I'm responding to someone else and you crazies keep defending each other.

I’m actually just contributing to a conversation on the internet because I apparently feel strongly about this. Legitimately not tryna to attack you because I think you’re just explaining the premise the dude in OP’s pic has.

That sounds a little left leaning communist to me. But you didn't say that so I get you might have a different opinion.

I didn’t say it, but you’re also cherry-picking statements of the other dude to prove a point. Consider they said this:

Not this looting where opportunists loot stuff to make personal money out of an injustice, giving everyone a bad name.

Which, unfortunately, is what looting is a vast majority of the time - so can you say they support looting if they said they only support it in a specific context and not a general sense?

Do they support looting in an oddly naive and idealistic scenario? Yes. Do they support left-leaning beliefs? Seems like it. Are the two things related to one another? Not a chance - which I also get you’re just pointing out the premise from the dude in OP’s pic, but I just really think it’s a fucking dumb take for the guy in OP’s pic to have.
