  • I know you might be joking for hyperbole, but still. If you burn it, you can’t read what runs through their and their friends’ head, and you lose the historical value of having access to this period’s political pulse later.

    And I don’t think these books turn people fascist. They only consolidate them.

    If we want to stop fascism, part of the solution is stopping the root of the problem, where people become fascists. And our best bet on that is understanding.



  • Remember the premise, cheating is lying about the situation, and acting on those needs without consent.

    There is no world where that is healthier than whatever mutual agreement the couple could end up in, after honestly sharing their situation.

    If the care for the needs of the child is real and actually shared between the parents, anything ranging from a sexually open marriage, to a divorce with uninterrupted coparenting, is leagues better than pretending you want to be there while actually both having a bad time around your child’s other parent, and constantly lying.


  • If you don’t care about a relationship, the other person still might, and them being hurt should matter to you.

    End the relationship since you don’t care about it anyways, to let the other person move on with the least lies and sense of betrayal, and then fuck everyone you wish.

    Cheating isn’t a way to end a relationship, cheating is lying in order to keep it longer.








  • A “truly small” creator, would get , I dunno, let’s say 5% of Disney’s marketed sales, after being stolen from, from being known as the guy Disney stole from. Which would be enormously more than if he only had his “truly small” marketing.

    A more successful and known creator, who would market himself more broadly on his own, would not be easy to steal from, since it would be quick enough for the stealing to be found out, to dampen Disney sales.

    And all this, ignores the paradigm shift in monetisation (Uniquenameosaurus YouTube video), that could enhance this process immensely, and allow artist creativity to flourish even more, without even leaving the diseased economical rules of capitalism.

    and irrelevant little aside

    Also about this,

    As opposed to now where the original artist/author at least has some recourse against the big corporation. Versus none.

    Guns give some recourse to poor people, against the rich, because anyone could use a gun.

    Guns allow the rich to equip their personal security teams, with guns.

    Guns are not helping the poor, and neither does copyright.



  • Disney wins in that scenario, because they have more resources to spend on getting their media out there.

    As… Opposed to now?

    If Disney does plagiarize small artists’ work, and becomes known for it, they take a reputation hit, and the artist gets an explosion of exposure, as long as it is provable he made the original story. (Disney making million-dollar budget movies of your OC, isn’t even that bad for you, to be honest, but let’s assume that it doesn’t market the fuck out of your small artist story. In real life, stories are not in competition.)

    If Disney doesn’t, then it’s an undeniable positive for worldwide creativity.

    The only thing copyright protects, is big companies’ exclusive right to public-consciousness characters.
