  • The end game is to avoid legal consequences for their actions. These people don’t understand the legal system and believe it works like an arcane magic system. If they send the right letters to the right people, they can make all their problems go away.

    In this case, they believe there is a letter they can send someone that causes that person to owe them 1 gold bar per month unless that person performs some kind of action. This one sounds like it was sent to the New York State courts in an attempt to get them to drop legal action against them (or give them gold).

    Searching “notice of liability” gets you a bunch of conspiracy theory websites with templates and instructions.







  • atro_city said it well:

    If the SKG movement doesn’t organise, that’s all we’ll get: a communiqué to shut the hell up.

    Over a million Europeans have signed a petition in less than a month. Why only Europeans? Big ecelebs like PewDiePie and Critikal have made videos on this. It’s got a lot of people interested. Why not get everyone in on something more direct? Something international? Why does the world need to sit and wait and hope the EU parliament fixes everything? It seems like a waste of momentum. It needs to be more than just a European petition. A call to boycott the worst companies until they change their EULA and TOS would be a great start.




  • How? I genuinely believe something along the lines of an organized boycott would be far more impactful than a hail mary petition. The reason I think it wouldn’t work is because most people couldn’t commit. That’s why I said this isn’t activism.

    It’s not activism if you’re not putting in any effort. I don’t care if people downvote me, but at least post an actual opinion. Have an actual stance. I’m glad others have posted some, although all of them seem to be along the lines of “this petition will definitely fix everything so we don’t need to try anything else”.

    Appeasement was when Allied powers allowed Hitler to build a giant military and invade neighbouring countries without penalty. It wasn’t about negotiating a trade deal. When negotiating, it is expected both sides are willing to give up some of their wants to reach a deal. Giving something up during negotiation isn’t appeasement.
