Okay, that can be what you attribute it to, but you’re in the minority and the vast majority of poor people, both in rich countries and globally, are pro-social and don’t steal.

Just like you might set fires because you’re stressed, but plenty of stressed people don’t set fires. Or you might serial kill because you had a bad upbringing, yet majority of people don’t serial kill even if they had a bad childhood. In fact, most people who suffer abuse, tend to UNDO and prevent that same abuse happening to others. So if you’re poor, you tend to not want to hurt others financially either. The poor understand the actual value of a meal and a dollar.

So whatever reason you give yourself to abuse or be antisocial, is simply an excuse and not a cause.

And this is at the true schism of leftist rhetoric and true non-violence: when is violence acceptable? When is being antisocial acceptable? I don’t have the answers. I can understand why someone responds to violence with violence, yet I think it only makes things worse.
