Attached: 1 image ps. when they talk about "looting", this is what typically qualifies in disaster zones. People desperate, supplies in a wreck, but property rights > desperation.

If you haven’t already, I would recommend reading the book In Defense of Looting by Vicky Osterweil.

β€œLooting rejects the legitimacy of ownership rights and property, the moral injunction to work for a living, and the β€œjustice” of law and order. Looting reveals all these for what they are: not natural facts, but social constructs benefiting a few at the expense of the many, upheld by ideology, economy, and state violence.”

@Ashedryden I made this meme version of a Donald Rumsfeld quote for use in such situations.
