And lately I'm noticing an uproar of ideologies that claim to be pro-freedom in one way or another, but which threaten freedom as a whole. I think there is a certain *copyright mentality* to them. Certain misunderstanding of *ownership* which makes fighting for freedom more complex.", "author": {"avatar": "https://blenderdumbass.org/pictures/favicon.png", "bio": "Aka: J.Y. Amihud.
