Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

The Shoplifting ‘Epidemic’ is a Lie (www.currentaffairs.org)

The media might want us to think society is wracked by a shoplifting ‘epidemic’ or ‘crisis,’ but when we take a look at the facts, it’s obvious that isn’t true.

I've never really seen shoplifting talked about in the media, aside from articles saying it's not true.

...then again I don't look.

It's been a GIANT subject on right-wing social media. You know, they only true news source left in America. (/s? do I need a /s?)

I see you don't have a Fox News family.

We don't have cable TV channels. ...but they are definitely Trumpers. They don't use social media though except YouTube.

It's a struggle; glad you were spared at least this BS. Stay strong, comrade.

Probably something in local papers in some corner of some country.

every store I walk into everything is locked up in a case so someone seems to think it's happening. Or they want people to think it's happening.
