I Think Online Retailers Like Amazon, Temu & TikTok Shop Are Contributing to the Retail Theft Crisis In Order to Shut Down Their Competition

It may be a schizo theory but I believe that some of the biggest online retailers have some part in this by either paying gangs of thieves and shoplifters to ranksack stores & steal as much as they can, and/or buying the stolen merch for pennies on the dollar and reselling it on their sites (or have the gangs do it themselves so the site still gets commission from each sale).

PLUS these websites are lobbying and paying off lawmakers to create new laws to let shoplifters go & get off with a slap on the wrist while punishing those who intervene or try to stop them.

The problem with paying niggers to act more niggery is that now they already have your money and didn't have to do anything for it. Nor should you ever expect them to.

That said, organizing and baiting them into flash mob looting sprees by utilizing social media seems like it would be extremely easy to do.

I think coming up with theories like this is how we explain away what we don’t know/understand. I really believe that the mega corporations are all part of the “making money out of this air” scheme and that’s how it seems like they have unlimited budgets and get away with the ridiculous waste they all seem to have. I’m still working on what the real deal is with all that. My current focus is defeating the damn local government and all its bullshit.

They all get paid by the various gov agencies to spy on you.

That Temu stuff is junk.
I took a week to shop and managed $60.
I was not happy with any of the shit and requested a return/refund.
I got a full refund and got to keep the shit,they didn't want any of it back.
I'm up to 4 orders with full refunds and a pile of Chyna junk

it's great reset phase 2 in coordination with inflation.. far bigger than just those companies lol. inflation kills off all small businesses most of which are food businesses (who tf is going to buy a $7 coffee soon etc.), paid for gangs and purposely relaxed laws help kill the big stores so they have justification to move everything online, convert all former commercial places into residential to create tight 15 min cities fed by robotaxi deliveries for everything coming from warehouses in the industrial area.

Then you have mainstream media to fan the flames. It's not a stretch to say they're all in cahoots, deliberate or not, in their instinctive jewish lightning schemes

My theory is that the corporate owners of retail chains are organizing the looting of their under-performing stores. That way they collect insurance on inventory they couldn't sell, and don't have to pack it up and transport it to a warehouse or another store when the shut down that location.

If I was the insurer being asked to pay one of these “claims” from a retailer I would explain that your losses aren’t covered by us because theft is not a crime in your area. Claim denied!

But then their insurance rates go up & stay high because they're in a high risk area & underperforming which means more manpower & money to keep it open to sell off some of the inventory which keeps getting delivered no matter if the store doesn't sell it - they just send it back to corporate & they send to other stores that WILL SELL IT -even if it's at loss - just to get rid of inventory that won't move -because the costs of destroying non-sellable inventory is cheaper than keeping it stored in a warehouse to sell at a later time - could be months, could be decades - but storing decades worth of shit in hopes that'll it come back in style 20-40 years later is a non-guarantee no matter what. People won't want it by then and/or the prices will be so high that no one can afford them.
