Hey all. I'm the original creator of this graphic. Just wanted to note that the skull and bones I used is from an actual pirate flag from the 19th century. Just a fun fact.

Never have. Never will.
I remember that day of the “general strike” where the simple idea was to not spend any money on big corps. I got confused, because to me, that’s a 365-day-a-year lifestyle thing for me.
Maybe I’m lucky that I don’t have lifestyle needs like pet food, baby supplies, etc, and markets have been cornered there. But there’s plenty of forms of entertainment and leisure without giving it to Disney or Amazon and the like.
Being a pirate is what makes you free. All hail communism.
Is there any type of post that doesn't belong in a shitposting community? Because I know some people have very strong opinions about what shitposting is around here. And personally, I don't think this fits. But maybe shitposting is meant to just be a pure miscellaneous grab bag of anything? Yes, I read the community rules which say "everything goes", but the reality of what is posted seems to suggest a different spirit of the law.
Nah let the votes decide. Block people who consistently post what you don't want to see. You can make your own experience and everyone gets the one they want
Its tricky because I don't dislike this post, but I do feel like posts should be in the appropriate comms. And I'm just legitimately unclear on what belongs here. I guess the idea is just whatever people post?
Pretty much. C/lemmyshitpost kind of goes through moods to so if you're not liking something give it a month. There was a no-politics meta for a while, right now we're kind of horny, maybe we'll get a crime wave 🏴☠️ here going forward. We also see sporadic aneurism posting and that's always exciting.
Check out TheShitPostOffice and shitpost@piefed for some more traditional material
This is way too wholesome to be a shitpost.
Don't stop there! Replace all Big Tech apps:
I like to point people to privacyguides.org and fmhy.net instead. Best to prioritize open source to avoid inevitable enshittification wherever possible.
I would go to the high seas but I don’t know where to start. I used to visit the high seas often about 10 years ago. But now. Shrugs shoulders.
Quick start guide:
- VPN, my recommendation: mullvadVPN. (You need this, because copyright trolls look for easy targets, such as people having their real IP exposed. You don't want to be that, they won't fight with the VPNs hosting partner, then with the VPN company, then with your ISP, just to get to you, they only extort people they can reach directly.)
- Download qBittorrent (FOSS) and install ALL search plugins
- Activate your VPN and search with the integrated search function, it will look through all sites you installed plugins for and present them to you directly in the programme.
- Enjoy a collection of TV and movies you actually own.
There is a setting to bind qbittorrent to your vpn. PLEASE use this as using it without accidentally could get you in trouble. The binding is a last resort safety mechanism to prevent it from even working if the vpn is off.

I’d also recommend the Megathread from the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/
Main thing is to know if your ISP cares or not. Mine does, so I use a vpn. You can set qbittorrent to only use the vpn so if it gets turned off then just nothing will download.
You can do that on windows just downloading something like qbittorrent and mullvad vpn. You can also set them up in docker containers if you are familiar with that. It allows you to have the vpn only affect qbittorrent rather than your whole PC.
I do all of this on linux as well but had originally set it up on windows.
But where from?
10 years ago it was just pirate bay
Visit fmhy it will give you a comphrehensive guide
That still exists. I like 1337x.to as well.
qbittorrent, use the search tab
Additionally to the other answers, take a look at stremio with Torrentio. A few of my friends use it (I'm using a private tracker), it's basically as convenient as using Netflix AFAICS.
Note that a VPN might be required to avoid getting fined in some countries as stremio is basically simply torrenting videos sequentially and simultaneously playing them, and torrent is often monitored by authorities

The best way to start is to visit fmhy just search it on the web. Learn and be a pirate sail the seas and keep information to yourself and not spread out your gold to the public like a true pirate

As an European, my mindset for this year has been "its amoral to not pirate American media"

If only the masses had the will to fight their own subjugation.
Ah, back to spreading nihilism again, I see. I'll share the same thing I said last time:
I understand how you feel, but we actually do have the power to change our world. We need to first recognize that something needs to be done, build a popular consensus, network and build connections with like-minded people, and start a real movement for change.
Electoralism has not solved our problems in the past, and it won’t do so in the future. At best, it is harm prevention, and at worst, it’s a distraction from more effective efforts. I encourage people to vote for the candidates they feel best, but to be aware that it’s not a real, long term solution. It’s always just the best of two terrible candidates, both of whom ultimately serve the ruling class.
The problems we have did not start and will not end with Trump, they are in the fundamental roots of our society, and the road to change our society is a long and difficult one, but it is a journey we have to undertake. We are going to have to act if we want to live in a better world. Simply giving in to nihlism is not an option.
You have no actual plan other than a plea to "try". Funny that you criticize the nihilist's lack of trying but not the general population's. Even though both result in the same inaction. Atleast the nihilist usually once cared, unlike the masses who can't be bothered to ever care. Good luck though. Keep pleading with the wall of indifference, laziness and self-interest that keeps people from ever taking group action.
I am a union rep and organizer, I have a front row seat to the movement which is building and growing every day.
Everything you say is rationalization. If change is impossible, that lets you justify your own inaction.
The indifference, laziness and self-interest you perceive is just your own reflection staring back at you.
If you're a union rep and organizer then you should know better. Unions have been dying for 60 years and only came into existence because people were so poorly treated they were willing to fight, and possibly die, as some did, instead of labour. Their bargaining position was also considerably stronger, not having to compete against a world labour market or the viability of moving production to other nations.
The extremity of the situation provoked action, organizing only facilitated, it didn't provoke it. You are doing a significant amount of rationalizing on your end. Change isn't impossible, it happens all the time, but intentional change through group effort is not caused by eager organizers who just believe enough. People en masse must be provoked to action by circumstance.
There is a habitually lying, child rapist, conman and fraud, whose been granted legally immunity to violate the constitution and all laws, twice elected, and sitting in the White House, supported by the entire GOP and half the nation. People can't seem to figure out they should act to deal with that. Good ideas and wise choices don't make people act, desperation, necessity and self-interest do. Circumstances do. That's why propaganda and distractions work so well, they are the circumstances.
Nihilism and realism look the same to an optimist. That's you right now. Rationalizing away observed history to retain your will to act because you can't face a harsh truth about the disappointment and inefficacy of convincing mass behavior out of people.
You have no idea what you're talking about. In the last year or so there has been a huge surge of people getting involved after realizing that shit has to change. I have heard so many stories of how people are becoming radicalized.
People are waking up, they are doing what you say they should be, while you're sitting around, doing nothing but bringing negativity, and justifying it to yourself.
Do nothing if you want, we don't need you, but keep your defeatist attitude to yourself.
Be careful with what you are watching in the next few years. Hollywood gave itself a diverse face in the last few years. Put in black actors, had some strong women in lead roles, had some gay characters and so on. I'm afraid that we will see some movies pushing hart right MAGA topics in the next time. Movies that are pushing for traditional gender roles, have gay people as evil masterminds, immigrants as criminals and so on. We already saw that with all those movies with evil arab guys in the bush era. Hollywood was taken over by Trump's tech billionaires, you will see this turn it in the media you are watching. That will influence you and maybe you shouldn't watch such stuff
Coming soon to a movie theatre near you. And every streaming service. And as an unskipable 3hr 30min ad on Youtube. And as part of the start-up routine of Windows 12.
INT. FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE - DAY
JOHN RAMBO
"Cap, these woke, gay immigrants want to stop generative AI. We have to stop them."
BATMAN
"Rambo's right, and these disabled lesbian Democrat voters will stop at nothing. They must be detained, processed and, where necessary - which is always - terminated."
INDIANA JONES
"Agreed, Batman. We absolutely have to protect our billionaires' wealth and their way of life. We've got might on our side. I know Hunt, McClane, and Reacher are in and, all the way from across the pond, so is Bond. And Harry Potter. But do we have Bourne and Skywalker?"
CYBERDYNE SYSTEMS MODEL 101 [AKA THE TERMINATOR]
"Affirmative. Both have answered the call! And we have Toretto and Blade."
HANNIBAL LECTER
"Wait. Toretto and Blade are both... un-white."
have gay people as evil masterminds
<Looks at current tech billionaires>
Being gay doesn't stop you from being evil.
We’ll get a J6 biopic with the finalized version the self-myth the regime wants to cement.

Or you could ignore those services and watch indie stuff instead and pay for those directly
There's art out there that's worth buying. You don't have to pirate anything
Also, who cares if you don't see the latest prequel or sequel or reboot or preboot or requel by Disney? Be proudly out of the loop
If you don't watch big streamers' releases at all, you give them even less power. And if you buy indie, you give their competition power. You break the monopoly.
This is the ideal and one of the reasons I watched Youtube in the first place. I've found amazing stuff over time, like Veritasium, but I miss oldschool scripted media. Especially calmer stuff with fewer cuts. So much modern cinema is too fast.
If anyone has any recommendations for indies, I'd love to hear them.

It goes without saying that boycotts by themselves are an ineffective system of effecting change, and that everyone who wants to fight against fascism must take further action.
I encourage everyone to get involved in local activist efforts, join or form a union, join the IWW, read through an anarchist FAQ, get involved in protests, vote for the most progressive candidates possible including in primaries, and use every possible tool and avenue of resistance at your disposal, both legal and illegal.
Your link is broken btw
I uploaded an image through the Sync app. It shows as a link for you?
Yeah, the image's URL has a space in it so it doesn't show up properly
