     @aral and it's kinda working. For the first time in a long while people start to care about content quality, legitimacy and intellectual property.

     It's almost like #accelerationism works?

     @wraptile I’m drawing attention to the logical fallacy behind the argument that we must destroy something for people to care about it (or, even worse, that we defend our destruction of said thing as altruism to bring about the aforementioned effect).

     And get lost with that “agenda” talk. You’re barking up the wrong tree.

     @aral yes! It's called the "comfort zone" and I'm not sure whether you're being wilfully ignorant or have some sort of agenda?
