Time to take a break from my computer security/quantitative analysis articles and talk about good old voluntarist philosophy again. I use to read the /r/privacy subreddit, it's kind of decent, I mean it's not an ultimate guide to privacy but it's a starting place, you might want to read my CS tutorial series if you are interested. Nontheless I get my news from there especially those that affect privacy, and it looks like there is a big event going on there with net-neutrality.

I was kind of like on the fence with it, I use to oppose it, then I used to support it, then I was undecided for some time, and after that I made up my mind on it. It's really a big topic and you hear information from both sides, you hear shills and paid trolls, and it's hard to evaluate your political stance on something given that you can't see the future and take into consideration all variables, and neither can the policy makers, don't forget that.

Net Neutrality

So I have came back to my senses, thus I totally oppose Net Neutrality now. My explanation is very simple:

• You can't legislate Marxist equality into a world which is based on Darwinian natural law
• Plus adding one more element of coercion into society is not going to save the world

I mean it really becomes ridiculous after you look at it from the voluntarist perspective but for some reason I got bamboozled by the progressive Big Government shills as well.

I have told this many times that the progressive crowd is full of State worshipping shills and they love Big Government raping them with 90% tax rates. For some reason the progressive crowd is just totally brainwashed, I think they have good intentions with the minority rights stuff, but man their political stances are horrible and lead to total tyranny.

Progressive View

Ok so what is the progressive view? (Or delusion to be more precise). Well they think that big ugly corporations will monopolize the internet, which is a fair criticism, since we know some internet corporations are very abusive, constantly track their customers and do very shady things. So yes big corporations are problematic, I agree.

But to run to the biggest Monopoly of Violence in the region, the Government, and ask for their help? That is just madness.

I mean they literally fear that Corporations will monopolize the market, but have no problem with the biggest Monopoly (on Violence, which is much worse) taking over things is complete lunacy.

I can't believe you see so many shills supporting this nonsense, and granted they are probably brainwashed, I think they have good intentions but to not see this massive cognitive dissonance sounds like Doublethink level brainwashing from 1984.

I am really getting tired of this sheep & wolf analogy that somehow the Corporations are the wolf and the Government is like the farmer that protects the sheep. Yeah but guess what the farmer exploits the sheep and eats it in the end too.

To think that Government is the solution to anything is madness. You can't literally think of anything that the Government has solved, anything.

• Did the Government solved violent crime? Nope, it just created a massive police state, and now the police is robbing people blindly via civil asset forfeiture.
• Did the Government solved poverty? Nope, it just made people dependant and miserable on welfare, with no future prospects.
• Did the Government solved healthcare? Nope, it just fills your child with poisonous vaccines. And fluoride in the water. And chemtrails. And much more....

So just 1 more legislation and we will have paradise on Earth? Just 1 more law, 1 more coercive legislation and we will have a utopia.... to think that is really moronic, but I guess brainwashed people don't think.

Listen you can't even be on the fence on this one, like just let this one regulation pass, and then on everything else you will take the voluntarist position. Nope, you either are a pure voluntarist or you are not a voluntarist. This is what I have learned, like you can't be a Minarchist Libertarian, that is nonsense. So you just want a little bit of coercion but not too much. That is stupid. How about no coercion?

Besides do you really think the Government is really out there to protect your from "Evil ISPs". C'mon, it's like the other bullshit the GDPR which I am also against.

The Government just wants to keep you safe from Evil Corporate Surveillance but of course totally ignoring the 5 Eyes Partnership and the 14 Eyes, which basically most EU countries are in too. So the EU just wants you to be safe from surveillance meanwhile all of the member states are doing it, much more invasively than any corporation could.

It’s just smoke and mirrors where the EU wants to show that it supposedly cares about it’s citizens, but can’t even solve the immigrant crisis, plus let’s not ignore the Dark Nazi origins of the EU.

True Purpose of Net Neutrality

So the Government is not out there to save humanity, it never did. So we have to think that their goal is much more sinister. I speculate that Net Neutrality will be used to bring in total censorship on the Internet like it is in China.

Yeah in China and North Korea you have the Government in charge of the net, see how much better that model is.

Besides this whole NN hysteria comes from some ISPs allegedly charging more for some services or throttling some websites. Okay this is a problem, but where is the competition. I mean in a free market you have competition so if a company steps out of line, customers sign up for it’s competitor.

But take a look at what this guy is saying:

“The only reason such a small number of Isps exist is government intervention. At both the state and federal levels. At federal levels, they pass legislation to tie the entire industry in so much red tape you need to have multiple million dollar a year lawyers on staff just to operate. On top of that, state level government sign deals with Comcast to ensure they stay a monopoly.” (quote from a guy that gets it)

Jesus tapdancing christ. They are so few because guess what? Land easements are insanely expensive! As is digging up conduit every 5 feet. But I imagine the free market will fix that, suddenly homeowners will have no issue with comcast digging up their land and the excavators won't ask for money to lay the fiber. You live in a fantasy world I cannot fathom. One where real economics and financing models are completely broken by the magic of faith in an invisible hand that brushes aside real and tangible obstacles. Also, you obviously have 0 experience in any of the things you're talking about, which just makes this sound like a conversation I'm having with a college stoner who doesn't understand 'why we don't just make everything FREE, man!'

Wow what a shill, so he thinks that capital gathering is an obstacle in Capitalism, when in fact it is the essence of Capitalism:

One where real economics and financing models are completely broken by the magic of faith in an invisible hand

No financing schemes are broken by Securities Regulation, which instantly shuts down anyone who is trying to raise money "improperly" (as in without expensive permits and lawyer extortion), like the Chinese ICO guys or any other project that doesn’t do the paperwork correctly which might cost millions of $ in legal fees, so essentially making capital raise impossible, but I guess he totally ignores that aspect. For Christs sake there are even regulations against Crowdfunding 1000$. But this guy lives in a delusional world where Capitalism is the problem, not the Government.

So I am really sick of these progressive Big Government shills trying to fix a problem with a solution that is much much much worse.

The Actual Solution

So if the problem is monopoly, you don’t deal with it by handing it over to a bigger monopoly. You just end the monopoly. And you do that by voluntary competition.

So there is already a Meshnet developing that might be an alternative to ISP’s in the future, but still in it’s infancy.

A more immediate solution would be to actually start up more ISP’s, and you do that by:

• Raising Capital to create a new ISP, so that means eliminating Securities Regulations that make that hard

Who knows some kind of blockchain based ISP, I haven’t seen any movements towards that, since we have the funds, the cryptocurrency system is more than 100 billion $ big, don’t you think that’s enough capital to create a new ISP? If not for those pesky regulations…

Perhaps in the meantime pressuring ISP’s is another solution, write angry e-mails and letters toward them if you think they are abusive. If enough people do it, then they will be forced to listen to their userbase, it’s just that simple.

But in any case, handing over the authority to an unaccountable bureaucracy is not the solution. Not to mention the regulatory capture effect, essentially a bureaucracy gets captured by the industry that it’s supposed to regulate. It’s a revolving door between bureaucrat and CEO, so definitely Government is never the solution.

It looks though the Mises Institute has spearheaded this thought and they have already revealed their opinions about Net Neutrality back in 2015, all people had to do was just to read their article:

So the only legitimate position is the liberty position. Live and let live. No more coercion!
