Sure. If looting resulted in redistributing the stolen goods to the less fortunate people, a la robinhood. Not this looting where opportunists loot stuff to make personal money out of an injustice, giving everyone a bad name. These looters are like a lynch mob waiting for an opportunity/justification to lynch somebody. They don’t lynch for justice, they just lynch for their personal pleasure under the safe cover of justice.
Where did I say I defend capitalism? Oh so if I say I don’t like these looters that means I’m a capitalist? You are able to read the comment and figure out it’s not capitalistic, but still label me as defending capitalism, that’s on you.
Which is a dumb premise - just because a person might not support looting (and rightfully so) doesn’t mean you support capitalism. The opinions on the two matters aren’t mutually exclusive.
Flip the logic the other way: if you support, say, socialism for example (i.e. anything that’s not capitalist), does that mean you support looting? If I support looting, does that mean I am a left-leaning communist?
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.

For a guy defending capitalism you sure like pushing communism.

You compared looters to lynch mobs. You’re clearly not on the side of the common person
My dude, did you even check what thread you’re on? The whole premise is defense against looting is defense of capitalism.
