Libertarian Discussion Thread

[The Liberated Territories]

The Establishment Clause doesn't say that religion should be disfavored at all, just one religion cannot be favored over another. Endorsing school choice wouldn't be the same as the government giving subsidies to Catholic Schools as it theoretically allows vouchers to be used for secular private or Jewish schools, hence it remains within constitutional limits.

[Elwher]

If the government is going to support schools (which I am not sure that I necessarily support) then the recipients of said support should have the right to decide what school is going to get that support. The government is not supporting the religious school, be it Catholic, Jewish, Moslem, Pastafarian or whatever. The government is supporting schools and the parents are deciding what school gets the support.

NOW, how do you feel about net neutrality and the FCC trying to end it?

I'm neutral, though I could care less in general. Those who support net neutrality don't have any evidence that the system would crumble immediately.

That means you do care, at least a little.

Couldn't help it, Weird Al song lyrics be in my head.

It's a pain in the ass to me directly, so I want it gone, or at least fixed.

This guy has it right.

[Pilarcraft]

"Why not both?"
Maybe because if FCC wins, internet might (and probably will) end up turning into a monopoly? You really think there's going to be an opening for smaller companies when the bigger ones already control everyone's internet? (I mean, if it does end up winning)

Nope. in this case, it's pretty simple. Net Neutrality needs to win.

[Taihei Tengoku]

monopolies are boogeymen tbh

Net neutrality by definition turns the internet into a monopoly. When entities such as Netflix advocate for net neutrality, they do so so they don't get crushed by the ISPs, despite the ISPs being put under load when Netflix is used. Net neutrality is painted as being "pro-consumer" but all I see is killing choice and helping corporations destroy their competition. If there was any chance to see a free market here, than NN kills it entirely, instead of reforming it.

If the FCC wins then the government gets more total control over the internet. Head of the fucking FFC even said that's his intent, to censor the internet. Look it up.

How do I seduce a libertarian?

Besides whispering in their ear that taxation is theft, I mean.

That'll usually work instantly.

If it doesn't, break out Bastiat's The Law and begin quoting random paragraphs.
