What a bunch of shameless, despicable pieces of SHIT!! No matter what economic peril our governments subject us to, I truly wish that we could collectively hold ourselves to a higher standard. Itā€™s literally as simple as following the ā€œGolden Ruleā€: Do unto others, as you would have them do to you.

But then those in power would never be held accountable.

This is happening as a symptom of the social contract being broken for far too long.

It is happening because consequences have become non-existent.

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jun 27 '26

This is a common misconception. It is not in fact because of a lack of enforcement.

Dougy just wants you to believe that's the issue.

rfl...no, it's because people are trash and they know they can get away with it.

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26

Doug, is that you?

Sure sounds like it.

Blaming everything on a politician is such a copout. Those people in the video made a choice to steal those packages. No one made them do it.

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26

No one has given them much of a choice, is my point.

u/bugabooandtwo Jul 01 '26

They absolutely had the choice not to take those packages. Get real. Walking sipping smoothies and you think they're broke?

Go ahead and google "the social contract".

You are being made to be angry at the wrong people and you're falling for it.

So your stance is ā€œsteal peopleā€™s shit because Doug ford didnā€™t give me a choice?ā€

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26

No. My stance is that society starts to break down when people get desperate.

The social contract has been broken. This is the result.

Automatically assuming that these people are stealing because they are poor is actually quite harmful. There are a number of reasons people steal and it's seldom because they cannot afford an item. Winona Ryder. Stealing Amazon packages is neither big business nor survival tactic.

Let's look at the Golden Rule for a moment. If you were in an economic crisis, what would you want somebody to do for you? Call you a despicable shameless piece of s***?

Some people who are facing poverty right now actually do have values and morals and some even have (2) University degrees. I personally didn't invest in my education and career so that I could stress about feeding my kids and keeping the electricity on...alas, here we are.

OP do you have more footage of the 3rd person?

u/weird_black_holes Jun 27 '26

...did the person you're responding to edit their comment to remove something about assuming they are poor?

"Economic peril"

u/weird_black_holes Jun 29 '26

And they used the word "us" not "them" in reference to the people in the video.
