I just posted this in my local discord cause "lol" whatever, triggered the FUCK out of a capitalist who came out the gate swinging for Ubisoft 😂

He argued that not giving Ubisoft money is an immoral conspiracy. Not even piracy, just saying you're not buying Ubi games anymore. Late Stage Capitalism ladies and gents, where you're the evil in the world for not funneling your money to corporations regardless of if you want to or not.

Welcome to the conspiracy boys, girls, and enbys!

lmao why Ubisoft specifically?

[–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Probably because of the recent Ubisoft situations.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 8 points 7 months ago

What Octopus said, right now any mention of piracy is intrinsically linked to the Ubi comments.

Don't forget to deep fry it a bit in JPG fat every repost.

The compression is its history!

Stealing? You mean reproducing. Right?

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 10 points 7 months ago

Stealing? You mean involuntary sharing

I really hope this place doesn't get overrun with memes like the subreddit did

[–] fogstormberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

I'd love to see someone spin up a piracy memes community

edit: or point me to one that's already up

I think this is pretty much how GPL works. (maybe except the stealing part, but both stealing from corporate and FOSS are good.

I'm the guy who coined this phrase: https://lemmy.world/post/1098344

I see people saying it all the damn time and couldn't be prouder.
