It won't turn out how you want it to. They'll find a way to make their opinions protected and not yours, if not immediately then in the long run. That's the number one rule of the game: the proles always lose.
Ah, great, we should just let them run with it and never try, then.
I swear, defeatism gets me so bad. It may just be the most conservative power at work, along with "all politicians are the same".
Incidentally, anybody thinking about a class action over Sony removing lifetime access to Funimation movie downloads? Because it's the second time in a year they risk it on that one and I deeeeefinitely want to see that tested in court.
You misunderstand me. My point isn't that we should give up entirely, it's simply that we stop trying to "beat them at their own game" (and force them to play ours instead).
I'm not sure what you think "our" game is.
I mean, in my game there is a functioning rule of law where separation of powers is real and universal access to the justice system is enforced regardless of income level. In that game when you set a rule that rule is applied across the board. And yeah, if the system is not playing that game you're supposed to make it play it.
Is that the game? Because it's a good game.
