————in line with your theory.-————

It’s not really a theory. There’s very, very little room for much theory here.

We know they only listen to marxist groups. We know many of them are marxists themselves. And we know that they engage in all kinds of propaganda.

When a marxist talks about controlling on/off ramps, they aren’t talking about the kind of purist simple regulations that one would think.(even though that’s how they’ll make it sound)

When a marxist talks about controlling on/off ramps, they are talking about something very, very evil and dark. There’s no reason to think otherwise.

-———Maybe I missed something, but I doubt it.—————

You didn’t miss it. They haven’t codified it yet. We have a century of progressivism to work with here, by the time it’s codified it will be too late.

You didn’t miss it. They haven’t codified it yet.

In other words, you have no evidence, only conspiracy theory.

That's it, I quit. I'm tired of going around in circles with conspiracy theorists. This is why I stay away from 9/11 Truthers, you really get nowhere no matter how many facts you throw at them. It all gets bent and recycled to support their conspiracy, or what's in their head simply overrides the facts (or, in this case, the actual published text).

I don't mean to be insulting, but right now I honestly feel like I'm talking to Rosie O'Donnell about fire not being able to melt steel.

Please, don't respond unless you can actually limit yourself to a discussion of net neutrality itself, and the actual proposed or published rules, bills, laws or orders concerning net neutrality. Otherwise we're discussing other issues, or just running around in circles inside your imagination.

The government is never on your side. Even if it is for a short while the next administration will almost surely screw it up.

All the ideas of the telcos screwing up internet access are laughable. Most of us have at least 3 companies trying to be our ISP (your cable company, your telco and verizon), if you live in a large or heavily teched city there will be even more. If the one you’re signed up on messed with one of your favorite sites because they won’t pay you can be switched over to one of the others in under a week. And they know that. That’s the nice part about the corporate “solution”, companies are highly replaceable. Now on the other hand if the next administration is even more of a control freak than the current and makes the FCC clamp down on some sites who you gonna turn to? Governments are very difficult to replace.

One of the things governments are historically terrible at is “fair”. That’s why we’ve been flushing money down social programs for nearly 50 years and the poverty rate has remained the same, “fair” is just not in the government’s skill set. That’s why the fairness doctrine failed, and why net neutrality will screw things up. Even if the FCC doesn’t get a bad mandate from a crumby administration it’s still the government being told to make things “fair” a mandate that no government agency has ever even come close to succeeding at.
