I pirate because I like it, and I don't need to justify it to myself with ideology. My beliefs don't follow Kant's categorical imperative, and I don't care.
well in a way it could be seen as anarchist calisthenics because that is looking at arbitrary rules social or legal and chosing to break them if you don't belive in their merit as a rule
having to pay mr i don't give my employees piss breaks to watch the show where the main characters complain about people who can do whatever they want because of power is a sort of social rule that you are breaking by pirating
Anarchist calisthenics is the practice of doing small acts of disobedience in order to "train" your disobedience muscle and prepare for bigger acts of disobedience in the future.
I don't understand the internet and social media in general sometimes (because I don't use almost any of them apart from this one...) can someone explain to me why I'm not understanding 😅
pirating also cause your broke and big corps want to charge thousands of dollars for a software i need for my job that in return wont even generate me the amount i paid for the software to begin with..........
Piracy is the closest global praxis we have of communism: "From each according to his ability (to seed), to each according to his needs (to download)" and anarchism: "Fuck the State and Capitalists, they shouldn't and they wont prevent me from sharing". aka AnarchoCommunism = Ancom
Lol this is amazing, your meltdown over me finding this post cringe is honestly embarrassing, the fact that you've inflated a simple age based joke into a full scale, keyboard smashing defense of the entire anarchist philosophy proves the joke landed perfectly, you're not upholding anarchism, you're humiliating it, also Q.E.D: you're precisely the kind of self important, chronically online ideologue that every actual anarchist is desperately trying to disown
Chill son, you're the one who went through four kinds of capitalization in this discussion. I just shat on your ageist attempt at a joke and went about my day.
Ageist? LOL. The whole post is literally a height joke. OOP is not a day older than 19.
Shoulda went about your day before trying to argue with people for no reason👍
Well, you had trouble with your grammar and then forgot how to split paragraphs while projecting your emotional state on me.
It's the word for the thing. I guess if you're some kind of snowflake I can tiptoe around it by saying "age based". Not everything is a dogwhistle, but you sure made a friend over that.
I popped in to show you how you would have no way of knowing what an anarchist thought at any age, I'm not your mom to care if you develop manners.
I pirate because I am lazy. If it is easy to pay, I pay. As soon as there are enough hoops in front of me that I need to jump through to make paying more involved than piracy, I pirate. Or find something else to do, if both are pretty annoying, I guess.
It's clearly criminal behavior, but that doesn't mean the pirate wishes to live in a world without governance. The Venn diagram may not be as overlapped as you think.

sounds pretty anarchist
I don't care
sounds pretty anarchist
I don't care
I like your conviction, good sir/lady.
i dont care if you dont care
sounds pretty anarchist
sounds pretty anarchist
I don't care
i care
I admire your dedication to anarchy
What does Kant have to do with anarchy?
Kant has to do with everything.
What is a very reasonable thing to say. But I don't care
Do you mean that you pirate without necessarily wishing that it should be a universal law? If so, I agree with you and also do that
This is exactly what Max Stirner would have said in the modern era. Anarcho-egoism is a trip, if you ever have time I'd suggest The Ego and its Own.
okay shorty
Pirating because you just want to seed the things you downloaded
Just as they have planted their seed into me, I will now plant my seed into everyone else
Hmm.
Careful man they just clapped the fertility doctor who was doing that.
There's a special place in heaven for seeders who seed for the hell of it, that's all I know
fucking biggest gigachad ever
I do that occasionally. Been looking for stuff to seed
I pirate because I live in third world country and my money isn't enough for food even imagine buying stupid Disney+ plans or shit like that
very good very good
the idea that certain people shouldn't have access to art simply because of their position in a class hiearchy is the definition of classism
what about pirating cus you can't afford big corpo products?
The noblest reason.
well in a way it could be seen as anarchist calisthenics because that is looking at arbitrary rules social or legal and chosing to break them if you don't belive in their merit as a rule

Typed on your fancy corpo product
Fancy would be a big word for it
could be a shitty android
well yeah I didn't steal my laptop..
"Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very smart"
Bold of you to assume I use either big corpo hardware or system.

Every day I see humanities horrors I begin to fantasise about the idea of leaving society.
Or maybe because they don't let us buy things.
You can't pull the "you just wan't free things" card while not giving options how else people are supposed to get things.
Us plebians aren't allowed to own things, that's for our god overlord bilionaires.
most memes follow a set binary i was just trying to mimick that frame but fine here you go

wtf are anarchist calisthenics ? I know both words but I can't see how they'd fit together
Doing pushups and situps outside of any hierarchical power structure, obviously.
is gravity a hierarchical power structure? should we be doing this in space?

Something to watch for further information: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6_dPVuBK5Bg
Turns out I've been practicing my whole life
I think this video from him is better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17rf0zO8goo.
oh I see, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you !
Also known as failed-state calisthenics
i love the idea of this shitpost having put people onto new words
I do because 1) Fuck big companies 2) I want free shit
Remember kids, your political view being a benefit for you doesn't undermine it!
it's the only moral thing to do
Middle school tier post
How old are you bruh?
no theyre right, im 5'2 and i pirate mostly for free shit
5’2” pirate crew unite. We’ll need some step stools.
Real
hey neither are less okay than the other im just saying your short and its okay to be short
don't let your height determine your inner value 😔🫶
What ever gets you sleep at night buddy.
I pirate because I can’t remember my Netflix login and I can’t be bothered to do the email verification.
I'll have you know I'm a respectable 5"1!
Look at me look at me I pirate things...
I pirate because either
-I'm broke
-I'm an old game enthusiast and a lot of the games I like just aren't on Steam
-I don't trust Valve. I like having everything local.
Playing old games is not piracy. It's archiving.
Very much so. RIP Cold Fear, Manhunt 2, and so many more of my favorites.
5'4" >:(
so you are a third thing
or european
I do it for both what height am i
banishment 6 feet under
OP definitely owns at least one Che Guevara shirt
i stole it...
''you have to be the worst Pirate I have ever head of''
But you have heard of me....
like the most well known assasin
I don't understand the internet and social media in general sometimes (because I don't use almost any of them apart from this one...) can someone explain to me why I'm not understanding 😅
Kid learned about anarchy, and made a meme saying he pirates since he is an anarchist and not because he wants free shit.
hey im short im not an ansrchist
Becoz it's fun jane!!
im 6'4" and I just like stealing
You should turn yourself in.
Also, copying is not theft.
idc what piracy is, I just like doing it. and I like stealing as well
but stealing is pretty cool
you know lying isn't cool
I pirate to decide if the game or company is worth investing into
Fine by me. Smaller hitbox.
Both are doing same exact thing anyways
yeah is just shorter
dont know why people are making it about morals its clearly all about height
pirating also cause your broke and big corps want to charge thousands of dollars for a software i need for my job that in return wont even generate me the amount i paid for the software to begin with..........
I don't care anymore, buying licenses keeps me poor.
Pirating because I’m not spending fucking $100+ for 1s and 0s
can i intrest you in some 2s and 3s
So I get free things **AND** I get taller?!
obviously
I pirate because free shit
This meme got way too real way too fast.
ikr its really hillarous how some people just got so angry in certain comment sections its great
I'm 4'11'.
I've only grown 2 inches in the last 11 years (I'm 20) lol idk where I went wrong
As someone who is unironically 5'2", Yep.
Piracy is the closest global praxis we have of communism: "From each according to his ability (to seed), to each according to his needs (to download)" and anarchism: "Fuck the State and Capitalists, they shouldn't and they wont prevent me from sharing". aka AnarchoCommunism = Ancom
woah someone sure took this seriously
(although very based)
I pirate because it's in my blood lmao

Yarr comrade, we're the left hand of free culture.
i'll assume this post was made by a 21 year old
I think it was made by a bot because the headline makes no sense.
beep boop
this is all fun and games its wild to me how a whole ass war happened in these replies lmao
Sweetie, don't pretend you had any morals at 21 and just misplaced them now.
Morals??? Sweetie I pirate and steal everything I have no morals, I just don't make cringy "I'm an anarchist I wanna sAve the world" excuses
So what was different when you were 21? Were you saying things like OOP to fit in?
No I was busy pirating
QED, it's got nothing to do with age. It's not like anarchists didn't consider you a slimy twerp when you opened your mouth back then.
We still give you stuff though. There's free books, too, you know.
Lol this is amazing, your meltdown over me finding this post cringe is honestly embarrassing, the fact that you've inflated a simple age based joke into a full scale, keyboard smashing defense of the entire anarchist philosophy proves the joke landed perfectly, you're not upholding anarchism, you're humiliating it, also Q.E.D: you're precisely the kind of self important, chronically online ideologue that every actual anarchist is desperately trying to disown

sorry i thought you meant me lol, i thought it was that guy for a second, also yeah i just noticed he used "ageist" unironically that's soo bizarre
And I shat back at you and moved on, what's the problem? also I can't believe you just used "ageist" unironically
Well, you had trouble with your grammar and then forgot how to split paragraphs while projecting your emotional state on me.
It's the word for the thing. I guess if you're some kind of snowflake I can tiptoe around it by saying "age based". Not everything is a dogwhistle, but you sure made a friend over that.

"Anarchy" is a tool not a destination historically. In order to reattain power for the powerless the board needs cleared occasionally.
Modern day the fight is abstract and digital because the enemy is corporations who are just as abstract.
Every day you make it more costly to exploit the consumer rather than to appease them is another victory.
It's not like most people wouldn't be willing to pay if they were not being wrung dry and mistreated by these services.
That is why this conversation has become one where morality converges with piracy.
Love the casual heightism 😂✌️✌️
It's pretty much everywhere at this point
OP is a dipshit that needs to tie their morality to the way they consume free media. I wouldn't let it get to me.
Pirating is cool because free shit. If someone wants the moral route they can rent free movies from their local library.
OP is guaranteed to be a sub5 ogre at best 😹
I pirate for the same reason my dog licks it's balls
to find shiva???
media literacy is down 😔
I pirate because I am lazy. If it is easy to pay, I pay. As soon as there are enough hoops in front of me that I need to jump through to make paying more involved than piracy, I pirate. Or find something else to do, if both are pretty annoying, I guess.
Anarchist? Yikes
This sub is full of edgy 18 yr olds and younger, so not surprised.
The act in piracy is a clear anarchic behavior.
It's clearly criminal behavior, but that doesn't mean the pirate wishes to live in a world without governance. The Venn diagram may not be as overlapped as you think.
Conflating governance with manipulation is why so many suffer.
It is possible to govern where law is passed by the people instead of a ruling class.
If you live in a country where your leaders live a more luxurious life than yourself you are being manipulated not governed.
slam poetry
Spoken like someone with absolutely 0 political education
Pirating because it's the only way to get uncompressed content without spending thousands on blu-rays
not to mention disney+ incorporating ai into their media by default now
