Cut off internet for people who pirate... Those people are now unable to stream anything... Sacrifice thousands in potential revenue over an infringement that maybe cost them a few dollars, if that... Deter no one because everyone thinks they won't get caught.
That's the only possible upside to the nation sinking into a dictatorship, at least we'll never have a duly elected President Beast... Silver linings and whatnot.
If course it's unsurprising. The man has a very clear pattern of surrounding himself with people who he believes will do and think exactly the way he wants, and then cutting ties with them anytime they deviate from his expectations.
They're so far up each other's asses and whacked outta their gourds on whatever drugs that they're honestly out of touch with reality. Gonna be a cold, cruel morning when the light of day finally reaches them.
100% this kind of techbro need to be cool and liked is one of the main drivers behind why our nation is fucked right now. Zuck, Musk and all of the other guys flipped right when people called them out on legitimate bullshit because they could find easy validation among the MAGA rubes, MRA choads, and conspiracy nutters. They sold out their platforms and the country for a tiny dose of external validation. Fragile little man-children.
I'm sure they'd eventually expand the list, but what's shown on the screen could be thwarted with a thesaurus inside of thirty seconds. Which once again just goes to show how fucking shortsighted and dumb these bastards really are. They can't handle written communication at a third-grade level.
Yup. People seem to still seem to believe that public opinion will somehow stop these assholes. It won't, it'll just get them to sic their fan boys on whatever source is reporting that opinion and push the propaganda more.
However, the lyrics seem to be sung from the point of view of someone who turned to crime after the system failed them, and the Clash make it sound defiant and powerful despite the outcome.
It's time to settle some grievances with the Law.
EDIT: I mean, just imagine that first guitar riff coming in right after someone kicks Thomas square in the nuts as the opening salvo... beautiful.
My wife enjoys her work, finds it rewarding, etc. etc. and has never been really content as a homemaker. My job is alright, but I don't feel any real passion for it, and I don't need a work atmosphere or to be around a lot of people to stay engaged. I'm happy just keeping things organized and running smoothly in my own little corner of the world.
I make just a little less than we need for her to stay home, and she makes peanuts in comparison.
It really hacks me off. She works in education, what she does is far more important to the well-being of society than what I do. If our paychecks were reversed, and they honestly should be reversed, I'd be happy to stay home or work part time but it's just not financially feasible.
It kinda looks like tennis for the unathletic, which means I should fit right in, but I have zero interest.
