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
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
@Arch-Fiend i have 1, maybe two choices in ISPs where i live. how is that NOT a monoploy?
google isint in the same market as isps
google fiber
try again
they are monopolys, but its not because of regulation
well true, its also in part because the government gave them free money to "upgrade"
and google backs NN
yet arnt part of the monopoly that NN effects
yeah, after they stopped expanding google fiber
