Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

The difference is that retail workers aren't tasked with enforcing the law, cops are.
When "good" cops don't speak up about cops violating the law they're actually putting their jobs on hold for the benefit of bad cops.
Retail workers aren't paid to enforce behavior, they're paid to sell consumer goods. If 1000 "good" retail workers stopped working just to support 10 bad ones, they would be 1010 bad ones. But 1000 retailer workers who ignore the lazy guys and keep selling stuff are doing their jobs just fine.
