That's the worst take I have ever seen on plagiarism. Claiming the result of someone else's labor as your own is clearly bourgeois behavior. Plus, for research, a clear paper trail is essential to making sure the speaker is not making shit up.
Bourgeois isn't a feeling, it's a class relation. Copying publicly accessible, infinitely repoducible information and signing your name on it is shitty, but it isn't stealing surplus value.
Plagiarism should be discouraged for this reason.
when a major queer youtuber steals the entire bodies of work of much, much smaller queer writers, profiting on their work and returning not even the means for social reproduction, they've expropriated surplus value and then some. some of the people stolen from died from AIDS, in obscurity, while others received pennies on the dollar for their work. half the video was building up cases of what plagiarism looks like in order to make this charge.
And yet, certain behaviors get caught up within that class and are replicated outside of it. If you get money without performing labor, that's stealing surplus value. Simple as. Social capital is also crucial, so your argument is invalid.
