Piracy brings people together

People were never apart to begin with, even if some power hungry pricks want you to believe otherwise.
We all live on the same planet, have roughly the same needs and wishes. Languages and cultures may be different, but under the hood we are all the same.
- And as we're crossing border after border we realize the difference is none
- Dunno, when some of your best friends literally live in the opposite hemisphere, whatever nice words about planets fall flat considering any costs and times of travel are just to cover about a small arc on the surface of this pebble.
  
  "Apart" as in "hate each other", not distance-wise.
Nationalism is such a joke! Old rich men sending young poor men to kill each other, to protect their wealth and power. Us pirates have much more in common than a Russian citizen and his idiot president or me and my millionaire chancellor.
- Old rich men sending young poor men to kill each other,
  If bigotry and violence was just old men we'd have it a lot easier
  
  Isn't it the whole reason why republicans go batshit insane against critical race theory? That the racism stems from deliberate attempts to divide people for political gain and it's been studied that racism isn't a naturally occurring phenomena?
I was seeding to a person in Israel and I was tempted to block them tbh
- not everyone who lives there is a Zionist dickhead
  
  That's why I didn't do it. iirc, a lot of Palestinians use Israeli esims as well.
  
  Their polls, voting results and outright nazi public discourse suggest otherwise...
- Exactly the same experience. Even worse once I saw an app on f droid that literally had a popup asking for donations to help Israel and it's war.
  
  what 💀
  Does israel not get enough through the U.S?
- I have all the known Israeli IP ranges banned.
Ukraine pushing beyond it’s weight as usual ;)
One thing to keep in mind is the IP address might not reflect the actual user's location.
- Yeah, my seedbox is on another continent.
It really does but in a funny way because I'm also dependent on a tense geopolitical relatioship with russia so my pirated content is still accessible from the US.
- It’s honestly amazing how many crackers and media uploaders are Russian. I’ve always joked that if another Iron Curtain happens, America will have to start paying for Netflix again.
I’d like to teach the world to sing yay piracy!
