Net Neutrality

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

And yet DC has a VERY strong opinion that Poland would be better off with the Soviet invaders than the Nazi ones.

As opposed to the idea that they would be better off with the Nazis?

The difference being that I don't claim to be impartial, "we're Poland," and then in the next breath advocate for one side.

Appeasement.

That’s actually a pretty good representation of DCs argument (probably because he was arguing with Nick, I reckon). It started out all hellfire and fury for “WE MUST SAVE NET NETRALITY!!!”, segued into “FOLLOW THE MONEY, FOOLS, THEN YOU’LL SEE WHATS UP!”, and ended with “Well, we’re like Poland guys. Two Behemoths fighting over our destiny but . . . One is better than the other for reasons and shit”.

Pretty much the way it goes any time a progressive is walked through the actual details, and their reliable catchphrases are debunked in order of appearance.

Walk me through the part where it made sense to explicitly tell monopolies it is okay to use their monopolistic powers to create barriers to entry.

Because that part was just fucking great. I mean, fuck that communist Theodore Roosevelt, amiright?

Obama's Net Neutrality is not trust busting bro, apples and oranges. Don't let the Orwellian Term used to pass the bill fool you, it's just a big government control grab, it's not about neutrality at all.

It's limiting monopolistic powers. It's literally saying: hey, you can't use your monopoly status to create barriers to entry.

The FCC chairman just said it was okay for monopolies to do what monopolies have been prohibited from doing for almost a century.

There's no way to trust bust monopolies like that. You can't create competitors to cable. The cable companies literally criminalized the only viable competition that was coming out in the 2000s through bribing state legislators.

Again: this order literally says it's okay to use monopolistic powers to prevent entry into markets. It's pretty fucking stupid.

Not what it does, that's what they pretended it would do, in order to sell it, it never did that. All it did was hand over control of the internet to the FCC, you got played.

Derpa derpa doo, libertard!

That's exactly what the fuck it was. How fucking stupid can you be? At least own up to it. Don't pretend like you are completely oblivious to what a monopoly is. You just love giving sloppy BJs to monopolies. Fucking gobble that shit up why don't you.

[StCapps]

Net Neutrality has nothing to do with monopolies, they tricked you, it's not like the Net Neutrality in Europe, it's Orwellian doublespeak to sell it, anti-monopoly shit not actually in Obama's Net Neutrality, was all a ruse.

You keep plugging your ears, genius. Broadband in America, in most places, is a monopoly just like the power utility. The only reason Comcast got away with throttling my Netflix to be unusable was that I had no choice in service. It was Comcast broadband or not broadband.
