It’s happening now, I know it looks gargantuan, but for real. The market will adjust. It always does. Calm ur tits.

Nope

Oh, it surely does. I'll side with you there. Market always adjusts.

There is absolutely no evidence

In favor of the market controllers

Which is rarely in favor of those who have a majority consumership of that market

It’s not just leftists pushing for a cashless society

It’s just how technology goes

Get with the times old man heh 🔥😎

Not necessarily a bad thing. Vacuum, etc. Can't really work on a monopoly without getting stabbed in the back.

The past 300 years is evidence.
Show me a monopoly that’s operating today, without government support.

Again. I’ll wait.

That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever read. I feel dumber for reading it.

To convince me to get with the times you need to demonstrate you have a mechanism of maintaining an ability to transact in a digital age without interference form government or corporations

If the government stays the fuck out, the market adjusts. It always has. It always will.

Monopolies don't exist in reality its multiple corporations marching in lock step like all ISPs in Australia temp banning 4chan after the NZ shooting

Until then, you're just making shit emotive arguments

Yep.

Cashless does mean easier tracking

At the moment it does, PeP

And you and I both know it

And what happened @Samaritan™ ? We all got VPN services.

But that will cut down on money laundering, tax avoidance etc

Stop making shit accusations of ludditism and demonstate competence

I guess your right @Scale_e

I do honestly wonder how long it will be before VPN's are outlawed in all first-world nations

What? Lmao

And there! That’s it right there!
Government steps in and bans vpns?
You’ll get real monopolies.

If VPNs are outlawed people will move to illegal ones

If the government stays out, the market adjusts.

If VPNs where outlawed it'd just vindicate Scale_es anti regulation position

^

They have been trying to outlaw VPNs in the UK

As well as trying to push for Internet ID

That shit should have you marching in the streets.

In a way, they were already a monopoly. If a government controls the actions of numerous companies, the companies vie for control of the government as recompense. They have no choice but to go prisoner's dilemma.
And so the oligarchy is formed.

That’s worth burning down parliament for

It won't, because people like PureEvilPie supprt the move
