That's just a longer way of saying "reward them for taking games away while you can"..

a Republican with strong conservative views

Translation from cowardly media speak to accurate English: a Fascist.

shifting the agency’s focus from consumer protections to reducing ISP regulations and targeting Big Tech.

Translation: giving it the Louis DeJoy treatment and extorting the big tech companies NOT currently fellating Trump until they start doing so.

Captain Ancap is useful for exactly one thing: whatever he does, the opposite is always the right thing to do.

He's the Argentine version of Piers Morgan's opinions, except the latter is at least right about gun control.

Talk about scratchy! 😬

This is pretty much an open letter to Biden.

Anyone who's paying attention knows that not much happens before the Empire takes its responsibility as self-appointed masters of the world seriously, and nobody is under any illusions that the incoming administration is not going to make everything much worse if allowed to.

This part is also very typical:

An Arab taxi driver was also attacked by mobs who appeared to be with the Israeli fans, although police said they couldn't identify the nationality of the attackers as no arrests were made.

Had it been an Arab mob attacking an Israeli taxi driver, you BET there'd have been arrests!

Hell, if it had happened in the US, the taxi driver would probably have been arrested for bruising the knuckles of the Israelis with bogus charges of "resisting arrest" and "assaulting a police officer" tacked on to increase the length of their sentence!

Remove Your Media LLC (RYM) is believed to have acted frequently on Crunchyroll's behalf, per testimony on social media and an extensive report by Anime Motivation this year.

The top six included Link-Busters.com (1.52 billion links reported), MG Premium Ltd.

I'll take entities that the world would be better without for 100, Alex.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the content the same content that they semi-recently made impossible to access in any legal way? The stuff that they're refusing to even sell access to?

Because if so, they can fuck right off even more than most copyright hawks.

I'm afraid that this new favorite of mine might have contributed to the confusion 🤔

If by "grab", you mean "pirate". Don't reward them for taking games away.

In 2003/2004 would people have said the same thing compared to Reagan, or Nixon? That compared to Bush, Reagan seems downright reasonable, or compared to Bush, Nixon seams down right reasonable

They did and, other than Reagan, they were right.

I remember a lot of protests against The Patriot Act? And against Guantanamo Bay?

Which are still intolerable atrocities that would never be allowed in a well-functioning society.

I remember a lot of right-wing patriotism sweeping through the USA and people being condemned for not falling in line

Yes, there WAS a lot, but nowhere near as much as now.

Are you sure 2003/2004 was a more reasonable time?

Absolutely. 100%. 2004 conservatism is to today's fascism what sticks of dynamite are to thermonuclear weapons.
