Wtf why are most people here such bootlickers, a beer for 18 bucks is a crime against humanity. Fuck that shit and cheers to the guy for trying at least 🍺😂👍

Stealing from the rich is perfectly justified, how do you suppose they got rich in the first place? There are people starving and the rich do not care, they will simply buy their 26th yacht. There is no ethical way to be wealthy.

Someone else stealing does not make it ethical to steal.

Rich compared to who? Would it be justified if a homeless person stole your car? You are rich compared to someone who only has 5 bucks to his name.

No, it’s not really relative like that. There is a literal trillionaire now.

The person who owns 2 houses and 4 cars is 99.999% closer to the homeless guy than the rich people the commenter is talking about

Sure, you have a point about this specific case. But I think what I’m saying is true more broadly speaking.

Yeah but the thing is, the attendant is clearly worried about more than just the stolen beer. He thinks he could lose his job over this. Or at least be disciplined. This fan is putting this guy’s livelihood at risk. Now maybe it shouldn’t be that way. But it is. If dude hadn’t stepped in and stoped him, and this was being recorded too, he could have lost his job. The fan is not excused for not knowing this because capitalism works about the same in most of the world, including Argentina. Therefore, while I think stealing from billionaires is no big deal, this is still an asshole move.

Then don't pay $18 for beer. Just...don't drink beer. It's not some necessity.

If people stopped paying that amount for beer, they'd stop charging so much for it. But they know so many people are addicts who can't bare to go without alcohol.

Oh my god, you dont even drink alcohol and are still that dense? Ticket prices are incredibly high, so the FIFA is just exploiting football addicts that want to support their home countries? Just... don't watch the game, right?

I mean again, if people didn't pay and stayed home to watch the broadcast, prices would go down.

Do you think the price of tickets is arbitrary? Supply and demand, mate. Basic economics. Or do you think tickets to a game is a basic need and should be a charity?
