I mean, "lawyer up before talking to the police" is universally good advice.

There is a kernal of validity to your point, but let's not pretend like those things are at all the same. The difference between copyright violation for personal use and copyright violation for commercialization is many orders of magnitude.

JD Vance’s campaign said he “doesn’t believe in guilt-by-association cancel culture”

It's not like they are just guys who happen to know each other like they are in the same bowling league. And it is not like he invited the guy on to talk about the weather and then he went off on a whole Nazi tangent of his own accord. Tucker knew who he was, liked the things he says, and invited him on his show to specifically spread his words to his audiences. He intentionally platformed a Nazi. That is not "guilt-by-association". That is guilt-by-your-own-actions. Also known as guilt, and full on Nazi shit.

I'm sure we're all shocked that Google Translate butchered a translation. "Drunk Yoda levels of bad" sets a realistic expectation on my linguistic abilities though.

Well, I am shocked! Absolutely stunned. No, no. Wait. I meant unsurprised and jaded.

Hitler in suspenders and thick rimmed glasses pointing at mass graves of naked emaciated Jewish men women and children asking in a nasally voice... "Hat das gemacht?" ("Did I do thaaaaat?")

It was an accident the same way that arranging an orgy, renting a space for said orgy, hosting said orgy, advertising said orgy, inviting people to said orgy, hiring people to organize said orgy, supplying said orgy, and participating in said orgy until you got caught by your wife naked in a pile of bodies was accidentally cheating. Oopsy.

Or my favorite class, artificer. :/

Was this the first sign of the dementia?

That's not nice, guys. Whatever you think of the woman, Lara Trump is a human being. You can't just replace her photo with that of a discount blow-up doll. That's so disrespectful.

I watched like 60 percent of the movie at a friend's house when I was pretty young. Maybe 8-10 years old? Shit creeped me out so hard. Pretty sure I had a couple fucked up nightmares from it. I've thought about going back to watch it as an adult since the cast is so awesome. But I've heard it's still mostly just fucking weird, rather than good. That sound about right?

Don't conflate a legal problem that is already not taken seriously and addressed enough with another thing entirely. Real wage theft is already illegal and pathways to remedy that wage theft exist as long as people take it very seriously. What is described in this meme is also a problem and also needs addressed. However it is entirely, 1000% legal to keep wages low while you rack in rescord profits, and many capitalists would argue that you should. By conflating an actual legal issue wish a subjective moral one, you make it easier to excuse the legal issue as just another subjective moral issue that can be ignored and exploited.

They are different things that have different remedies and different access to those remedies right now. You're not strengthening the definition of wage theft to give more power to this new issue. You're weakening both.
