    MULLVAD! Wireguard configuration! Quantum resistant encryption! Multi-hop!

    ProtonVPN!

    Qbittorrent!

    Sorry…there I go again with my Tourette’s syndrome, spouting off the names of random software.

    You should never pirate things! How are billionaires supposed to afford their colossal mansions on huge plots of land in the most expensive areas of the world if we pirate things?!

    Billionaires had to step on and fuck over so many people to get where they are now! If we pirate things, they won’t be able to afford their platinum toilets covered in diamonds! Or their $50,000 watches. or their $5000 designer suits that they wear once and throw away every day.

      They complain about profit margin, when the margin is it costs 3 billion to make 3.5 billion. I mean, after everything is paid off, they are only left with 500 million. Can’t you see that it cost them 3 billion to make that 500 million? They just paid 3 billion for that.

      I really wonder if they think that sometimes.

        But then they get free money from the government in the form of “subsidies”

        When disabled and poor folks need money it’s “GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS!” and “WELLFARE!” But when billionaire scammers get money from the government it’s “subsidies” and “pumping liquidity in the form of quantitive easing”

          Oh, don’t get me started on all the bailouts and the companies that are too big to let fail. And what about the free market? What’s supposed to happen in a free market? Even Adam Smith, the person coined the term capitalism, believes unregulated capitalism will not work.

            Yeah, but the only regulations we have are written by the billionaires. If regulations were written by someone more like FDR or what Bernie Sanders pretended to be. Then we’d be living in a utopia
