Im not talking about lemmy being generally critical of billionaires, i mean the platform itself and its use is directly fighting against billionaire control of social media, because its social media they cant control.

Youre only pointing out that not enough people are fighting back, but being here is fighting against billionaire control of social media.

If you dont know, you dont know. Israel and Biden could be even more of a monster than we know publicly. You’re still trying to use ignorance as a license for genocide

Some extraordinary mental gymnastics to justify genocide. maybe theres something we dont know that justifies it, so its justified

The people spending 5 years to develop something arent the ones that own the rights to the end product. Like I said, copyright exists so rich people can own more. The people that own the rights to pokemon are not game developers, artists, writers, anyone that put actual work into creating the games and other media.

Republicans have such a talent for saying things that really make you hate that theyll never see your response.

All of the poor front visibility with none of the “I actually need a truck” use cases

My car is part of “anything”

They stole my car?

Thats the thing, nothings being stolen. Beauty and the Beast didnt up and disappear because Bluth and Fox Studios made Anastasia. Theres style similarities but it is undeniably its own work. Dont even think about the style sharing going on in the thousands of Anime out there.
