Net Neutrality

[Speaker to Animals]

So crony capitalism. That's not winning. That's the government having created a monopoly for their donors, and now their crony capitalist FCC chairman trying to keep competition out of the market.

Go fuck yourself you hypocrite. If my town decides to build a municipal Wi-Fi, you can fuck right the fuck off with your state violence to enforce a monopoly.

What a joke you are. Total hypocrite.

Take your East India Co. ideas and shove them up your statist ass. You don't get to counter-signal statism. You are one!

[Speaker to Animals]

I mean.. you've been in here for years counter-signaling statism, and here you are celebrating the kind of mercantalism that led to the American Revolution. The state enforcing a private monoploy through laws that the majority of the people do not consent to is exactly what Parliament did to the colonies.

Do you possess any self-awareness at all regarding how ridiculous you are in celebrating this?

Fife?
I think that might have been too much for sta on a Monday morning.

[Speaker to Animals]

I just hate the hypocrisy. Don't sit there and talk about how you oppose state violence and then support it when it props up a state-created monopoly. Fucking ridiculous.

And.. btw.. he's talking about your town's municipal Wi-Fi. Say goodbye to that shit. Welcome to Mercantilism!

I haven’t even said anything yet.

NOT setting up a national wireless network is mercantilism?

[Speaker to Animals]

Fife: opposes state violence at the hands of men in police costumes. Except when they roll into a small town to seize the town's municipal Wi-Fi equipment to force people to pay big bucks to the state-protected monopoly. LMFAO.

(1) If you oppose the federal government doing it for "muh free market" (which you made non-free through your corruption), then you are going to have to go after municipal Wi-Fi. Net neutrality is extremely popular in the United States, crossing political divides, and there really is no chance that even the state laws criminalizing municipal Wi-Fi can stand for long. Eventually the monopolies would otherwise lose their near 100% market share they obtained through corruption and their cronies like this pajeet. They will have to go after after municipal Wi-Fi everywhere, and this is the opening salvo to that. You can't possibly be blind to this. Doing it through state laws will no longer work, and they are hoping to just do it through mandate by the FCC pajeet.

(2) Mercantalism is when the state enforces monopolies through laws and the threat of violence. That's what happened here from start to finish. American broadband companies establishes regional monopolies through corruption. They operate on state resources. They run lines through people's easements. This isn't really a "free market" and never has been. They used public subsidies to build broadband networks, and then they bribed politicians to criminalize competition. When they used the monopoly status they bought to impose monopolistic practices on the market, two administrations stepped in and fought them in the courts until we finally got the last net neutrality ruling. Then they managed to get a crony in charge of the fucking thing to not only reverse it, but to further entrench their monopolies. They did this against the overwhelming interest of the American people. The American people strongly support net neutrality by huge margins. This is East India Co. It's fucking bullshit.

And.. there's never going to be some massive federal broadband. The way it would roll out, if the corrupt cronies are unable to stop it, is through a network of municipal broadband services. A federal network would literally be the same thing as your municipal network. They would all be connected.

This is the nightmare scenario for the broadband monopolies. This is why they have their pajeet working so desperately to enforce the otherwise unsustainable monopolies that now exist.

And the government has always done so well at making things work without bloat attached to it.
