    It’s so weird that Americans cling to feudal landlord mentality like a lifeline, and also call it “freedom”.

    And by landlord mentality I’m not just talking about conservative thinking. It also drives the idea that it’s perfectly fine to learn skills by watching what other people do and then basing new work on it - but when software does that, it’s “stealing”. Righteous outrage! Not fair! That’s mine! Just another form of landlordism, but it’s the good kind! (as usual)
