      I love to see people saying "Why are you dumb authors mad about piracy when it's your publishers that are the real predatory content thieves? Why aren't you organizing against them - or, better yet, going independent?" Near-total confidence born of near-total ignorance

      Like what warmed me to @davidclowery's takes on this issue was him pointing out just how absurdly common this rant is and it's ALWAYS from people who have no direct experience with it whatsoever

      "Just self-publish! Advertise on social media! Set up a tip jar! Sell merch! It's SO EASY There's SO MUCH MONEY free for the taking on the Internet Why are you dumb losers insistent on shackling yourselves to outmoded dinosaurs"

      It's so, so, so, so stupid Like if anyone talked like that about whatever your actual primary vocation is you would instantly recognize it as smarmy online rando bullshit

      It's the exact same level as "Why waste money on groceries when you can start a garden and grow your own food" Like seriously shut the fuck up

      Love to see people who seem to consider themselves hipster leftists say the same "Be your own boss, who needs the middleman" nonsense as libertarian douches who are into Bitcoin

          FUCKING THIS so much of this sort of rhetoric is basically just a dressed-up appeal to pastoralism, a reflexive hatred of the *bureaucracy* and *systems* a just and complex modern world requires "wasn't it better when a man could provide for himself?!"

          Just. Fuck. So much of the discourse around all these topics is appeals to *FANTASY. "I can envision a kinder world, it is therefore possible and inevitable if we just get the middlemen/systems/structures out of the way."
