TIL Mark Zuckerberg is a Communist

Pirating flacs so I'm safe

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 17 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I was downloading some christmas albums for my mother in law and she said "isn't downloading mp3s illegal?" And I said "these are flac files its totally different."

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 hours ago

My mother is also a prime examplebof piracy hypocrisy.

Piracy bad

and about 1 week later after having complained about the electricity bill my server incurs:

Can you get me this show?

[–] AccoSpoot@lemmynsfw.com 31 points 17 hours ago

You wouldn't download the means of production!

Vintage iMac in this vintage meme

[–] halm@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

My immediate thought as well πŸ‘

[–] arthur@lemmy.zip 9 points 15 hours ago

I want it already, why you keep trying to convince me?

"You wouldn't download a Communism"

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I'd download anything I could get my Commie mitts on.

That old thing about "Would you download a car?" Goddamn right I would.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

iirc they had to change it from "download" to "steal" because the overwhelming response was "hell yeah I'd download a car!" XD

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

If I could download a free car through the Internet, I don't care what you call it, I'm in.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Obligatory "they stole the music for that clip"

It always reminded me of the Batman: Beyond intro music.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 6 points 14 hours ago

Vietnam is communist and they're the world's darlings.

This poster seems to indicate that piracy and/or communism are bad things. They are not. Capitalism is a bad thing (unless you are at the top 10% of the wealthiest people on earth). A bit of an imbalance that is not good. When I say 'poster' I mean the image (like posters they used to sell at K-Mart), not the person who posted.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 0 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Only true communism is good. Because of the most common "communism" in reality is a dictatorship regime masked under the communism ideology.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 3 points 13 hours ago

I want this on a t-shirt

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 41 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Really?

My seed ratio is going to be OVER 9000!!!!!!!11

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Gotta seed'em all! πŸ˜…

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 23 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Is this satire or did americans unironically create this

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It is satire but Americans have unironically created similar propaganda this is styled after.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 15 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah. Americans are insane.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 17 points 17 hours ago

Yes, we are.

My trailer trash neighbor hates the new folks across the street because they're from out of state. "This ain't New York!" It's not even racially motivated, everybody is white. I swear he purposely does annoying shit to bother them.

And before anyone judges me for calling them trailer trash, their Wi-Fi is "Trailer Trash."

[–] X@piefed.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Wait till you meet the satyrical Americans, they’re even insanerer.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 17 hours ago

Not communism! I'm afraid of it threatening trade, free elections, and my individual freedoms.

Certainly unchecked capitalism will save us!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 13 hours ago

Then call me the Pinko Pirate, or the Bolshevik Bootlegger or the Commie Collector.

Arbeiter Bauern, nehmt die Gewehre, nehmt die Gewehre zur Hand...

People still download mp3s like it's the early 2000s? Get with the times, use OPUS

walt disney about to make donald duck join the nazis again and start downloading fantasia.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 21 hours ago

Seems like as good a reason as any to do it.
