The best is when they don’t get a seat for the dog and it just crowds everyone the whole flight.

Surprise! It is not the dog, but plague carrying fleas.

It is okay, you got caught up in the propaganda of what was his political leanings left or right. I am just here to tell you that your doing exactly what they want you to do. Hence the useful idiot
I am assuming the truth. Just like OP said. He is a product of conservative culture regardless if he embraced or denied it.

Sweep up is a reference to cleaning up.
It doesn’t matter what you think or even I think. They already branded him as leftist. They are already attacking innocent people with political violence like the terrorists they are.
The reality is he was raised conservative in a conservative religion, in a conservative family, in a conservative town, and in a conservative state. He is one of them. They know this, I know this, but you seem confused.
They have a name for this and it is useful idiot.

This kids was different. He is not one of us! /S
What was fucking hilarious was the governor got on to reassure all Utahns that he was not like his parents, community, or state when he is clearly is.
Your musings don’t matter he has already been branded by the liars as a leftist and your just here to sweep up after them like a good lackey.
- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 3 days ago:
Well said.
- Comment on How half the US lost part of their minds 3 days ago:
Or the 30k ~ 50k people dead every year for the last three decades from gun violence. The equivalent of a major conflict every year never ending.
Or locking up more people than any other nation. Five percent of the world’s population but twenty percent of the world’s prison population.
Or a society of excess that has almost 25 vacant houses for every homeless person but chooses to allow people to rot on the streets as an example of what will happen if you don’t “conform”.
Or a society that has the largest military on the world by orders of magnitude that profiteers off of every conflict by doing things like arming both sides. Don’t forget overthrowing democratic governments to install fascist ones.
Or a society that produces more wealth inequality than anyone else (finally American exceptionalism) and then allows these people to control the government and make all the decisions to benefit them and their friends.
I could probably go on for a bit longer, but that is enough to chew on.

There has been a shinning example of Fascism in the US since it’s creation. From genociding the Native Americans to over throwing countless democracies and installing fascist states.
Sure the founding fathers existed before fascism was envisioned, but they did real good checking off every box. We will call them the proto-fascists, they helped guide the creation of the most destructive fascist nation ever. The kind of nation that nurtured the Nazi movement after creating the the perfect storm by walking away from the aftermath of WWI.
The kind of nation that purged all its left wing back during the McCarthyism Era. A nation whose military complex is bigger and stronger than the rest of the world combined. A country created by the wealthy for the wealthy embracing the corruption of greed from the start to the end.
- Comment on Do not support political violence† online! 4 days ago:
I lived in Idaho for the Obama years. I had to listen to people fantasize about hanging or shooting Obama hundreds of times. My kids teachers joked about it. Little boys would talk about it to my daughters.
I can’t understand going after people who say violent shit after what I have seen and heard in my lifetime. The right is so truly fucked beyond what people realize.

Exercising copyright in a court of law is extremely expensive. $250k+ minimum for a federal case. It is not a system designed for the artists you are describing.
In fact, it is just the opposite with corporations going after small artists regularly, not the other way around.
How has copyright been a deterrent to AI? This is a great case example of the system working as it is intended. Benefiting corporations which is what the system is designed to do.
Most major recording artist do not own their works. Where is there protection? The system is once again not designed for the individual.
Copyright was designed to create artificial scarcity. It was created out of the guilds back in England and was designed to censor and control the printing industry NOT protect authors rights.
While I will admit copyright is the most palatable of the Intellectual Properties it is still extremely problematic and we would be better off without it.
Don’t even get me started on patents and trademarks and the abuse these system perpetrate on our society. There is doubt the elimination of intellectual property would be beneficial to our society at the detriment of the rent-seeking capitalists.

Corporations already do this everyday.

Artist that want to make money can preform or sell their work like they have always done. IP is about commercial interests like royalties and licensing. This has nothing to do with the actual promotion of arts and science. It is about control.
Most artist don’t do it to make money even. This confusion of expression and commercial interest is the crux of what we are dealing with.
There is no natural protection from someone copying, remixing, or reinventing your work. This is literally how art is made. No one creates in a vacuum and everyone is inspired by someone else.
There are already no protections for the little guy. Corporations borrow and use whatever they want. The IP system is NOT for the average person. It is designed to benefit and enrich and extreme minority and it does this well.

You think every artist is a selfish asshole like you. That is just called projecting.
- Comment on 'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop' 5 days ago:
You have no take other than approving the purchase and sale of our culture controlled by corporations.
You say IP is for the little guy, the average federal copyright lawsuit cost a quarter of a million dollars to pursue.
You have no clue about remix culture which was destroyed by profiteers. Corporations control the majority of artist’s commercial music. Many artists don’t own their own work.
Corporations constantly steal IP. AI has shown us that they don’t respect the very laws they created.
The only person living in a dystopia and living it is you. The abolishment of IP would cause an explosion of science and art like the world hasn’t seen since they created laws to prevent it.

99+% of art is never sold. The vast majority of artist don’t make money. Who really cares about the extreme minority who use capitalism to control our culture. They don’t get to decide what the rest of the world does purely for their economic interests.
No they don’t need any mechanism. The arts and sciences existed for thousands of years without modern silly interpretations for commercial interests.

To answer your first question no.
Intellectual property is a societal construct and it is as real as racism is. Which isn’t saying much.
If an artist doesn’t want their music to be heard and possibly replicated, altered, or used in a way they don’t like then it is their responsibility to never release it. Only by hiding it can they keep the world from misusing it.

Oh look random person gets murdered. Let’s use this as an excuse to think that every single person that does not agree with me is trying to kill me because reasons.
Hundreds of people are killed by guns every fucking day in the US but now it is suddenly personal?
No one ever accused them of being intelligent.

Not all, I just immediately suspected you of trolling based on what you said. I read your comment history and I confirmed my suspicion.
Speaking of social interactions, part of that is reading the room. This means understanding the temperature and leaning of the group you are discussing things with.
Kirk recognized this and very carefully crafted his image by omitting anytime someone put him in his place and using plausible deniability to conceal his misogynist and racist right wing viewpoints.
Your MLK comments were particularly interesting considering he was known for saying things like Martin Luther King Jr. is exaggerated, calling King “awful… not a good person.” and also callingthe Civil Rights Movement “a huge mistake.”
Perhaps you are just ill informed and made a mistake. From my viewpoint you could perhaps be just like him. Someone pushing a right wing agenda that is not afraid to lie and conceal the truth.

I am so sorry to hear your hero died AKA the great white MLK. If it is any solace he died proving his point. An “armed citizenry comes with a price” as he was found of saying.
Peace be with you.

He died so we can have more gun deaths!

Loved and admired by all!? Good with the youth!? I know we are not supposed to talk ill of the dead, but do we have to literally make up lies about him?
- Comment on Too soon? 1 week ago:
Fascists absolutely love guns. The proof is right here in front of our faces. Guns will never protect us from fascists because violence is what they want.
