Obviously, supporting a New York real estate billionaire is anti-establishment for some reason (feddit.de)

“Stealing I can accept, but having an opinion that’s different from my own is where I draw the line.”

Piracy isn't stealing, primarily since the victim still has the pirated goods and can continue to sell them, but doubly so since people who pay for those goods legitimately don't own them and are at the complete mercy of the company to continue to access them. History is rife with examples of companies removing access to digitally paid for goods with no explanation or recourse. Look at the recent PlayStation fiasco, or Warner Brothers cancelling Infinity Train and Inside Job (and pulling the completed seasons from streaming services) because they wanted a tax write-off.
Questioning the validity of science and half the global population's worth of empirical evidence and endangering oneself and others purely to be contrarian, and, more importantly, continuing to support someone who calls immigrants vermin and quotes Mussolini in his campaign speeches goes beyond "having a different opinion"

WHAT THE FUCK, as if the cancellation wasn't bad enough, I only now learned they removed Infinity Train from streaming. Fuck you WB

This is one of the reasons why piracy exists.
