but I can think of no reason not to pirate woke slop
If you pirate gay porn instead of buying it, it doesn't make you less gay. Like I'm not gonna say, "Oh, I see, you're not financially supporting the gay porn industry with your 100TB gay porn collection! Heil Hitler, my heterosexual brother."
The ontological argument does matter because property is not a feeling, a cost, or a law.
It doesn't matter because lliterally nobody cares. It doesn't matter in a court of law, and it doesn't matter to the people who produce things. What matters to the court is the law, and what matters to the people who produce things is whether they got paid. The rule of the marketplace is
fuck you, pay me, not dissertations about ontology. If you aren't going to pay me,
fuck you. Under the current rules of the system, I can fuck you in court, and if I'm not fucking you in court, it's because it's just not worth my time, not because you won an argument about ontology. If we lived in Ancapistan, the rule would still be
fuck you, pay me, and I would merely have a different way of fucking you if you weren't going to pay me.
The real world is full of state-enforced legal privileges masquerading as rights. That's not a rebuttal to my argument. My argument challenges the very system.
No, it really doesn't. Leeching off a system isn't challenging it. Morally, you're on the same plane as a guy who manufactures Buy American bumper stickers in China using a factory that relies on Uighyur slave labor, or a trust fund baby who's never worked a day in his life, but has plenty of time to bang on about Marxism on his tumblr page and join antifa protests. You're perfectly happy to enjoy the fruits of a system you consider to be immoral. You can't be bothered to boycott the system, or try to do something that actually challenges it. "Give me your shit for free" is nigger-tier; "take my shit for free," like RMS did with the GPL and GNU, is meaningful action. Not only has RMS actually tried to build software the way he thinks it should exist in his fictional universe, but he has studiously gone out of his way to use free software as much as humanly possible, I think the only commercial software he touches is the BIOS on his laptop's CPU. You just want to fill your basket with the fruits of immorality and complain that you shouldn'ty have to pay for it, since it's an immoral system, and we should respect you for not paying. I respect
@The Secret Sauce for just outright saying, "lol I'm stealing, fuck da police" more than you because he's being honest about his motivations.
Can you point to even one way you seriously inconvenience yourself, practically or financially, in order to live in your own personal Ancapistan? RMS has personally left a lot of money and opportunities on the table to pursue his vision. I think he's retarded, but I respect the commitment. What have you done besides steal video games?
