Hate it all you want. There's a buck to be made by our owners, so it will proceed.

Humanity at large is literally letting humanity's owner class destroy our species' only habitat, Earth, in the name of further growing their ego scores in the form of short term profit.

Who gives a shit about them stealing a dead celebrity's voice in the face of that? The hyper-rich stealing IP from the regular rich is wrong and should be illegal, but is clearly pretty far down the totem pole. Let's say we put all our effort into stopping them from doing that and win. We're still terraforming the planet to be less hospitable to human life, Zelda Williams included.

Priorities, can we have them? And no we can't "do both," because we have had no success stopping the owner class from doing anything that hurts others to further enrich themselves. I'm for putting all our effort into our species still being able to feed itself and having enough fresh water.

Extremely anti post-modern-organic bias you seem to have. If we dont fill space with plastic and heat it enough, then HOW exactly do you propose we encourage establishing an entire Carbon-Polyethylene based evolutionary tree ?? ๐ŸŒณ
