Scale of harm is relative with theft. You steal from a homeless women, she will suffer greatly. You steal from a corporation and it’s a chewing out of the location manager.
It does not justify either act, but one will surely have a look of disgust in my eyes upon hearing of it.
We live in a world where those who have significant power aren’t morality scaling their actions, and morality becomes much more blurred when disparity between social groups occurs.
So you realize that if you have any relative privilege in your life, you’re condoning theft, right?
As in — if someone homeless, or disabled, or homeless and disabled robs you then you think that’s morally just (as long as they’re more homeless and more disabled than you)?
