Q: “why is this account liking recommended tweets against #NetNeutrality ? doesn’t @chrstphrchvz dislike libertarians?”

A: libertarians (as a whole—maybe less depending on type) are incoherent on #NetNeutrality . the bigger problem is @chrstphrchvz’s contrarianism.

@chrstphrchvz is a recurring character in the @chrstphrchvz lore…

@chrstphrchvz claims to be a #NetNeutrality skeptic since the “series of tubes” era, and believes it becoming a household topic is only a bizarre outgrowth of hacker/DIY culture’s nostalgia for the pre-dotcom Internet which CDNs, SDNs, and other big tech marvels render obsolete.

Internet pioneers are split on #NetNeutrality , but @chrstphrchvz concurs there are legitimate security/reliability goals in conflict with #NetNeutrality , and generally prefers a more socialist alternative to debating the illiberalism/public interest aspects of common carriers.

in short @chrstphrchvz deviates from center-left consensus by thinking #NetNeutrality somehow isn’t a political priority—if even desirable.

i am unsuccessful in telling th*m th*y should invite someone on the center-left to help convince th*m why #NetNeutrality is good/important.

i should delete this thread. @chrstphrchvz is a paternalist, i.e. hates free-for-alls. everything else, including th*m claiming to not be a luddite as th*y go around saying “there was life before the Internet”, is a ruse
