  • Yeah, I agree with your take. I can see why people are annoyed with the eggs and dragons cluttering the shops.

    But that being said— Most of the models I’ve seen are ones you can pay the creator for a license to print and sell it for a profit. It’s pretty easy to find that kind of deal and the contract is explicit in their listing. So, the original designers will be losing business too since they bank off of making cute model files and collect passive income from people who want to print and sell the item.

    Considering how much crap is on Etsy, maybe I’m missing something, but I am not sure why the crack down now—and on 3D prints of all things.

    I actually think 3D printers at home will end up replacing a lot of things that used to be shipped from China. I’m already seeing the edges of this but time will tell if that trend keeps going that way. But I 3D print so, I notice functional things I can make all the time.

    I think you make a good point—I wonder what site they’ll jump to?

    Interesting. I mean, I’m sure Bernie has faults but I don’t really see the point in attacking someone who created and is holding the only tent pole for, frankly, a reasonable middle of the road candidate (if we view him in comparison to the rest of the sane world).

    I get giving shit to Corey Booker. People are gray. I can list a handful of things that Corey has done lately that fit this meme.

    I honestly don’t even know what this meme is referring to maybe I’m out of the loop.
    But I agree with you, attacking Bernie isn’t the way. Reeks of agent provocateur.

    My guess is it’s a fresh wave of propaganda to wedge the progressives. What’s new.

    People don’t have to be perfect for us to join the cause and make it better. Don’t fall for it kids. We only get out of this if we ignore this bullshit and link arms.

    Ps: and look, I get it if Bernie isn’t left enough for some of you. That’s ok to feel that way and it’s probably true for a good lot of you. But attacking him ain’t gonna solve the massive fuckstorm we are collectively going to go through. We either quit bullshit like this or die from factionalization. Like every other movement has in the past 95 years.
