvaccinated parents.

The Democrat Party’s corporate media labeled the unvaccinated as dangerous scum, and many Americans believed them.

So, is it really surprising that a new poll shows 28% of Democrats are rooting for President Trump’s assassination?

Of Course: Liberals Stealing From Bezos Because He Isn't Sufficiently Leftist 1You see the same fascist tendencies among liberals on many issues. Don’t like the opposition candidate? Throw them in jail or ban them from the ballot. That’s been happening in Western Europe to the applause of the transnational elite, and the lawfare against Republicans is transparently obvious.

How many Secretaries of State tried to kick Trump off the ballot? Who do you think funded those efforts? Maine and Colorado tried. It took a U.S. Supreme Court decision to settle the matter. 

Liberals only engage in this sort of behavior because they know something they won’t admit: conservatives are not only not fascists but the people desperately trying to avoid going down that path. We still believe that what separates America from tyrannies is respect for the rule of law, even when the law is abused to intolerable extremes. 

Do you want proof of how restrained conservatives are? American private citizens own almost half the guns that exist in the world. If we were inclined to use them to impose our will, you would know it. We don’t because doing so is wrong. If we were fascists, you would know.

But every step that leftists take expressing their own disdain for the law is a step closer to the breakdown of order. You can only burn so many buildings, beat up so many 60-year-old women driving Teslas, assassinate so many executives, and take potshots at our political leaders before Americans lose hope that we can recover our country. 

It may seem a small thing that liberal “good Catholics” permit themselves to break the law–in defense of “norms,” you know–before people give up. Riots, opening the borders to rapists and murderers, arbitrary limits on liberty, forcing people to inject experimental and barely tested “vaccines” under false pretenses, closing schools, mob action, and lawlessness cannot be tolerated forever. 

I don’t know where the breaking point is, but I do know that history says there is one.
