I'm living the free-market libertarian dream right now. Some random no-name ISP has negotiated an exclusive deal with my apartment complex, so they've cut off all other service and forced everyone to pay for the same garbage internet.

@jerry @malwaretech none percent of libertarians are honest about their beliefs. They would, to the last man, engage in anticompetitive monopolism if given the opportunity

@lapt0r @jerry Libertarians know it will result in anti-competitive monopolies, they just wrongly assume it will be theirs.

@jerry @malwaretech everybody loves free markets… until they’re a big player in a market, then they do everything they can to break free markets and do regulatory capture to make sure they don’t have to compete in a free market against new competitors
