Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

The Japanese new left was wild in general lmao
I'm not sure where they were going with this one honestly. They wanted to take the plane to Cuba, but it was a domestic flight in a Boeing 727 from Tokyo to Fukuoka. The plan was to get to Cuba and get training as guerilla fighters. But the airline didn't have nearly enough fuel to cross an ocean. Instead it was negotiated that the plane would get refueled in Fukuoka, the hostages released, then taken to Pyongyang, DPRK. Why did the Red Army guys not realize a 727 isn't big enough to cross the Pacific ocean? Just a weird plan, but they were also allowed to bring samurai swords on board for some reason
Socialist insurrection back around 1970 seemed so wild and spur of the moment. Like the Weather Underground bombing the Pentagon.
