The Democrat Party, AKA The Party of Plunder, Is Now All-In on Shoplifting, Celebrating Rich White Bitches' "Microlooting" Expensive Food from Whole Foods

We wouldn't want Princess to have to scale back on her lifestyle, so we should overlook Princess' sticky fingers in grocery stores.

Communist jihadist assassination-cheerleader -- and now fully accredited and accepted Democrat Party influencer -- Hasan Piker couldn't wait to endorse more communist looting of the capitalists.

A longtime staff writer for the New Yorker known for bashing capitalism bragged that she has stolen from her local Whole Foods "on several occasions" in a New York Times podcast.

Jia Tolentino, 37, made the shocking admission while joining left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and Times' opinion culture editor Nadja Spiegelman for a Wednesday episode about so-called "microlooting" from mega-corporations.

She looks Asian despite the Italian last name but I'm going to apply Ivy League Admissions rules: You're white enough, bitch.

Besides, in the next article I'll link, rich white bitches are talking up how great shoplifting is.

Examples tossed around by the trio ranged from everyday consumers sharing passwords for streaming services to brazen criminals pilfering paintings from the Louvre Museum.

When Spiegelman suggested pocketing produce from Whole Foods, Tolentino confessed she already had "on several occasions."

The scribe said one of her duties as a member of her ritzy Brooklyn neighborhood's mutual aid group was to buy groceries for one of her neighbors, Miss Nancy.

"And so I'd be getting Miss Nancy all of her groceries, and then I would finish, and I'd be like, oh my God, four lemons, I forgot four lemons. And on several occasions I was like, I'm just going to go back in, grab those four lemons and get the hell out," Tolentino said.

"At the time I was like, I had not been to Whole Foods. I had a bit more consumer discipline about where I was spending my money then, and I already felt like I was in the hole, even by shopping there. And it certainly felt, in a utilitarian sense, I was like, this is not a big deal," she added.

...

Piker then brushed aside her apparent shoplifting, saying that mega-corporations like Whole Foods have already "factored in" the loss of simple produce so that it won't impact their bottom line.

Ah, the Ghetto Democrat line that it's okay to rob stores during riots because "they're insured." (No, they're not. Almost no one insures their stock. Stealing it is just taking money out of their pockets. And even if it were insured, you'd be forcing them to pay higher insurance rates.)

Piker, a self-proclaimed Communist, also endorsed "full chaos" of shoppers "stealing wantonly" and wholly bypassing the self-checkout machines.

When pressed on stealing from government-run grocery stores, like one planned by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Piker and Tolentino faltered.

"No, I would not, because I feel like that's taxpayer-funded, it's union labor, and the prices are also adjusted regardless," Piker said.

From Instapundit, which also links this article from Hot Air about New York magazine celebrating shoplifting as Empowering for Princess.

At Whole Foods, you are apparently being monitored by a swarm of security officers, some of whom wander the aisles in plain clothes, and the company's surveillance tech is improving. When security officers catch you, they will take you to Whole Foods Jail. Sometimes with glee.

The Union Square Whole Foods jail is a windowless storage closet near the entrance, says Astrid, a photographer. She mostly remembers the wallpaper: "Layers and layers of grainy faces," she tells Nora Deligter. "All the thieves that had come before me."

A sculptor we'll call Gina found herself in the Bowery Whole Foods Jail. She was late to an Alex G concert at Bowery Ballroom and had decided to slip into Whole Foods for a quick spicy-tuna-roll walk-and-dine. She had a system: Approach the item with confidence, grab it, then head upstairs to the dining area and surreptitiously place it into her bag. But this time, she headed straight for the exit. "A rookie mistake," Gina says.

Gina remembers keeping her head bowed and her eyes low as she was escorted back to Whole Foods Jail. The windowless office was almost too bland to recall, she says, except for a rudimentary banner, that read: ALL SHOPLIFTERS ARE BANNED FROM WHOLE FOODS FOR LIFE. A few weeks later, Gina says her parents received a $90 ticket in the mail from the company.

New York Magazine gives a glowing profile of one such shoplifter, and decries the fact that Whole Foods seems to have a problem with people stealing its food.

How cruel! She was made late to a concert. She paid a lot for those tickets!

Oh, by the way: Hasan Piker again justified the murder of Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione.

You know, someone associated with the right is going to decide that the left's assassination rules should also apply to the left, and start shooting lefties.

And the lefties are going to demand responsible voices on the right to condemn this.

And we're all going to say: "No. Go fuck yourselves in the heart with a knife. Pay for expensive private security and take your fucking chances the way you make everyone on the right take their fucking chances."

Helter Skelter, baby.
