Right-wingers as usual wanting to eradicate the past so that they can claim dumb shit like "there were no concentration camps". And yet they call themselves "conservatives". What a joke.

Ain’t nothin’ less conservative than a Conservative

the internet was awesome for like ... twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden...

It's been going to shit since like, 2015? I think that's about when ad blockers became a necessity to just read any website on the internet. Maybe a few years before that.

  1. Maybe 2009~2009. Mobile devices lowering the bar for entry has been apocalyptic.

It’s not an internet thing, or even a technology thing. This is an example of the general debasement of society wrought through half a century of rampant sociopathic neoliberal shitfuckery.

One place I’d like to see this start to be corrected, is treating what is currently understood to be intellectual property as the intrinsically abundant resource it is, instead of the artificially scarce, zero-sum concept it’s currently encrusted as.

Looking back now there were some signs but boy that escalated quickly

I guess the big question that lies under this whole debate is "can someone own our culture and rent it back to us", and "do works of art have meaning and value beyond monetary value"

I doubt furries would approve of record label lawsuits.

as a furry, you're right but - why?

[–] john89@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Glad they have all this excess to use against the people that gave it to them.

Glad the people that gave it to them gave it to them instead of helping out those who actually need it.

Great world.

I hope they got a plan to move to a different country

Are major record labels furries?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen a lot of furry hatred, but comparing them to record labels might be the worst.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

I wasn't comparing them to that. Making a joke about the 621 in the lawsuit amount. It's a furry-associated number.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

i read the whole article and still have no idea what this has to do with furries.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

It's just a joke about the 621.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

621 is more or less the site they go to for seeing the illustrations of dog dicks that they're so fond of.
