What are we gonna do when the FCC buttfucks proboards with all of this anti net neutrality bullshit?
Thanks Trump voters for potentially ruining our league.

Since I am in Sweden now and will not be limited by US pay-for-website packages, I will gladly volunteer my services to hold onto some players for you guys for safekeeping. It is most important to protect the top guys, so please feel free to post any trades sending me 90+ rated players. I will of course return the players once net neutrality is repealed, likely in 2020 after Trump is out of office.

If the Establishment does somehow manage to circumvent the will of 99% of the population, I think the worst part is it wont happen overnight. Slowly but surely for-profit News media will become indecipherable from corporate PR. Only the wealthy will have access to any information, and that information will be filtered by corporate power. Tyranny and suffering will follow. But it will happen slowly and at a rate designed to neutralise dissent.

Absolutely against the repeal of net neutrality because lets face it, the internet is a utility. I don't care what arguments are made against it, it should be regulated as any normal business / person essentially needs internet to function in society in some capacity.

Net neutrality will be repealed and then nothing will happen for a little while. There will probably be a big conservative propaganda push to say 'look at how dumb the liberals were, the internet isn't ruined' then slowly but surely, like boiling a frog, things will change. First they probably go after other companies (now might be a good time to short sell Netflix, all these ISPs have their own streaming services in direct competition with Netflix), then they'll offer these 'premium' internet packages that try and pass things off as a perk to no longer having net neutrality, and then it'll get to the point where those without the premium packaged started getting gouged and fucked over. It's inevitable though, a company isn't going to leave this huge profit stream untouched because it's the right thing to do. They want to take as much of your money as possible. They've lobbied to remove net neutrality specifically for this reason. It's all leading to this:

I added a pop up widget regarding net neutrality on the homepage you should all see before browsing D5. Go here for more info: www.battleforthenet.com/#bftn-action-formI'm not American, but whatever America does will ripple out to my country sooner or later. It starts with you guys, Americabros.

This is also pretty funny: FCC will block states from passing their own net neutrality lawsThis is the party of states rights is it not? That's why they're in favour of a smaller government right? It's all a joke. Conservatives need to see their ideology is not being represented by the Republicans. The GOP is dead and what's currently in it's place is a kleptocracy where big corporation are just setting up whatever laws will benefit them the most and in turn fuck all consumers.
