So just to be clear
Much can be understood about someone's sense of morality in their actions (eligible for moral consideration) toward the disadvantaged. Does that person treat others as that person would want to be treated by them? Do they prioritize a cause that doesn't address a credible harm over their easily addressable actions that do cause credible harm?
Your moral code & moral claims seem confused & mistaken.
Haters gonna hate.
Answered: that part you didn't read.
It's funny the largely anti-capitalist crowd doesn't care about intellectual property until their favorite bogeyman shows up. Then they suddenly "care": whatever it takes to take down AI, right? Even if it takes us down with it.
I don't like weak arguments that try to manipulate our emotions with our favorite targets of animus, nebulous claims of threats to cherished values, misuse of the word fascism. The person's liberty to express themselves (even in ways we dislike with technology we dislike) is more important than an argument that rings false.
Your moral hypocrisy? The coherence of your "moral code"?
Does it suck to be judged for the actions you've demonstrated here?
I'm also not here contemplating killing someone over dubious theft (of expressions!): that was all you.
Also, whenever I come across it & feel moved: the casual inconsiderateness of online images of text is noticeable & easy to call out. Instead of distracting nonsense, turning that useless online outrage & public shame toward something concrete we ourselves can address today (like web accessibility) might do some tangible good for a change. Sustained long enough, it might catch on & make us more considerate in that 1 small yet noticeable way.
Does it? Someone here should be ashamed.
If we're done getting distracted with ourselves, the point remains that the article is a manipulative argument lacking substance.
