You never do. By avoiding who’s running the show, that allows you to claim ‘conspiracy theorist’.

No, because I care about the issue. The same groups are "running the show" on DMCA opposition. As I asked before, should I now embrace the DMCA?

To keep the marxists’ hands off.

How does that retain net neutrality? You propose no action to stop the very real threats to net neutrality.

I count on us to maintain internet freedom far more than any marxists.

Please describe the mechanism. I'm not looking for generalities, but actual solutions. Please remember the first rule I showed you, the one that requires consumers be informed of the terms of their service. How do you propose the consumers prevail when most of them don't even know what's being done to them?

Of course not. But as the FCC/government have proven, they aren’t through yet.

Back to conspiracy theory. So if a conservative group had introduced the exact same rules, you'd have no problem?

———————No, because I care about the issue.—————

Who’s driving the show is just as important, even moreso. That indicates where things are going. If it wasn’t important, there wouldn’t have been any need to know about Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers....... you get the idea.

—————The same groups are “running the show” on DMCA opposition. As I asked before, should I now embrace the DMCA?————

No. The important thing is to understand why they oppose it. Sure, progressives cite “freedom” and “democracy”, but it’s not a “freedom” you recognize. It’s the very “freedom” that Friedrich Hayek wrote about in The Road to Serfdom. On page 174. Paragraph 3. Do you even have a copy of TRS to read page 174?

—————How does that retain net neutrality?—————

Net Neutrality doesn’t mean what you think it means. You have been lied to, we all have been lied to. But I stopped accepting the lie quite some time ago. It’s time for you to stop accepting the lie.

The truth is that marxists are in the driver seat. That’s how “keeping the marxists hands off” pertains to Net Neutrality. Net neutrality *IS* marxism. Marxists produce marxism. Even you won’t claim otherwise. Instead, you’d rather say “conspiracy theory” as if that gains you some sort of moral high ground.

-—————Please describe the mechanism.———————

Lawsuits would be the primary mechanism. I’m under no illusion that we consumers have an advantage. But here is what I do recognize. Once the FCC and all these goons control the entrance/exit ramps, how do you fight that? There won’t even be lawsuits. You can’t sue government.

Let me put it to you this way:

I recognize a greater chance for survival vs the telcos than I do vs the marxists. If there’s anything you should engage with me on, it’s this. I recognize a greater chance for survival vs the telcos than I do vs the marxists.

-—————How do you propose the consumers prevail when most of them don’t even know what’s being done to them?——————

That’s a good question. I can’t answer it. All I know is that history shows, and proves, that marxism is never the answer. Can you argue otherwise?

-———But as the FCC/government have proven, they aren’t through yet.

Back to conspiracy theory.-————

I can prove. The last century of american history, as well as the FCC’s own words prove it. What are you going to do, request the admin moderators delete that discussion just so you can continue this charade of yours?

-—————So if a conservative group had introduced the exact same rules, you’d have no problem?—————

I wouldn’t. They’re not leading to tyranny.
