        My mother is also a prime example of piracy hypocrisy.

        Piracy bad

        and about 1 week later after having complained about the electricity bill my server incurs:

        Can you get me this show?

    Not communism! I’m afraid of it threatening trade, free elections, and my individual freedoms.

    Certainly unchecked capitalism will save us!

      I’d download anything I could get my Commie mitts on.

      That old thing about “Would you download a car?” Goddamn right I would.

        iirc they had to change it from “download” to “steal” because the overwhelming response was “hell yeah I’d download a car!” XD

    This poster seems to indicate that piracy and/or communism are bad things. They are not. Capitalism is a bad thing (unless you are at the top 10% of the wealthiest people on earth). A bit of an imbalance that is not good. When I say ‘poster’ I mean the image (like posters they used to sell at K-Mart), not the person who posted.

      Only good communism is good. Because of the most common “communism” in reality is a dictatorship regime masked under this ideology.

        No one system is perfect. Humans can’t be pinned down and are often at odds with their own beliefs. The best we can shoot for is “Communish” and “Socialish” and just try our best to look out for one another and the planet.

          Nevermind. I just mocked a little bit people who believe that they can create a system that will be good for everyone.

              Well, then they should at least try new names and definitions since many people associate communism with something bad. Similar to socialism. It simply provokes controversial thoughts because of bad examples in history. Also, I said that only true communism can be good, but this implies a perfect system, which, sadly, is impossible in our reality since nothing can be perfect.

              I am not against them trying to achieve peace, it just looks a little bit pointless to me assuming the human nature.
