This is what happens when you forego truth and for the sole benefit of rationality. You end up with pretty theories that don;t have any bearing on how reality actually IS.

Monopolies develop because of the free market.

Period.

They always have, historically

They have with big tech.

No Monopolies develop because of the consumers of the Market. Period.

does it matter WHY they develop?

they develop

^

the free market is NOT dealing with them as is, what do we do?

Laziness wins out. People anywhere could make their own soap, but they buy it instead.

The argument here seems to be how to stop monopolies, That seems to be the disagreement here

You keep failing to realise that the free market is not working, it is not providing an alternative. There is no reasonable competition for consumers to go to.

So your argument will never work.

"Just don't use it lol"

If your answer is: nothing, because I believe in the free market, you are worthless politically

Again, a failure of the market.

The people are being given every chance to stop monopolies they can create alternatives or not use the monopolies products. If they choose not to that is on them

"The people are being given every chance to stop monopolies"

They're not

Because there's no reasonable alternatives.

Yes they are

Simple as.

What's the Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft alternatives?

Tell me them please.

They are choosing to not crate alternatives or not use the companies products

Do you think monopolies are good? No. Are there monopolies around? Yes. Why don't you want to do something about it?

The company is not forcing them to use their products

How can I stop using those services they provide and replace them with a reasonable alternative?

Explain that to me.

And I'll believe you.

You'll be able to convince everyone here of your argument if you can do that.

But I GUARENTEE you can't.

@Tonight at 11 - DOOM I believe Monopolies are bad however i completely oppose Government regulation and i believe that the people can regulate the marekt

"Stop using Discord guys, go back to IRC"

why?

actually, no

Why haven't the people regulated the market now? LOL @The Electric Lizard

forget that question

So what?

We do nothing?
