What a principled, deeply moronic stance.

Right back at you, except the part about being principled.

Using the word "piracy" isn't what harms the community. Politicians who are receiving bribes from industry associations is.

Not using the word isn't going to stop any of them or make their gaslighting any less effective. Getting money out of politics will and, until that becomes possible, educating the ignorant will help.

Being "right" doesn't make you immune to consequences

Oh wow, I had no idea! This is totally new information!

You live in a world with other people, and what they do effects you.

Again, absolute news to me! Are you being an extremely condescending ass on purpose or is that just your automatic response any time someone disagree with your shallow understanding of complex issues?
