Don't worry, even if we don't give them the theft excuse they'll just lie about it anyway and do whatever they wanted to do, regardless of our input or reality. If a retail corporation wants to raise prices, they will raise prices. There is nothing you or me or anyone else can do about it.

The only winning move is not to play the game.

Fuck the corpos, choom.

Whoosh that's were the DV came from.

appeal to ignorance.

Yeah, it's completely ethical to steal from big corporations. They steal from you every single day. Their entire existence is based on the amoral exploitation of other humans. Other people, small businesses, a very very very few medium-large corporations, it's not ethical to steal from, they're not a disgusting blight rotting away the foundations of society. Nor a friend, or stranger, or small business, etc. for the same reason.

I feel like this isn't a particularly hard concept.
