So for those of you who’ve seen the posts pointing out that Tumblr (which is owned by Verizon) is now automatically making people un-track the “net neutrality” tag and are wondering where to tag stuff instead, here’s a suggestion - #verizon. That tag is already full of net neutrality posts, but let’s fill it up even more. Let’s make it the new tag for discussing net neutrality, forcing them to either accept it or do what they did to the net neutrality tag to their own company’s name. Let’s take a long look at their attempts to silence the debate and laugh them in the face.
Alright y'all, start spamming the verizon tag with net neutrality posts!
There is literally no chance of us civilians being able to overpower giant telecommunications megacorporations and their lobbyists from killing net neutrality
dont wanna sound like some fucking nihilist but democracy is dead, whoever has the most money always wins, folks need to go out and destroy the rich in able to achieve anything
government agencies don’t care for you, they wont listen to your petitions, being a citizen voter doesn’t matter on the federal level as the bourgeoisie will just pay for laws that provide them more profit, the proletariat don’t have $50,000,000,000 to slip into the pockets of the FCC chairman to “persuade” them
what does work though folks is direct action, the bureaucrats aren’t going to even consider your thoughts or needs unless you torch their $100,000 cars and throw cans of paint on their $4M houses
Seriously folks, if it gets destroyed, which it WILL, you people need to go out into the street and cause property damage to telecomm conglomerates and scream at the FCC until they bring it back
If net neutrality is killed and all we see are angry posts and a few buzzfeed articles discussing how Disney characters would react then there is absolutely no hope for the people of this country to stand up to any sort of authoritarian control if they can’t do anything besides blog about their rights being taken away
And don’t listen to any of the propaganda being spewed by bourgeoisie institutions like Bloomberg or CBS or NBC saying this is a good thing, literally every argument for it is saying “the internet is too chaotic and messy”, who else would say this besided the owners of the parent corporations who will make TRILLIONS off of the earnings of us proles
Another effect of this will be restriction of freedom of speech, the working class won’t have a way to communicate and express themselves when you have to pay 15 bucks a month just to use a website. And you bet your ass that those that do are going to be presented content that aligns to the corporation’s political, social, and economic leanings
our only hope is riots in the streets and unrest until the bill gets overturned and net neutrality is restored like with prohibition
the funniest and most scorpio moment in homestuck is when vriska and aranea hug each other and theyre both just disgusted and vriska fake gags behind her back
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
