I would wager the capitalists with billions of dollars have a bit easier time passing legislation than any of us commoners do.

They are the force.

I'm just saying if everyone that steals from Walmart then goes online to tell everyone that they stole, and everyone pats them on the back, don't be so surprised when Walmart invests to have officers guarding the exit, and pushes some mandatory minimum sentences to make shoplifting harder and riskier.

You're right. They do. Unless we act as one.

In the mean time we should probably agree to not talk about committing crimes on the Internet eh?

[–] Quexotic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm talking about pooling money and hiring our own lobbyists. That should be illegal, but since it's not, we should leverage it.

This is not fight club. I'm absolutely not talking about anything criminal.

Thanks for the good laugh though.

....do you pirate movies,music, games, or books?

[–] Quexotic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No. Pirating media hurts creators by cutting their revenue, which can limit future content production. It's also illegal, posing legal risks to you. Ethically, it's about respecting the work and rights of those who create. Plus, pirated content often comes with malware risks. Better to support creators and stay on the right side of the law.
