- DirkH 2y agoConsider a homeless person stole from a food bank to sell the food to make money - and nowhere acknowledged where the food came from or that others can get the same food for free; and moreover claimed "this is fresh food I have meticulously sourced myself!" Everyone from the foodbank to other homeless people would justifiably be furious at this scam artist when they learn more. That's the morally repugnant situation we find ourselves in with Honey. Copyleft infringement is perhaps better thought of as stealing from a foodbank than government corruption.
- fallingknife 2y agoSaid on a forum where 99% of the posters are rich. When I see drivel like this it reminds me to be grateful that I wasn't born with the narcissistic delusion to believe that my behavior is privileged and morally superior to the same by others. The height of insanity is seeing yourself as the moral arbiter of the universe.
