Looting is bad

Looting is bad

It's bad when the right does it.

It's bad when the left does it. 

Don't loot. 

If you find yourself on a team that is participating in looting, consider that you are quite likely the bad guys. 

Even if the overall cause is just, you must strongly and loudly disavow the looters and do your best to stop them because if you don't, it will hurt the rest of your cause. 

You will have lost all of your moral high ground. 

Don't steal. 

This is like, the most basic of ethical principles.

I had a friend who was a child soldier in Sierra Leone, and he once participated in looting because he was starving. 

And that was still bad! 

That food was going to be given out to the starving, and instead him and his gang took it and ate some of it themselves, and sold the rest for drugs and weapons. 

Don't. Loot. 

Duh.

Referring to the looting happening in England right now, which is shameful and dumb and reminding me that while I'm more often exposed to the far left, and they drive me nuts, I also am rather not a fan of the far right either. 

Probably because there is no such thing as a left-to-right spectrum, but rather, just left tribe and right tribe. So saying "far right" is just saying "extremely loyal to the right tribe". 

And extremely tribal people are much more prone to extreme behavior.
