Idk how we're so sensitive to sexual consent as a culture but seem to completely lack the concept of economic consent

There is a looting in downtown Minneapolis every single day. Downtown is, in fact, a monument to looting. It doesn’t look like broken glass and missing mannequins. It looks like US Bank Stadium & the Wells Fargo Center & the high rises & city hall.

To clarify - the very important distinction between looting and businesses is that one operates on consent of the customers, the other does not. But it's like people aren't even aware that the difference in consent is important here??

I don't see how most people affected meaningfully consented to e.g. the 2008 bailout, which - combined with an enforced taxation regime and a fiat currency - actually transferred quite a bit of wealth to the "winners," in a way that was ultimately backed by state violence.
