There is no ‘high horse’ here.

🤣 Says the person actively judging others for their perceived moral failings, from their high horse.

People need to quit with their bullshit justifications.

You may not agree with it or understand it, and that's fine. I'm saying don't act like we all think that it's wrong like you do and are going against our own belief systems. You are the one doing that, not me.

The fuck are you on about Christianity? There is literally no connection to religion/beliefs here.

Oh but there absolutely is, and you put literally zero effort into putting any thought into whether it did or not, your knee jerked and you went right back to defaulting your YOUR belief system and insisting everyone else follow it. Sounds exactly like some groups I could think of, I'll let you puzzle that one out for yourself.

People can’t afford to pay for it? Cool. It’s still piracy.

You cant' afford to eat? Cool, it's still stealing when you nick a loaf or bread.

One is still depriving the creator/studio/publisher/whatever of a sale.

OH NO! You mean to tell me that I've deprived a billionaire of a couple of pennies?! I deserve to rot in hell.

Ridiculous

I agree. It's ridiculous that you are only able to look at it from one very specific, capitalist boot licking pov and not even consider other peoples point of view. Must feel good to be so righteous and holy.
