Industrialism is not natural.

Is…is this not common sense? How can anyone interpret this as ecofacism? Where do they see factories in nature, and what other species takes other species natural production (bees making honey, cows making milk) and scales them for their own benefit?

Am…am I calling for the genocide of the human race for pointing this out? Are words meaningless?

Wow, his hands really are small…

Love that you assume I’m a non-voter, when nowhere in my comment implies that. You didn’t even read it, or my replies to the OP (who actually made good points btw, unlike you). But sure, whatever helps you feel better right now.

You are all just typical abusers trying to escape accountability.

This is such an insulting statement to people who actually go through abusive systems that I can’t even fathom why you would write this. No one who is in activism and mutual aid spaces would say this with a straight face.

I understand your point, but as you said:

But just staying at home, doing nothing and then saying “I told you so” is just dumb.

There are people WHO VOTED who are doing this, because it’s “not their responsibility” anymore.

Yeah, well, they’ve done it, 95 million Americans didn’t vote. Now what?

Are we gonna point the finger at them, lay the blame at their feet, and feel superior because WE VOTED, while the oligarchs and fascists loot our treasury and put our minority and LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters you seem to care so much about in camps? Or are we gonna go and fight the good fight like the people out in LA yesterday?

-puts on tinfoil hat- Is this why we’re suddenly getting so many remasters/remakes?

-takes off hat- No, it’s probably because the corporate gaming industry is creatively bankrupt and want to cash in on nostalgia with minimal risk. But remakes/remasters probably strengthen the “market harm” portion of their argument.

Even Haru’s billionaire ass can’t afford all these subscriptions 😭

Shounen Jump is a great example. It works, it’s readers find value in it enough to pay for subscriptions, and it clearly has some sort of profitability. A great model of what other manga magazines could do, but they refuse because most of them are run by dinosaurs and would rather cry “piracy is ruining our profits wah” when they DON’T EVEN HAVE A PRODUCT in the market to profit from!

Sorry Japan, manga piracy/scanlations until I die. There are so many niche authors/manga that never get officially translated to any other language because your industry thinks everyone just wants to read shounen and only the top 1% of shoujo/seinen/josei. Don’t even get me started on BL/GL.

Meanwhile some fucking random scanlation team does a better job of translating and making a chapter of Rose of Versailles more accessible to modern audiences than the entire Japanese manga publishing apparatus ever will.

LEMMY is how I find out there’s a new hbomber video? Not my fucking YOUTUBE SUBSCRIPTION ALERTS??

Thanks, Google!
