I wanna listen to a particular song by an artist who has recently turned pretty nazi. As I generally use Spotify I now refuse to listen to his music in there, esp as it generates earnings. I kinda wanna pirate the music somehow…I’m not gonna as I’m not gonna down a song or two and then store it on my phone like it’s the year 2000. But short story is this me justifying piracy to myself.

      Yeah, sure sucks when people go out of their way to bend their personal code of supporting creatives they enjoy to ensure they don’t contribute money to a hateful bigot who actively makes things worse for vulnerable minorities. Yeah, that sure is motivated by external approval of internet strangers.
