    Don’t condescend to me. I understand the link between government and capital and am not an american.

    What are you even proposing anyways? I am against government oppression and copyright law in general. All private property is theft from the commons. But in the meantime I will use a VPN because I trust Mullvad in Sweden more than I trust my own ISPs.

    If I was committing crimes that were more serious then I would not use a VPN I would use a more robust security model.

    My ISP is not powerless without government. They have massive power, they control 1/3rd of all cellular and internet communications. And like I said also control large amounts of satellite TV and cable broadcasting.

      Sorry, I thought we were discussing my reply to the comment about (paraphrasing) “I’ve never feared a government, but corporations scare me.” Which is why I focused on that side of things.

      I don’t think I said anything that doesn’t apply to non Americans, but ok.
