Fun fact: ppl act the way they do for a reason.
In the industry we love using the 5 whys to get to the bottom of an issue. I just wish folks would apply the same to their daily life.
1) Why did this man steal your car?
> Because he's poor.
2) Why is this man poor?
> Because his previous job paid too little.
3) Why did his previous job pay so little?
> Because he can only accept terms of a contract, try to find a better contract, or face homelessness
4) Why does he have to make that terrible choice?
> Because there is a power disparity between the employer and the employee
5) Why is there a power disparity between the employer and the employee?
> Because employees, despite being the real wealth creators, do not have any oversight and democratic control over their workplace.
A society that rewards theft will breed thieves. The alpha thief being the capitalist. Thats why "the west is falling"; it's only sowing the seeds of its destruction.

People who aren't as well off as you aren't automatons without agency, driven by their base desires. This is proven by the people without cushy IT jobs you meet every day who don't choose to rob you every chance they get.

In Republics where there is a valid class compromise, or where there is class domination by the working class, you don't see all those violent issues.
