How does one not believe in free will? Asking seriously.

Ma Bell by another name. We used to have anti-monopoly laws in this country.

That's 121.8 freedom units for my fellow Americans who don't think that sounds all that bad. Oh well. We're breaking records, that's good right‽ We really are frogs in a pot.

Doing something because you want to is vastly different from expecting everything to be free.

Whenever I see FOSS offered as a solution I have to wonder if that person is paying for their own food, shelter, transportation and what have you, or if they are still living with their parents and not making any attempt to support themselves.

Nothing is free. There is a cost incurred at some point. The minimum cost is time, a finite commodity for all living beings, and effort, but other things require materials, which cost someone some time and effort to find, extract, or otherwise produce.

I certainly don't say any of this in defense of capitalism, but "free" is a nonsense concept in human life. It simply doesn't exist.

I have a Cowboy Bebop shirt. I have not watched Cowboy Bebop. The shirt was on sale and I needed an emergency shirt. I wear my Cowboy Bebop shirt without shame or remorse.

I'm not quite certain how I should take that. I'm just me, living my set of experiences, and forming my opinions accordingly.

Some of us are pretty damn far left. ACAB and 2A go together like hand and glove. Armed minorities, be they POC or queer are harder to push around and abuse, both for cops and bigots who think they are vigilante superheroes. Fascism needs its populace disarmed as well. I'd love to live in a world where I was safe unarmed, but I have drawn in self defense against both man and beast. Arm up, comrades, and train. Know the rules and your rights.
