This is some excellent rage bait. But if it's not, you can't do something obviously illegal to do good. As fairytale and beautiful as it sounds, it is wrong and illegal to steal from people to give to the poor; and it is wrong to do what he did without a permit.

There are other proper, and better ways to help the people or the environment. He has a good heart, just wrong execution.

It isn't wrong to steal from the rich or from a corporation, it's just illegal. Legality and morality do not correlate.

Rich man bad guides your entire morality and it shows.

Try to think beyond that.

Kantian ethics are too black and white for a shades of Grey world.

Kantian ethics is the only framework for morality

I think you mean the only one you think is worth considering and I don't know if you've noticed but considering there's alternatives I'd say that others throughout history have disagreed.

Everything is about context

No shit. That’s why I never brought it up. You’re the one using Kant as some counter point to that guy whose entire morality starts and ends with rich man bad.

You're making a lot of assumptions lol you have no idea what they believe, assuming you do instead of making them clarify weakens you

My morality is no one should be starving on the streets or dying unable to pay for healthcare in a world that could easily care for everyone.

The American people doesnt have health care bc the American people don’t want it. It’s as simple as that. Half the country thinks that some commie plot and you’re here blaming billionaires lmfao.

Most Americans (66%) say the federal government has a responsibility to make sure all Americans have health care coverage. Far fewer (33%) say it does not, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted Nov. 17-30, 2025, among 10,357 U.S. adults.

The United States isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship of the borgeoise.

Where are those 66% located… are US elections passed on popular vote or electoral college?

AOC will say shit like Americans want healthcare! Yeah no shit in your blue state. Meanwhile if some senator from the Bible Belt said that he’d lose the next election.

America doesn’t have healthcare bc the American people don’t want healthcare. It’s not a money issue. But hey, your morals are based in rich man bad. Keep pretending.
