I agree with the Nobel Laureate in economics, Joseph E Stiglitz, who wrote this.
And that is why stealing from a corporation is not a crime. They have deprived you, personally, of benefits and services that your government can not afford because of tax dodging. They are killing you, personally, by privatizing your health care, by opposing electrification, by using single use plastics for nearly all packaging. They are keeping you, personally, poor by suppressing wages, raising prices, and outsourcing labour to markets where slavery is not only tolerated but the norm.
You can not injure a corporation, you can not hurt it's feelings. Pirate, lie, steal, cheat, get every penny you can from the 1% and use it to help the other 99.
Well, it literally is a crime because law is law and law is not ethics, but you could argue that it is morally okay due to the reasons you provided.
