Text on the meme
The Shopping Cart Theory Seeding torrents is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To seed is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To seed is objectively right. There are no situations other than in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to download and stop seeding. Therefore, torrent seeding presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it. No one will punish you for not seeding; no one will fine you or kill you for not seeding. Yet, you gain nothing by seeding. You must seed out of the goodness of your own heart. You must seed because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct. A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it. Seeding is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.
