The average Lemmy user knows fuck all about, security, privacy, operating systems, act like they are unique, and are inclusive despite wanting more people to understand more about the way they see things.
Libertarianism and anarchism aren't cool and don't work.
You are a part of the problem if you hate Nintendo but think you are helping the developer by pirating their games.
You are an even bigger problem to bringing more people to your way of thinking if you are constantly negative about those people buying something they like just because you wouldn't.
Thinking you are alternative because everything you think is mainstream makes you mainstream.
Your choice of FOSS and OS doesn't make that product good by design. Just because you can't operate and OS doesn't make that OS bad.
I thought that was just common sense for anyone with 2 working neurons.
You would be thinking wrong with some of the Lemmy crowd here.
No he just wants to sound like a wannabe meta-contrarian cool hipster.

Libertarianism and anarchism aren't cool and don't work, just like capitalism.
You are a part of the problem if you love Nintendo and think you are helping these game companies by not pirating their games. You are the reason why they make money grabbing DLC and microtransaction infested shit games and repainted remakes.
You are an even bigger problem to bringing more people to your way of thinking if you are constantly ignorant and positive about those people buying something they like even though you wouldn't because it harms you.
Thinking you are meta-contrarian because everything contrarian you think is anti-mainstream and hipster makes you almost as unreasonable as mainstream.
Your choice of closed source software and OS doesn't make that product good simply due to popularity. Just because you can operate and OS doesn't make that OS good.
