Nestlé products taste good. Does my Nestlé boycott still count if I steel it?

Are you saying you wouldn’t steal from Nestle?

I wouldn’t steel from anybody, but if you want to make it the lorry problem, yes I would rather steal from an evil company than a less evil.

Doesn’t mean I start stealing.

Only if you’re borrowing the hot chocolate and allow them to walk into your kitchen and repossess it whenever they want.

Only if you steal directly from Nestle.

I feel the argument is a little different when it comes to physical goods.

Stealing a Nestlé product takes away revenue just like if it were left on the shelf, never purchased, and discarded by the shop. The main benefit there is the edible portion of the product doesn’t end up in a landfill.

It’s the same when I look at my dignity. When I boycott a company or a specific product, I don’t even want it for free.

No more Rolo, even when it is a gift.

If more people held themselves accountable, these products wouldn’t exist. I know it can be an awkward situation to deny a gift for ethical reasons. Kudos to you.

What would you say to vegan activists that break into farms and steal animals? That’s wrong too because they are boycotting the meat industry?
