It's revealing that you care so much about white mercs from Wagner but totally ignore casualties of black Malian troops killed by local AlQaeda branch with support of Ukraine. Seems like it's impossible to be supportive towards Ukraine without being at least a bit racist.

Noone in US or EU would care about expiration of Zelensky’s presidential term as long as he's reliable supplier of cannon fodder for proxy NATO-Russia war. Roosevelt's words on Somoza ("he may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch') would apply here as well.

The whole point of "ethical" piracy is ridiculous. It's old good corporate anti-piracy propaganda but rechewed with some progressive takes. "You wouldn't download an indie car", literally. If you need some justifications and excuses for piracy, than just don't pirate at all. The fact that i'm downloading some game from torrent because i've broken purchased DVD with it never makes me more ethical in any way than some other leecher on the same torrent who's never going to pay for it.

Only the content that i don't care about.

Promotion of new public pirate resourses always depends on catching traffic from search engines and never on reddit posts. This actually means that promotion of public tracker is by far easier than promoting a gatewalled one. Also this means that active public tracker would have constant influx of new users who don't know about rutracker, 1337x and so on.

By the way, promoting useful public pirate resourses is always a good thing, so there is no point in treating complaints about this with understanding or respect.

Yes, Ukrainian soldiers on front line are worried about cancer and birth defects. They are rational human beings who hope to return to their homes and live long lives and grow healthy children, not some subhumans with only intent to kill, kill, kill, as you wish to think.

"Looting toilets" is the funniest part. Do you really believe that Ukraine is such pauper country that invading soldiers couldn't loot anything more valuable than used toilets from occupied cities? It's required to have literally zero critical thinking in order not to understand that this is propagandistic bullshit.

The main thing with free sports streaming is that they are not maintained by pirate enthusiasts. It's sponsored by non licensed betting operators which can't make legal advertizing. This exactly means that any kind of banning of websites or pirate broadcasts would have no effect; siteops would add new unbanned domain to existing infrastructure and would continue their operation. You should say thanks to addictive gamblers for your free sports streaming!

Piracy movie streaming websites rely on CDN servers to exist. This are servers where films are hosted and from where films are streamed. This is very big infrastructure investment (by far bigger than is required to run popular torrent tracker) which is not possible for random pirate enthusiast with web develolment skills. This means that most of those sites are run by pirate enterprises (it's known fact that most of those CDNs are sponsored by illegal gambling operators that's why many of pirate streaming cinema is spammed with casino advertising). So most of similiar looking streaming sites are whitelabels: this means they have same owners, common CDN, same backend and only differ with domains, frontend skins and also they could have a bit different films in database. Such sites are created to get most of free traffic from search engines (so if positions of one site would drop, other site from same owners could raise and compensate this drop).

If you are able to get all the content you need from public trackers and you don't worry about copyright agancies tracking you than there's no reason for you at all to bother with private trackers.
