    It was never a free market because of antiquated zoning laws. At very least free market would have driven more dense residential construction because they would have made more return on their buck. We need to allow and even promote medium rise residential zoning in more home scarcity is an issue.

    Land owners be damned, the needs of the many outweigh the greed of the few.

    This is exactly it.

    Cable TV was originally meant to be TV with no ads, see where that has come.

    Streaming services were meant to be on demand shows/movies with no ads, see where we are now.

    YouTube premium will enshittify the exact same way. How do I know this? They already won’t listen to paying customers and content creators who bring customer to the site. They do customer unfriendly moves like removing dislikes to make a quick buck from big corporations. They will make it shittier given the chance.




  • Wrong.

    Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.

    When all else fails violence is the final answer.

    What do you do when someone is violently trying to knock down your door?

    You call the police and they come and they ask the person to leave nicely.

    He refuses and gets more aggressive, either they restraint him and drag him away or use some other method that involves violence.

    I challenge you to show a real world example of ending oppression that was achieved by asking nicely when one side refuses to come to the negotiating table.
