That just means all you have to do is come up with a justification and steal all you want for the most part and we as humans are very good at this sort of mental gymnastics. One might say that cognitive dissonance is one of our biggest super powers.

    I think relative harm factors in too. Decimating someone's resources when they're likely to struggle to feed themselves next month? Or course that's reprehensible. Taking a tiny portion from someone who won't even notice, especially when you'll probably get a lot more out of it? Now you're practically Robin Hood
