Oh, abandonware is political. The software is lost because distribution rights lied solely with the copyright holder. The abandonware we still have available for distribution today is what was pirated. Obviously, copyright is antithetical to software preservation.
A capitalist argument on the subject of software copyright goes “the right to distribute software is owned by a company or a businessman because they invested in that software. They have the right to control what they own. If they decide the software is no longer available for distribution, it should be lost.”
But a communist argument on the subject of software says “the means of producing wealth by distributing software should belong to everyone. The people should seize software distribution for themselves and use it for the common good. Pirate software to preserve it, it shouldn’t matter that a corporation doesn’t want to sell it anymore.”
As a communist, I believe in the conservative approach to software copyright.
That’s relying on big government to solve our problems for us. And that’s not a reliable strategy when big business wants those problems to stick around so they can make us buy more new crap. Piracy is a solution that we, the people, can implement right now.
Yeah I think that the white monarchist government of my country is illegitimate and that ownership of the land should be returned to the indigenous people. If the white people don’t like it they can go back to England
Also since the government is illegitimate, cops are actually occupying soldiers and killing them is ethically A-okay.
the intentional destruction of a people’s civilization/government
slavery
to
the people trying to escape said destruction/lingering impacts
the people moving to our nations for the hope of working for a better life, who have lower crime rates than the existing population, and are a net boon to the economy
It is beyond ridiculous, and a miscarriage of history.

How are pirates supposed to get copies of software that’s already been abandoned so they can distribute it?
deleted by creator
Yeah, but that’s not the nature of how software is distributed these days. Do you have a modern solution?

Conservatives are not a monolith.
That said, “Indigenous sovereignty” is very right wing. Welcome!

Cool, cool. How do you feel about Indians and Chinese (as in the subcontinent) in Britian?
How about Syrians in Sweden?
Do you honestly believe it is logical to equate colonialism to immigration?
Yes actually. Why wouldnt they be the same thing?
You must not be very familiar with the impacts of colonialism then. Take your time and read these:

Equating the two is laughable. You are equating
conquest
the intentional destruction of a people’s civilization/government
slavery
to
the people trying to escape said destruction/lingering impacts
the people moving to our nations for the hope of working for a better life, who have lower crime rates than the existing population, and are a net boon to the economy
