So nothing relevant to the discussion. Got it.

There is a massively conservative movement lurking in the left, which opposes any new advances and wants people to return to subsistence farming and shit. Same kind of people that argue against having kids to gut the population worldwide

Those people aren’t even worth arguing with. They’re not the people that will show up to do any work to accomplish policy objectives. They aren’t serious, their objections will never be listened to, and they don’t actually want to make anything better.

It’s just tradwife-homesteader fantasizing, just with a different economic view and less (but not 0) racism.

Well you will love it there, then. Go hang out there.

One can steal Intellectual Property, so physicality of something isn’t exactly a real argument.

I’m pirate shit too, and support this decision. One can pirate shit and still realize most people pirating shit are just people stealing.

You know what I hadn’t considered abandonware, and I will def gladly concede both that point and supplying to “blacklist” countries that ban media.

My ABC is directly a response to a person wondering why I wouldn’t want channers hanging around

Lay down with dogs and end up with flees. Piracy is always one web search away. It’s hilariously easy.

If you don’t understand connection between chans, torrent sites, and piracy aggregation idk what to tell you man.

I’ve pirated a ton in my time but I’m sane enough to realize

A) it’s fuckin stealing, which is always wrong, but often largely victimless with digital media

B) allowing it on your aggregator sites invites problems of all kinds

C) if you are blindly pirating shit and trusting torrents you are part of a botnet and don’t know it

I’m fine with 4chan-like communities peacing out

Ethical piracy lmao

The internet never ceases to amaze
