    They’re destroying whatever credibility they might’ve had by acting like trolls. Like at this point they might as well be posting racist wojak memes in these cards.

    It really doesn’t help their cause or make people want to believe them, and even to normies it comes off as extremely hard grasping. It makes them look weaker. It only helps the cause for people who already onboard, which is useless because those people are already onboard, it’s preaching to the choir.

      Images of a modest middle class vacation

      FBI: this should make you feel bad, that modest middle class vacation is at the cost of the publishing company CEO’s second yacht being smaller than he promised his children. It doesn’t even have a helipad!

    FBI should care more about Epstein’s friends instead of having fun with digital books

      The suppression of the means to educate, as a priority, is a purposeful tactic to subdue dissent.

      I hope Z Library, and others like it, live on like the hydra.

      I mean, what would be the point at this point? Majority of the country is apparently okay with Epstein style activities given his best friend who has bragged about having the same tastes got elected

      Yeah but Epstein’s friends are rich and have ready access to attorneys.

      More evidence that our justice system is more about punishing the poor.

      I like how one of their points of evidence is a only kinda sort of expensive camper trailer. Yeah, I’m perfectly fine with the people maintaining a public resource like that being able to go on camping trips lmao.

    This is how they’re spending it:

    • rainbow weather machines
    • FEMA trailers
    • supporting gator farmers
    • latest kohls fashion

    In my experience it’s very common for Z-Library’s domains to get seized. My password manager has like 10 different domains connected to the same zlibrary account; 9 of which doesnt work anymore.

    Best place you can see the currently working domain is wikipedia.

    As a wannabe author, I could only be so lucky to get my work “pirated”. Free publicity.

      Seriously. I managed a small rock band for a while. We got picked to tour with another band in some clubs in Eastern Europe. This was pre-Spotify, but Facebook strong.

      We had no CD sales pre-tour to these places, just some views on youtube. We were relying a lot on the other band.

      But the people that came to the shows?They knew the words and sang along and we had a great time.

      Someone had our music and shared it before we got there. And we were grateful for those pirates!! And yes, we sold some merch and CDs at the shows.

      If not for the pirates it would have been a much different experience with a lot less people showing up.

      Our band never “made it” but it was still a successful tour and a helluva lot of fun. In large part because our music was pirated and shared ahead of time.
