Now, see, I am not sure of this is real or satire. I really would expect them to try some nonsense like this, so it could be as true as it could be satire...

This makes my brain hurt

[–] eah@programming.dev 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I wouldn't. I'd skip a bunch of them.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

Only because I don’t have the storage

[–] AccoSpoot@lemmynsfw.com 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You wouldn't download the means of production!

I like to download the memes of production

Really?

My seed ratio is going to be OVER 9000!!!!!!!11

Gotta seed'em all! πŸ˜…

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is this satire or did americans unironically create this

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It is satire but Americans have unironically created similar propaganda this is styled after.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 18 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Yeah. Americans are insane.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 days ago

Yes, we are.

My trailer trash neighbor hates the new folks across the street because they're from out of state. "This ain't New York!" It's not even racially motivated, everybody is white. I swear he purposely does annoying shit to bother them.

And before anyone judges me for calling them trailer trash, their Wi-Fi is "Trailer Trash."

[–] X@piefed.world 2 points 3 days ago

Wait till you meet the satyrical Americans, they’re even insanerer.

Pirating flacs so I'm safe

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I was downloading some christmas albums for my mother in law and she said "isn't downloading mp3s illegal?" And I said "these are flac files its totally different."

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

My mother is also a prime example of piracy hypocrisy.

Piracy bad

and about 1 week later after having complained about the electricity bill my server incurs:

Can you get me this show?

TIL Mark Zuckerberg is a Communist

(Facebook torrented something like 80 TBs worth of copyrighted data)

[–] arthur@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago

I want it already, why you keep trying to convince me?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)
[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago

Not communism! I'm afraid of it threatening trade, free elections, and my individual freedoms.

Certainly unchecked capitalism will save us!

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

the bit-torrent file sharing protocol was the real cyber-communist manifesto the whole time

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Get off the phone! I'm trying to use the Communism!

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago
[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"You wouldn't download a Communism"

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd download anything I could get my Commie mitts on.

That old thing about "Would you download a car?" Goddamn right I would.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

iirc they had to change it from "download" to "steal" because the overwhelming response was "hell yeah I'd download a car!" XD

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Obligatory "they stole the music for that clip"

It always reminded me of the Batman: Beyond intro music.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

If I could download a free car through the Internet, I don't care what you call it, I'm in.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Vietnam is communist and they're the world's darlings.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 3 days ago

Seems like as good a reason as any to do it.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Vintage iMac in this vintage meme

[–] halm@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

My immediate thought as well πŸ‘

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

This poster seems to indicate that piracy and/or communism are bad things. They are not. Capitalism is a bad thing (unless you are at the top 10% of the wealthiest people on earth). A bit of an imbalance that is not good. When I say 'poster' I mean the image (like posters they used to sell at K-Mart), not the person who posted.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Isn't like average US income enough to put you in the top 10% on earth?

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Only good communism is good. Because of the most common "communism" in reality is a dictatorship regime masked under this ideology.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No one system is perfect. Humans can't be pinned down and are often at odds with their own beliefs. The best we can shoot for is "Communish" and "Socialish" and just try our best to look out for one another and the planet.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nevermind. I just mocked a little bit people who believe that they can create a system that will be good for everyone.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't mock them. Thank them for at least trying. Peace.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Well, then they should at least try new names and definitions since many people associate communism with something bad. Similar to socialism. It simply provokes controversial thoughts because of bad examples in history. Also, I said that only true communism can be good, but this implies a perfect system, which, sadly, is impossible in our reality since nothing can be perfect.

I am not against them trying to achieve peace, it just looks a little bit pointless to me assuming the human nature.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 3 days ago

Then call me the Pinko Pirate, or the Bolshevik Bootlegger or the Commie Collector.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

Arbeiter Bauern, nehmt die Gewehre, nehmt die Gewehre zur Hand...

People still download mp3s like it's the early 2000s? Get with the times, use OPUS

walt disney about to make donald duck join the nazis again and start downloading fantasia.
