Dr. Maddkap, WerepsychologistWhy are ethics questions always:
“Is it ethical to steal bread if your family is starving?”
And not:
“Is it ethical to hoard a million loaves of bread when other families are starving?”

In a society where food (water, shelter and other basic needs) is a privilege instead of a human right, it's unethical to steal.

That confuses law with morality. A society which sets out that survival is a privilege is an unethical society, & there is an ethical imperative to oppose it, not to collude with it.

I would not agree with that, and would be interested to know which basis you are using for that position.

@HighlandLawyer @Andres @drmaddkap the fact there very existence is to try control people and that they function to cause harm to people on purpose and violate their rights but it’s “okay now” becuase you see it’s the law doing it, for a start — and that they create a culture of normalised dehumanization and othering towards people.. and that if you apply the stages of genocide to law enforcement it matches perfectly, including the murdering them in mass bit a lot of the time, but you see it’s the law so it’s totally fine now.

I clearly don't know enough about laws and ethics, but sounds to me that the existence (without an exception clause) of a "stealing food" law is unethical.
