No one has articulated it well. It’s all just “meta bad”. Can’t we just defederate if they pull some crap and be no worse off than we are now?

Why do you think? He’s a right wing fascist asshole

Lol, downvote this guy for pointing out that it might not make sense for your company to pay for your personal projects

I don’t want to get into an argument about why an enormous border wall covering our entire southern border that mexico pays for won’t fix our illegal entry problem.

As to why they built new wall? I have no idea. Maybe Biden realized he was wrong and some wall in some places helps. Maybe there was some bureaucratic reason it got built without him knowing or approving. Edit: read the article again, second reason doesn’t seem likely

If you want to see democrats losing their minds over this, you won’t. Most people ignore these things from their own side. Others see it but will give him a pass because this likely isn’t an overall shift in strategy towards a giant wall project

According to Democrats, border wall construction is a terrible solution to the problem. Maybe in limited circumstances? Can’t say if this is good or not, but my gut says it’s pointless, just like Trump’s wall.

The problem is that pirates are mostly full of shit. They just don’t want to pay. It’s that simple. Everything else is an attempt to rationalize.

Lol ok, that’s what happened. 👌

There was no NATO aggression. The response doesn’t make sense anyways. It only strengthens NATO. Are you actually Russian? I can’t make any other sense of your stance here

Why thank you good sir

Are you intentionally ignoring the point?

What aggression? See Ukraine

Lol, lemmygrad. GTFO with your bullshit

Maybe they do care? Maybe they realize agreeing to terms that give land to Russia means they will be back to take more?

Probably the tired line of NATO expansion fears. How’d that work out? Does Russia have more or less NATO countries near their borders? The invasion itself is the best sales pitch NATO could ever need.

I think he was asking if you notice this happening more in general interactions with others, not in yourself. Can’t tell if this is a good example of what he’s talking about.

Aaaaand there’s the troll we were talking about

People just want shit for free and don’t want to feel bad about taking it

Lol, no. I’m not paying for that poem. You just published it on a public forum. Besides, I don’t want it. I’m not going to copy it or distribute it. If I want what you made and you put a price on it, I either pay for it or go do something else. Your example doesn’t make any sense and I’m not going to sit here and explain it to you any further.

I’ll leave it here. IP doesn’t exist. If it’s digital it should be free. Follow that to its logical end and maybe we arrive at the same reality.

Bullshit. What happens if everyone steals it? Is that cool for the creator? I’m sure they won’t feel like anything was stolen from them since you can’t physically hold it

Lol, the copium. If you pirate digital goods, you are stealing. Just own it. It’s not the same as physically robbing a store, but it’s still theft. We don’t have to feel bad for the mega corp making less money, but I also don’t have to buy your bullshit excuse for doing it
