    I disagree that it actually talks about the “ethical philosophy.” Basically either you join the echo chamber saying that there are no ethical problems with piracy, or you’re downvoted to oblivion. The responses are along the lines of “idc, I want free stuff.” That makes the discussion redundant and uninteresting.

        Some people have to jump through a lot of moral hoops to justify piracy instead of accepting there could be any possible bad points about it

        We’re talking about whether the community has a nuanced discussion about the ethics of piracy or not. What you said just now is another attempt at a false dichotomy, so if you’re trying to represent the community you’re kind of proving my point.

            Your argument is not relevant to anything I said. So I don’t want to engage with it because it derails the discussion here, which is not about the ethics of piracy but about the community’s openness to discussing it.

                They can do whatever they want, it’s their community. Just don’t tell me there’s a nuanced discussion going on there.

                    I did engage multiple times in that community, when it was on topic. I eventually learned that there was no point in doing so.
