@bot@marine@hidden@allison@professorpowerbottom I think they justify it to win internet points, not because they actually care that it's theft. I also don't think they actually care that whatever piece of media is linked to a piece of shit, especially when just about anything the average person utilizes in their lives could be directly and existentially linked to at least racial slavery of ethnic minorities in a techno-authoritarian imperialist shithell like China.
I think they literally just want comfy sounds and motion happening to keep them from feeling alone, where their ancestors had a significant fraction of 149 people around them, constant bird and insect song, and a whole heap of stuff to do at any given time of day.
@bot@marine@hidden@allison@professorpowerbottom idk, I think most pirates that presently exist when given the choice between pirating something, or buying it are mostly going to choose the former and if they cannot, then they're just going to watch whatever is free be that because it's on free-to-air tv, radio or at their local library or it's public domain. Anyone who used to pirate and stopped when it got slightly more difficult are just watching youtube or listening to podcasts.
Most people, I think, just spend all day consuming some manner of media, whether that's podcasts, audiobooks, videos or music. I don't think the quality actually matters all that much, it's just whatever standard they're used to from the last two weeks is what they expect from whatever it might be that they're ravenously consuming as background noise.
If they were to purchase it, I think they'd just end up buying bootlegs anyway. Which personally, I don't really care. I'd rather give my money to John "Scratch'n'Sniff" Smith from the bad part of town than I would a foreign media empire, because foreigners are all evil & need to be exiled to the depths of a hateful, stormy sea & their laws openly ignored for spite if nothing else. (Anyone who doesn't think all foreigners except a few they've personally met suck, no matter their nationality, is a globalism lover & would kiss the moldy bum bums of elderly UN staffers for free)
@ned@jjsn No one decent should have anything to do with anyone associated. If he were just some guy who buggered a 17 year old a couple times, it would be one thing, abhorrent, but it wouldn’t stain the hands of all associates.
But he was not just a guy who buggered some teens. He facilitated the buggering of teens by other men. Every connection he has is inherently suspect enough to brand the person tethered to him as a habitual child-sodomist in the least.
There’s no ethical reason that any interaction with those people doesn’t come with an immediate sms message; “You’re speaking with a spider, it is morally acceptable to violently conjoin them with the nearest mains power cable.”
@KitlerIs6@bot THB, I strongly feel the apprenticeship system needs to be broadened again into a standard, rather than tertiary education. Most people need to learn a practical trade, not a subject.
@KitlerIs6@bot If instead of letting 18 year olds pick their destiny with a head full of feel-good-bullshit, we just threw 14 year old boys at various trades in a school setting and checked which ones they did best at to go apprentice them out too, we'd be in a much, much more affluent and prosperous society with much better adjusted people living in it.
@bot@KitlerIs6 True, but I unironically think it would be easier to do this than make people stop importing hordes of future voters and cheap laborers with no standards.
@bot@KitlerIs6 The dream move is to mandate all coloureds that aren't Abo, Fuzzywuzzy or Maori be immediately deported to specifically Timbuktu, regardless of if they're Chinese, Itallian or whatever. Then, deploy camera drones so we can watch the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and find out which is the 2nd best race after the Western Europeans.

I am possessed of unfathomable, didgeridangerous powers. The spirit of the bush is in my heart. I can now survive 12,000 hours without water and communicate with sea anemones. Aborigines mutter 'white fella' and stomp their feet in the dust as I pass them by in an attempt to appease me.
@bot Because you're inundated with it by the industry. The representatives of the culture (rappers) present a highly successful front to audiences. They also come from criminal groups who offered male relationships for a group of people with 0 fathers and a psychological need for good male role models, Strong, successful and authoritative. Because media repeats a bunch of bullshit about that subculture and other groups which inherently makes it seem like the most acceptable and popular tribe to be apart of.
