I hate living in a society where capitalism creates a problem so you can be sold the solution, and if you cannot afford the solution, you're destined to die.

@currentbias Awesome, thanks for this! It'll be my next read.
@MikeTheComrade and if you create a solution yourself for others to have you’re taken out
@MikeTheComrade and if you can provide the same solution for cheaper or (ideally) free, you're pursued by the cops
IP kills, folks
@spookedhams @MikeTheComrade That's what happened to Aaron Schwartz. Publicly funded research was paywalled for hundreds of dollars for each article behind journal articles and databases and Aaron Schwartz liberated them buy downloading them into a massive database. The ruling class threw the book at him and he killed himself because of the massive prison sentence he was facing.

@MikeTheComrade if you mean the US, then we’re also in a society where the government creates problems so you can elect them to “fix it”.

I don’t hate capitalism or socialism, but either system our government would find a way to corrupt it.
