    We fought for net neutrality for like a decade and a half and then Ajit Pai just killed it like a monarchy with supreme power and fucked off into retirement.

      That made me so mad. It was so openly botted and gaslit. Not a single human being was against it that wasn’t part of a megacorp monopoly. It was just objectively bad. Just shows we straight up do not have a democracy, our votes meant nothing despite being one of the most widespread campaigns against it. I remember it was even the front page of google search to vote against it. That’s how you know how bad it was.

        He received over 300,000 letters expressing support for net neutrality, complete with names, emails, physical addresses, and often phone numbers, and he dismissed all of them as spam. He knowingly voted against the will of the people for the benefit of a handful of corporations.
