> Being poor doesn't lead you to becoming a criminal.
You're misunderstanding. Not all poor people are criminals, however, being poor is a motivating factor in crime.
> Being taught that everyone is against you, that you are a victim, and that you are being oppressed does lead to crime
Leftist rhetoric doesn't actually state "everyone is against you", sorry buddy. In fact, there's over 100+ years of leftist rhetoric and writing stating the exact opposite -- "we are stronger as a a community". Right wing rhetoric and views absolutely parrot "everyone is against you". This is why left wing circles create mutual aid groups (to benefit the community), and right wing circles create... well.. do they actually create anything? Has anything notable come out of incel circles that isn't "school shooters"?
> In other words, the current fashion for leftist politics is to supply justifications for stealing, so long as you steal from someone who has more than you do.
The majority of theft that outweighs all other theft by the measure of billions is theft of labour, though. So who are we to complain when people start stealing in response?
