…more scientists are admitting that philosophy spawned their lifestyle…
Do you think, given the fact that philosophers (mostly known for abstract thinking, detached from the external world) have created the foundations of the Scientific method, that this impacted Science, which is praised for its empirical and practical aspect, in a bad way?
it is the individual delusions (not meant in a negative way) that are useful and fallible at the same time.
This is an interesting idea. What probably is weakening Science today is how strictly it demands a nonexistent objectivity from Scientists, who have sentiments and biases just like all other people. It forces them to supress their valid subjective aspect from their works, which unintentionally provokes more fraud to pass unquestioned.

Not exactly one torrent, but you can make one yourself

The thing is, say you meet someone for the first time irl. Next day, you’re interested maintaining some sort of connection with them but you don’t have their phone number, only their name. What do you do? Search for them on Instagram. There’s no way you will be finding them on say Mastodon or Pixelfed, especially in developing countries where for 99% of the people, Facebook = The whole ass internet. That’s the harsh truth. I use instagram only to maintain those not so close friendships and connections, and by “maintain” I mean follwing them and liking their posts from time to time. I might open IG once or twice in a week from the browser. As for Facebook, I deleted my account a while ago.
I appreciate your sportsmanship.
So you suggest twisting it with a more humorous tone?
All I’m saying is there should be some effort put into a meme; what OP made here was a low effort political statement and could have found a more suitable place to post it other than here.
Even the creator of this post has used the nonpolitical community
Of course he would, hence asserting that !memes has become a political arena.
Usually memes follow a certain template; they have an “inside joke” type of vibe. I understand the urge in defending this post because of its message, but note that this is in no way a “meme”. It’s merely a collage of two unsourced images and portrays no comedic effect (quite the opposite in fact). I find it even hard to classify it as a political meme. At this point it’s mere propaganda regardless of wether it is for good or ill. Surely there are more suitable communities for this post than here.
And c/non-political memes shouldn’t have been a thing in the first place if this community wasn’t being misused.
To give more context, there was a similar UN resolution in 2002, in which the USA also voted against
As for the 2021 resolution, the US mission to the UN explained their decision to yet again reject the right to food.
Paradoxically, the phenomenon of piracy (but also theft and similar crimes) is an integral feature of the capitalist system, even though such an act is deemed illegal and damaging to the values of free market.
Now the act itself does not intrinsically possess a revolutionary character. When browsing r/piracy, for example, one can notice that users who partake in piracy rarely have emancipatory sentiments in their philosophy. They operate from within the capitalist system and genuinely believe in the values maintained by capitalism. Their identity as pirates depends on its existence. Video games and movies today are the product of the capitalist system and, I suspect, they are the biggest source of ideological diffusion. Book piracy is a bit different, because pirates relate the activity to a noble idea or cause which is the openness of knowledge and the means to accumulate it, a sentiment that gives way to social consciousness.
