So what is he then?

2018-09-09 02:20:24 UTC  

Some things should not be private

2018-09-09 02:20:27 UTC  

the media for instance

2018-09-09 02:20:31 UTC  

though it should not be censored

2018-09-09 02:20:42 UTC  

it should not be ran like the news outlets today are

2018-09-09 02:20:57 UTC  

with the profit at all cost mindset

2018-09-09 02:21:06 UTC  

and the outrage culture it has created

2018-09-09 02:21:41 UTC  

I'm going to sound like a lolbert, but deregulation is the answer to media tbh

2018-09-09 02:22:05 UTC  

wtf that's the fucking problem

2018-09-09 02:22:11 UTC  

That they were deregulated

2018-09-09 02:22:20 UTC  

Do you not realize how overreaching these companies are?

2018-09-09 02:22:45 UTC  

My interest is removing the barrier to entry for competitors

2018-09-09 02:22:47 UTC  

I don't think Anon knows what he is.

2018-09-09 02:23:00 UTC  

Which the internet has done

2018-09-09 02:23:03 UTC  

He's (probably) young and impressionable and says he is whatever he thinks is cool or appealing at the moment.

2018-09-09 02:23:17 UTC  

Hence LARP.

2018-09-09 02:25:00 UTC  

I think that's why most people grow out of extremism if they don't actually read the literature to support their ideas they likely read on Wikipedia.

2018-09-09 02:25:42 UTC  

I've only been here like a week or two so I don't know him that well yet

2018-09-09 02:27:31 UTC  

National Capitalism is gay

2018-09-09 02:27:38 UTC  

@The Big Oof big media companies are on the decline since the internet allowed for greater competition

2018-09-09 02:28:26 UTC  

I wouldn't say that

2018-09-09 02:28:36 UTC  

the overwhelming majority of media outlets are owned by six companies

2018-09-09 02:28:42 UTC  

something like

2018-09-09 02:28:45 UTC  

80-90%

2018-09-09 02:28:48 UTC  

don't have the source on hand

2018-09-09 02:29:08 UTC  

Alternative media is just as bad tbh

2018-09-09 02:29:25 UTC  

Breitbart is just as sensational

2018-09-09 02:29:27 UTC  

Yeah, but their v viewership is abysmal for their size

2018-09-09 02:30:14 UTC  

Alt media is doing much better for their comparative size

2018-09-09 02:31:11 UTC  

The most compelling thing I've heard to regulate is the internet bill of rights. Which I still think is gay.

2018-09-09 02:31:56 UTC  

nationalize the media

2018-09-09 02:32:09 UTC  

Yeah most alt media is just as bad, but there are still good ones

2018-09-09 02:32:23 UTC  

Breitbart isn't one of them

2018-09-09 02:33:12 UTC  

for real though

2018-09-09 02:33:31 UTC  

I don't want the government to touch media, because then you get god awful trash like BBC, NPR, and pbs

2018-09-09 02:33:32 UTC  

six companies should not control nearly all of the information

2018-09-09 02:33:37 UTC  

That should be illegal

2018-09-09 02:33:57 UTC  

They don't anymore, not with alt media

2018-09-09 02:34:51 UTC  

The problem with the bbc isn't that it's nationalized

2018-09-09 02:35:01 UTC  

because all media in the UK is fucking terrible

2018-09-09 02:35:09 UTC  

It's the government that operates it
