    Christ imagine being so capitalism brained that you’re relying on Nintendo to prevent fascism

      What a shit take.

      Do you really think anybody trying to pit Nintendo against DHS would identify as a capitalist? You gonna accuse people of relying solely on their one protest to prevent fascism, as though its impossible to do or care more than one thing at once?

      Get off it. It’s not going to go anywhere, but it’s funny and doesn’t detract from serious efforts.

        “Boycotting a children’s entertainment company” is right up there with “No Kings, No Inconvenience, No Effect” protesting alright.

        Yes, people do have finite time and energy in this life, and wasting it on token “funny” protest absolutely detracts from putting it into anything meaningful

      I’d still prefer to hold corporations to account while the workers are still thinking about seizing the means of production and whatnot.

      No one is relying on Nintendo to prevent fascism and if that’s your take-away from an image talking about boycotting Nintendo I don’t know what the fuck else to say mate, maybe try being brained at all?

          I’m an anarchist, I fucking love pirating shit. I download movies and shows I’ll never even watch, I don’t need an excuse to pirate. Pirating is already moral and ethical.

          Like I said, try the brainned thing. I think it could be useful for ya.

            I’m a Gemini, I loving torrenting shit. Highly recommend the remixed/redux Mythbusters torrent where it’s resequenced in chronological order properly and without the recaps and previews.

            Anyway, good luck with not playing Splatoon 🩵

              Cool didn’t know star signs related to views on IP ownership, good to know. And thanks, I love Mythbusters so I think I will; What was the original issue with the ordering that people had to fix it?

                Oh you know how the original airing would always cut between Adam and Jamie, and the others? (Eg Kari, Grant, Tory). Which meant you had to consume both Myths at the same time to get to the outcome; and also this led to a whole load of extraneous narration and ad break recoveries (“Kari and Tory are working on…”). This really pares it back and makes it even more enjoyable.

                Mythbusters “Smyths” seems to be the keyword to search for. Enjoy! If you appreciate this help, shoot a right wing commentator

                  That’s pretty cool actually, guessing it must save a lot of time. I might go give one a watch today.

                (Un)fortunately yes. How can we justify big corporations IP if the other big corporations get a free pass at stealing from each other? Not every IP is owned by big corporations, so I think we should at least support indies.
