No. Just about all of it comes down to, “You demand you get paid for your work, why shouldn’t the developers of the games you’re playing?”

“Except it’s not as simple as that.”

It comes back to the biggest problem with Democrats in the US: They cannot get a message out to save their lives. They are absolutely incapable of creating a narrative, and live in constant fear of Republicans saying anything about what they do.

Counterpoint: Nazis don't deserve to be tolerated anywhere. Fuck those pieces of shit

People aren't saying you don't deserve to have fun. People are saying to pay for your shit.

No. This, “No choice but to pirate,” is complete horseshit. You're just entitled and don't want to pay for someone else's work. But I guarantee you that is your boss said they wanted to stop paying you, you'd throw a fit.

Even if “everything they do is trolling,” the Rule of Goats applies. If you're fucking a goat ironically, you're still fucking a goat.

Yet, several lines in his manifesto were directly taken from Tucker Carlson’s show.

The FCC has no jurisdiction over cable networks. Fox News doesn’t have any kind of license for the FCC to yank.

I think a big part of why this guy is not taken as speaking in good faith is that he’s appearing on the network that directly influenced the shooter. If he’s not going to directly and bluntly call that network out, anything else he has to say is just not worth listening to.

And yet, the shooter’s manifesto is a clear copy/paste of Tucker Carlson’s White Power Hour, and they won’t do a thing to reel him in.

How does one be “respectful” when saying that you don’t deserve rights?

“pro-respect”

But this isn’t “remaining neutral”. This is giving aid to those who don’t believe that women deserve bodily autonomy rights. There literally is no “neutral” in the debate between whether someone should have rights or not.

No, and that’s a complete horseshit argument. Enshrining the right to abortion in the law would not compel anyone to have an abortion.

Again no, there are not.

There are literally no “Pro-Life people who have no problem with Roe v. Wade or Planned Parenthood.” The entire point of being pro life is that you are against those things.

“Also, to be clear, I’m not even defending this shit,”

That will never happen.
