It's hard enough maintaining my vehicles, stuff owning wamans, that's like twice as hard

a long time ago people killed eachother for resources, the best people at that were able to get other people to kill for them, those people used that influince to lay claim over all the resources of a great geographic area with a heirarchy of killers of anyone who would oppose them and by respecting those who are closest to them on that heirarchy. over time people who were best at managing resources began to subplant those best at killing once sovereignty over large resource geographys were concentrated at the top. NOT so long ago we stopped letting those people who controled all those resources be the head of our governments

And russia will win in the long run

Long live Putin!

tell me, how could we choose to stop letting them be in that position if they have all the power?

through Jihad ofc

it was a deal between the middle of the heirarchy and the bottom of the heirarchy called democracy which lead those at the middle to rising to the top and the bottom rising to the middle with the deal being that those who rose would have less direct power and influince than those before giving more over to those below and this lead to some degree of seporation between bussiness and governence

though this would also absolve bussiness a lot of responcabilitys

and creates a middle man between people and bussinesses called governemnt

the government isn't a middle man.

well consitering private armys are illegal it kinda is

except they are not

who just call them "security" firms or "private contractors"

or if you like, mercenaries

perhaps is just not cost effective anymore

PMCs=Private Military Contractors

the idea being that the people who own land and resources cant just fight eachother directly anymore, they use the government, even outside their own nation

why would they fight each other when all the power they need is in one nice place called the government?

one win there means a win across so much more territory that a small no nothing town

why buy a PMC when the government extorts money out of its citizens to pay for the police?

if all the power they need was in governemnt they would try to be the governemnt rather than rely on it

which is the case

they are trying to be the government, did you not notice the that a lot of tech companies like google backed NN?

but in our democracy we try to fight against that as a society

because it meant their competition, ISP companies, wouldn't be able to fight them by blocking their traffic

you notice a lot of companys backed ending NN too

its because they arnt a monolith

yes, they are fighting out their fights in the government, rather than the market.

because its cheaper

and that means we suffer as well as their competition

they fight in the market CONSTANTLY

yeah, and regulation means they don't HAVE to fight on that front anymore

regulation means they can fight with regulation

but thats actually slower

if we had no regulation we would have monoploy

Well, Grenade. In London the police claim they no longer have the resources to fight many crimes (like simple robbery and muggings) [maybe in part because they have all those hate social media crimes to eradicate). So now some people have had to resort to this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5346699/First-private-police-force-caught-400-criminals.html

the united states has been through this shit before my nigga

@Arch-Fiend ISPs have regulations and are monopolies BECAUSE of that

they have all kinds of laws they backed in place to make it so they can basically kick anyone out of any town.

isp's arnt monopolys because of regulation

not even google could compete
