According to Lemmy poor people who have done not harm to others have the same morals that poor people that hurt others.
I personally know a homeless person that have never steal or hurt. And several poor people with homes but small income that have stab and steal.
According to some out of touch lemmings those two person are morally equivalent.

I guess you can always find “some” people that can fit with your strawman, doesn’t really make it a valid argument.
“Some people” on Lemmy think the earth is flat. “Some” are pedophiles. “Some” are even Republicans. That doesn’t mean they are correct or common.

Oh no! You put republicans in my showerthoughts. Oh, that’s a strange mix.
I think I’m gonna puke.

What are you implying is the strawman?
The millions of honest and dishonest poor people? Or the statically significant lemmings that agree with “all poor are good because they are poor” ?

The part were you say a significant amount of people on Lemmy think that stabbing others is morally correct if you’re poor.
And just to be clear, in not implying, I’m telling it plain and open.

? Pretty sure that’s not what they said.
They said that there are people on Lemmy who think a person who stabs someone vs a person who doesn’t are morally equivalent—as long as they’re both poor.
Very different.
They did also say that there are poor people who stab others and blame their actions on being poor, but that was tangential to their main point about judging the morals of a person solely based on their wealth or lack thereof.
