Or you could do that by default while very selectively supporting specific artists. That way you can both stay within your means and exercise moral discretion over who you support.
It's easy to talk out of your ass about how you would have done a better job, but you clearly have no idea what the circumstances were that the prosecution team was dealing with. This particular piece of evidence for example was attempted to be admitted but was denied by the judge for being "irrelevant to the case." The prosecution was fighting a court stacked against them and you would have had a hard time as well.
his solution (for a class of "intellectuals" like him to take charge) however, are just neoliberal swill
This is such a common pitfall that even self-described communists fall into it as well. When you hear people talk about a "dictatorship of the proletariat," what they're describing tends to devolve into "a class of intellectuals needs to guide the working class to the correct decisions" when questioned about what a "dictatorship of the proletariat" actually entails. Often they'll try to justify it by saying it's only temporary, but we all know how that pans out (see the USSR). This is why I consider myself an anarchist rather than a communist and regularly critique marxism-leninism.
I suppose I excluded some important detail. The reason I had wanted to read the Bible then was so I could better understand God's word and confront my family with that understanding. But reading the Bible didn't clarify things for me the way I thought it would, instead of clear instruction on right and wrong I found more hypocrisy and contradiction, as well as a disturbing focus on the appropriate conduct of slave-owners and the treatment of women as property.
Reading the Bible gave me the same whiplash I felt seeing the hypocrisy of the people around me, which made me realize that it wasn't in spite of their faith, but because of it.
When I was young growing up Southern Baptist there was one time where the pastor preached about this verse, and the whiplash I felt when I heard family members bad-mouthing immigrants the moment they stepped outside is partly what led me to read the Bible myself, which led to me losing my faith.
Accountability for actions that effect people other than yourself is necessary for a healthy democracy. Your problem is mistaking accountability for persecution.
As an anarchist this is me on a good day. I more often find myself in the middle getting shit on from both directions.
This is not terrorism, it's industrial sabotage, which in the context of the coal industry is based.
The underside instantly darkens when scratched.
Science is just the method by which technological advancements are achieved, it doesn't decide the priorities. That privilege falls to capital, and by extension, capitalists.
I would suspect this is an intentional dark pattern. They're probably hoping most people will get tired of waiting and click cancel, which sets it back to the default of allowing all cookies.
Remember everyone, media piracy is in the spirit of a tv show about a post-scarcity socialist utopian future.
You can't take back what's already been given, so you just learn and move on. Whether to keep their art or throw it out is your choice, just don't support them in the future.
For example, I own a painting by Salvador Dali. Salvador Dali - if you don't know - is a fascist. I inherited the painting, and even the previous owner likely purchased the painting after Salvador Dali was dead. My owning the painting does not support Salvador Dali in any way, and the painting has nothing to do with his fascist views. Most people would not recognize that it is a Salvador Dali painting and even fewer would know about his political leanings. It doesn't bother me to hang the painting on my wall, and in the right context and company it can even make a good conversation piece.
