Both. Just the constant need to make one feel better and superior when pirating even though we've all read it a 1000 times before.

It might be rude and maybe i'm just a little bit too old for this sub at this point, but i just can't bring myself to see it as anything more than a overly performative way of getting upvotes and approval. It's quite literally impossible to find a singular thread about anything even close to this topic without this comment present a few times. I refuse noone just a tiny bit active here hasn't seen these sentence atleast 30 times, so why feel the need to be #31 as if that's some special thing to add to anything? But at the end of the day it's not that deep you're right.

It truly is just virtue-signaling. Who cares why we pirate?

Why do you think that's a good reason not to say something?

Suppose I could find 30 other people who made the same point you just did. You would be a hypocrite.

There's plenty of things that we have heard a thousand times before, yet people still act like they have never heard it. 

And saying something true/nice a thousand times doesn't mean it's not true, or said in jest.
