#1 Make a big noise that copyright and patents are tools of white supremacy and oppression. Then sit back and watch all those woke corporate types try to square the circle.

#2 If they cancel enough legacy content, the underlying copyrights become worthless anyway.

#3 And just as the UAW makes no money on the resale of a used car, I don't think there's any copyright revenue generated when that used Dr, Suess book or Warner Bros. cartoon collection DVD changes hands at the flea market, so cancel away, boys...

#4 In response, a visibly discomfited Mr. Blinken mumbled something barely coherent that at least America deals with its problems in the open. He then complained, like a bested debater, that his opponent had gone over his allotted time.

Yeah 18 minutes over his allotted 2 mins...Blinken should've gotten up and walked out at 3 minutes in

#6 #3 that is already in effect. What I imply is that stuff that is pirated on the industrial scale. You know, just like the Chinese do now.

#7 Lenin thought he was so clever. He was dead of "an incurable disease of the blood vessels" by 1924.

The Bolsheviks thought they were clever too; they turned capitalism against itself and managed to destroy the social immune system that kept psychopaths in check. Most of them wound up as skeletons paving the bottom of the White Sea Canal, where Stalin sent them to be worked to death.

I'm sure it was just a coincidence.

#8 Think they would've tried this shit with Pompeo?

Never. Not with Trump either. Same for the Russians. Putin is openly mocking Biden.

Whatever they or anyone thought of Trump and his tweets, it was always obvious that he is an alpha male who doesn't take any shit and who knows how to negotiate.

It's obvious to the world that Blinken is a ghey soyboy and his boss a pathetic, mentally decrepit invalid. Fun times ahead.
