Because it’s easier to question the desperate than the powerful… flips the whole perspective when you think about it.

    Typically, when you are "stealing bread", the implication is that you're taking it from someone equally needy. Capitalist propaganda loves to frame the theft of bread as an attack on low-wage grocery store workers, middle-income truckers and assistant managers, and impoverished agricultural workers.

    You never see "stealing bread" framed against the backdrop of a garbage dumpster with a lock on it, to prevent people from taking food that's been thrown in the trash.
