I wish more people understood the issues surrounding Julian Assange. His extradition would likely be murder, although I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being reported as a suicide. He's already been tortured [psychologically] for over a decade at this point, and our government has considered assassination. To think that he should be handed over to the people who had their crimes exposed by him and that is somehow justice is peak absurdity.

Sadly when I mention Assange to people (not fedi people, real people), most don't really know who he is. They recognize the name, and have heard of wikileaks, but they don't really know the relationship or the circumstances of his living status. It is reported on, but usually there is some other stupid thing that is way more click bait worthy to distract people from paying too much attention.

@Nelenese@shitposter.club It's not over, the invidious team is pretty based and they'll make sure it continues.

I like the "You know what you have to do." in the issue.

@mrsaturday @ArdainianRight @Suiseiseki This is unfortunately very popular even in ancap spaces, with some mainstream ancaps basically saying "the billionaire elites pay more taxes than everyone else so they should get sole ownership over all public property and assets", completely ignoring that those billionaires literally only have any of the wealth and power they do through abusing the government to both empower themselves and prevent any competitors from challenging their monopolies. For every cent they pay in taxes, they get hundreds of dollars of protection from the government, stolen from all of the average joes who could even theoretically compete with them in an actual free market.

@ArdainianRight @Suiseiseki Kinsella honestly managed to convince me that in extremely limited scenarios - basically only trademarks - "IP" can actually be okay. I love his stance that even in those few scenarios, it's ultimately a consumer-vs-trademark-abuser dispute which the trademark holder has effectively no stake in, since the only person actually being harmed is the consumer who accidentally paid for a mislabeled product, not the trademark holder who allegedly "lost" a sale they likely wouldn't have gotten to begin with.

Holy shit summer games fest sucked ass
