you’re happy to steal from people, you just want to call it something else to obfuscate your guilt.

I see this all the time. it’s fucking dumb. you’re either lying to yourself and deluded, or trying to lie to me.

So to answer your query: you, you’re the dumb one.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk, gonna block you now because your inane messages aren’t worth the electrons used to transmit their content.

yeah I really don’t want a future of dueling militias. hard pass.

Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential

but ok, if that’s your bar for toxicity, shrug. report away.

like a militia? or a lynch mob?

there was a laundry list of American government-backed big industry supporting German and Italian Fascists even after the bombing of Pearl Harbor

I was aware of some of this from reading “The Arms of Krupp” someone on Lemmy pointed me to, but not the extent on the US side. Great link tyvm.

I worry that more decentralization in us law enforcement would be even worse. It’s far too easy for violent cops to shuffle from agency to agency with a paid vacation between bouts of oppression.

We don’t even have standards for major things like rules of engagement with deadly force aligned nationwide. Further decentralization sounds a bit terrifying.

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity

yep, kindly point out where I’m doxing, trolling, sealioning, being racist or toxic. I don’t need to be friendly to someone being willfully ignorant, and none of this exchange has met those bars.

being willfully ignorant of the harm being done to artists ability to pay their bills and you can’t comprehend how it’s theft.

damn that’s dumb.

oh, so you copied all the answers on your exams?

pfft. quit it kiddo, you’re not equipped for this.

yep. or if your preacher tells you to forgive the molesters they exposed you to, or that the cops just made a perfectly understandable oopsie and beat you nearly to death but hey forgive and forget - no.

the victims should make that decision, no one else.

I get it, you’ll care when they get around to stealing your work.

cool story bro.

imaginary friend

yeah this is one that gets me, and doubles down with “if you don’t believe in my invisible friend, you must be allied with their invisible nemesis!”

like, fuck mate, I don’t believe in your god, why would I believe in your devil? ffs

don’t demonize tools,

if the tool builders stole your work to create them, never compensated the creators, didn’t even ask them - I suspect you’d feel differently. it’s gross and people are like “well, it’s just artists what do we need them for?”

Victims should be the ones to decide whether forgiveness is deserved. no one else.

I am screaming into a pillow at the image of Americans prepping for the apocalypse while doing zero things to avoid it.

amen

and game like deer seems abundant.

it even may be, when game isn’t the primary source of protein - but once it becomes so, the fields will be empty.

Why wouldn’t you trust the american airspace?

jfc this is the worst timeline

The Sims for me is either 1800s Utah polygamous Mormons, post apocalyptic Handmaid’s Tale scenarios, or prisons.

lolwtf
