Warhol would probably approve of this, tbh

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's not in the public sphere but your private collection, so you do you chap.
In my opinion privately owned art of a high enough cultural value should either not be allowed to be privately owned, or if it is then it should have to be on permanent loan to free admission public galleries. But that's not the case.
Oh no!
So anyway…
Remind me, why do you guys not like Assange (or WikiLeaks by extension) again? Is it just the Clinton leaks stuff?
If he were interested in bringing things to light he would have released all the information he had, but he didn't, he held back for US Conservatives. He did right-wing politics in the US a big favor.
He has an agenda, and it's not press freedom.
You? Who are you talking to? I, for one, like him
Oh no I like Assange. I have heard some people before saying negative things about WikiLeaks and by extension Assange so I asked. My understanding was they think/thought it's beholden to the Kremlin or something.
I mean I don't think it's beholden to the Kremlin, but I do think that Julian Assange participated in the same type of secretive disinformation campaign that he claimed to vehemently oppose. I also think he's not really a man driven by principles, but one driven by ego and fame.
I also think he, like 90% of powerful men involved in tech, probably uses his position of power to sexually harass women.
it could also be chelsea manning. some people cant get enough of that five-sided dick.
Its an interesting point that some historical art being destroyed is more upsetting than a person dying. Of course if we're going to make this point, why Assange, and not, say, Gazans?
why not both?
If you destroy privately owned art that the public couldn't see, does it make a sound?
The concept of private ownership is weird, if you think about it. It's like penguins collecting stones they've found and not letting anyone come close
When you describe it like that... I feel like it makes more sense. Like, of course the penguin is gonna want his safety stones. I buy that.
what happened to the days when drama queens like this just went on a hunger strike, instead of destroying things people actually like
At least this guy is being creative
