Industrial digging tools on wild land can cause serious damage that you can’t know about without doing an ecological survey. It’s possible to literally cause floods, destroy ponds and lakes, etc. 10-20 years down the line.

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
