Sounds like the sole source of your “education” was the willful swallowing of propaganda. It really is gross how these know-nothing sycophants for capitalism have infested lemmy. Capitalism is oligarchy, it always without fail trends towards monopoly no many how reformist “regulations” succdems try to throw at it. Communism (via socialism) not only does not lead to oligarchy, it is the only proven workable means of preventing it in a capitalist-dominated world. If you could pry your tongue off the capitalist’s boot for few seconds you might be able to learn something about how the world actually works.


I agree with your sentiment but the major flaw in your analogy is that while drunk driving is unethical and immoral, “piracy” is ethical and moral. Part of the problem is the automatic framing of “piracy” as though it is doing something bad and underhanded. Nah, it’s simply using the information infrastructure in a way that circumvents a small piece of the ruling class’ ability to siphon wealth from you.
