The title of the post shows the similarities of stealing and foraging. Both have in their actions what we basically all do: 'bring, take, get, collect, pile up'... something under different #circumstances and #environments for ourselves or others, near and far.

The morality is different for stealing but much of it the the same in life (as uncomfortable as that sounds!) when it's for yourself or family (or government using everyone's money to wage #wars / 🏦 paying for wars elsewhere / military industrial complex / #USPol etc).

This post outlines a tone showing it's the environment mainly that determines if actions are bad or good (which people can deliberately setup as the overall good or bad shell). So what defines if you are stealing for me?

➡️ Stealing if existing system is about scarcity / not loving people (then lead people to steal in some form (legally formed stealing company or state or other stealing from people).

Often both people and #planet #robbed / resources are "moved" elsewhere!)

or

➡️ foraging (if existing system is about growing people AND PLANET not cut-throat profit-priority TAKING AWAY EVERYTHING forcing people #conform / steal with $tates).

To forage is where a previous #generation or two have made it a priority to preserve and ADD things for people in the future to forage (trees, bushes, water pools, lead a simple life of fetching things rather than convert it to money-using objects etc).

A BETTER 'EFFICIENCY' WORKING WITH PEOPLE EVEN "STEALERS"??

I think you can #mutually use each other better to do more actions (I think that's what governments take advantage of in bad people) but importantly under a better environment....

Think of dogs and raising them in a fight club for dog fights or having them fed and watered while giving them options of things to fetch or people to go running with (people have dogs for these simple reasons sometimes).

People as a better " #EcoDiversity " (or some such term) comes into it for those that can do more and having #Diverse abilities to do bit of everything. A dog that can do more, some that just like running...

The problem is about being fed and housed enough, as the basic that hold people together, so people need not feel they have to steal or forage too hard (this is a hard #fact of #life and hard to bypass as some people will still do too much of even the nicest work or stab people in the back... but imagine most are nice dogs or through generational improvement could be turned from fighting dogs to much more pleasant runners. (behaviour over time / #epigenetics)

The #environment is the key mostly, like epigenetics and evolution through #habits... IF the rich and elite could ease up A BIT the horrendous profits they take from people and spend on them instead, so we could all get along a bit more and 'steal' / forage more properly together for each other. And even enjoy the time in city, field or wherever.

A bit like the lords and estates or feudal times but as benevolent dictator. It's a big of a dream I know but we've had flavours of them all that we could just stick with. It shows we able to do it, under a whip or under an incentive or bounty.

Not easy or realistic for your tastes, with profits perhaps coming from generation of screwing people, but I see #nature as saving us because it gives us what to do, what to get, grow, water, dig etc. Now more than ever.

Without being fed or housing (and without uncomplicated government growing things) then we revert to stealing of some kind what little is left or from other countries (wonder why #war continues?)...

Under nature we could find what to do... moving / stealing hay or whatever #environment we're in. If people are in a cut-throat banking system then stealing on the street is a direct reflection of those barriers (#banks choose who and how to give money and it's VERY political - good projects don't stand a chance to get funding / startup finance).

My thoughts are that if you enable the bad people you can still actually get the good out of them (both willingly and as knowing each others tendencies towards #productivity if better environments can be found).

ℹ️ For example - People who steal are just good at fetching things and accumulating (the basis of almost all work, legit or not)

Yes it is wrong is some sense but the actions can be seen simply as "bring and get"...

If it's all about pubs on Friday as an environment (and #profit for #government get the tax boost on the weekends) then it's only going to lead to a mess and poor #culture.

So if you can feed people enough (so they don't feel their life is in danger or depressed that they need money so much) then to 'forage' instead of steal can achieved together more harmoniously somewhere.

We all need a bit of thrill, adventure, physical exercise working with people occasionally, feel part of a unit etc...

I admit this is today with the overall crimes of the past (Governments are robbers themselves) then it's hard not to call anybody bad who works for them (we are all paying them as money 'disappears' or sorry 'we don't have enough and have to steal from this other pot, again'.

You always have to watch out for back-stabber but mostly if fed and housed people will do small and big work... Its true fed and housed is not priority of most #Government (they rather change with companies and reap/rape the profit) but this is another 'overall problem' or Meta problem that people have to understand.

Yes there are people that steal for kicks and just to hoard stuff.

No there are people that steal because there is nothing else to do, or literally is similar in morality as working in a call centre for an insurance company or bank.

Love for everyone in the creation and #access.

It can be hard to remember absolutely everyone (even to this post picture) but remembering and practising with others help developing better #habits for the way!

It is possible to add #AltText or take advice.

#FreeSchool hashtag is about developing 'Better people' so that #habits are the way towards that 'better' with people's own logic and understanding along the way how it #includes everyone.

#Accessibility for people... 10 Ideas

1. Prioritize #information about accessibility for all your events and #workplace.

2. If you come across an #event that does not have accessibility information mentioned, contact the organizers to include it.

3. #Value disabled expertise.

4. Include #image #descriptions and #AltText on your #socialmedia posts.

5. Make sure video and audio content you create or use has #captions and/or #transcripts available.

6. #CapitalizingEachWordInYourHashtagHelpsScreenReaders

7. Access Check-ins: Along with names and pronouns, you can include an access check-in when you’re doing introductions.

8. Use Content Notices (called #ContentWarning or CW on Mastodon) for posts that contain content that may be emotionally taxing, harmful, triggering or traumatizing.

9. #Encourage your people!

10. #Expanding What “Access” Means

Why these thngs?
When it comes to #access and #accessibility for people, these are a handful of basic suggestions as a very good start to helping type of audience:
