Doesn't all that contravene article 107 of the treaty of the functioning of the eu?

2020-02-02 21:12:03 UTC  

fuck em

2020-02-02 21:12:21 UTC  

time to make people realise that things arent free

2020-02-02 21:12:44 UTC  

working should be better off than being a lazy dole fuck

2020-02-02 21:12:56 UTC  

Isn't it interfering with competition? And free markets

2020-02-02 21:13:53 UTC  

Not granting benefits to parasites leads to less competition?

2020-02-02 21:13:57 UTC  

put them with the local councils, means you can have 20 people holding up a brush instead of 12

2020-02-02 21:14:08 UTC  

I dont believe in free markets

2020-02-02 21:16:08 UTC  

You should, it's what made the western world

2020-02-02 21:20:24 UTC  

Good punchline, but potentially any subversive company can thrive in a free market

2020-02-02 21:21:41 UTC  

I don't think there's ever been a truly free market.. it needs a lot of regulation to maintain consumers freedom

2020-02-02 21:26:51 UTC  

But stopping monopolies is different to banning businesses with the wrong opinions

2020-02-02 21:27:21 UTC  

No, I would ban subversive ones

2020-02-02 21:28:03 UTC  

Opinions isnt what I'm talking about, look at the shady practices that go on, to block consumers from trying out the competition

2020-02-02 21:29:50 UTC  

Yeah I don't disgree with regulation to keep a free market a fair market, I disagree with ideological regulation

2020-02-02 21:33:48 UTC  

Why?

2020-02-02 21:35:48 UTC  

being more pragmatic on regulation will be more helpful then supporting it based on an ideological reason

2020-02-02 21:36:22 UTC  

We shouldn't have regulation for the sake of having regulation which is what adopting it as an ideological position can cause

2020-02-02 21:37:25 UTC  

Basically that, plus it shouldn't be necessary, as businesses that try subversion rarely end up doing well

2020-02-02 21:37:50 UTC  

If you start selling poison, people will stop buying

2020-02-02 21:38:41 UTC  

And if they keep buying, then it isn't the business that's the core issue, it is a symptom

2020-02-02 21:39:17 UTC  

And getting rid of a symptom doesn't cure the disease, which is likely due to societal changes from other sources

2020-02-02 21:40:15 UTC  

What if a company starts selling products or influencing minds, with a message that is essentially anti-national?

2020-02-02 21:40:47 UTC  

Legality is the quickest way to propagate anything, banning things is a way of limiting use or exposure

2020-02-02 21:41:27 UTC  

If your population is nationalistic (and they should be), it won't sell, if your population is already being subverted, then it might sell

2020-02-02 21:41:50 UTC  

Why not just cut out the middle man and prevent the snake from poisoning the well

2020-02-02 21:43:29 UTC  

Because if you reach the point that you have to ban subversive companies to stop their influence, it is likely the population will vote-in a similarly subversive government

2020-02-02 21:43:59 UTC  

Given the company has survived on it's current path despite being anti-majority essentially

2020-02-02 21:44:43 UTC  

And if that government is voted-in, you don't want them to have the power to ban businesses they don't like

2020-02-02 21:47:35 UTC  

Yes I do want to grant a government that power, as long as they have nationalistic interests

2020-02-02 21:48:51 UTC  

But if a subversive company has survived long enough and is effective enough that you need to ban it, then that company is most likely very popular

2020-02-02 21:49:23 UTC  

Therefore the populace and their preferred government likely won't have nationalistic interests

2020-02-02 21:49:41 UTC  

Popularity doesnt denote worth

2020-02-02 21:50:02 UTC  

People are very malleable in terms of what they desire

2020-02-02 21:50:22 UTC  

Mass media and marketing have been hugely influential; in informing the publics opinion on a number of subjects

2020-02-02 21:54:36 UTC  

But not in one single direction

2020-02-02 21:55:04 UTC  

If the market is fair, then alternatives will be created and potentially be successful

2020-02-02 21:55:17 UTC  

You're naive
