/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • It's complicated. Only a few companies can afford to pay out bribes to avoid lawsuits, which means they'd effectively be destroying all of their competition in exchange. Bluesky and Lemmy can't afford to pay their way out of lawsuits, after all. This would be a handy win for total monopolization of the internet under only a few companies, even if it might also be expensive.

    On top of that they were starting down the barrel of FTC for monopoly practices, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of backroom deal with the government here. Maybe if the tech companies allow Section 230 to be repealed and for age-verification laws to pass, the government doesn't force their companies to be broken up in antitrust actions.

    I have no idea what is going to happen.

  • If the news were that it was being amended to make carve outs for businesses who pay an amount of money, then I would be more inclined to agree.

    But the news is that it would be repealed entirely.

    Functionally every law has a carve out for businesses who pay an amount of money.

  • You literally didn't say it was wrong.

    And they aren't amending it. They're repealing it. The internet is going to be destroyed, and you're wishcasting about something irrelevant that isn't on the table. I think we should probably focus on how absolutely fucking horrible a repeal would be.

  • Okay, you were given two examples of why this is bad (Qaddafi, Sadam). Here's another: Syria was a stable and semi-prosperous country before the meddling began, and then it was turned into a basket case. It took over ten years to depose Assad, and in the meantime their economy has been obliterated and half a million people died.

    These are just the recent examples, there are so many more: Sukarno in Indonesia, Allende in Chile, Lumumba in Congo, over and over and fucking over the US comes and fucking destroys countries in the name of "liberating" the people. Your government programs you to hate these "regimes" but they're actually stabilizing forces, and without them everything is worse.

    Making things worse is the point. If they can't install a puppet regime friendly to US interests they'll settle for turning the country into another basket case, because taking Venezuela's oil off the market raises prices (and thus profits)

    And Trump is already promising to do the same fucking thing in Colombia! It's so nakedly evil, and you just lap it up like a dog. The US's internal politics don't even matter, this is bipartisan.

  • The fascists will figure this out. They’ve already been claiming to want to improve the economy (bring jobs back to Amerikkka, etc.).

    Not yet. They'll only change what they're doing if they think their current trajectory wouldn't let them retain power, but they don't think that. We're in a situation where the ruling class is feeding on their own slop and becoming increasingly out of touch with reality, they think we're starting a 1000 year Reich because all of their bots on Twitter tell them they're doing a great job.

    Only once they run into the brick wall of material reality, (a landslide for Democrats or and economic crash or something) will they reevaluate their priors. Until then, "affordability" is a DemonCRAP hoax and that the economy is A++++

  • We have a Dunning-Kruger economy, the c-suite thinks that the slop they're shitting out is good because they don't actually have any expertise in the commodities their companies produce. Every dipshit with a business degree thinks his vibe-coded app works great, and it took less than an hour, so his underlings should be able to churn out product as quickly as he can shit out slop.
