    We don’t want these conglomerates to survive though… why do you? Opensource & public alternatives exist because people have a natural urge to help each other get their needs met. Why would you not want that over paying for a privatized internet?

    Also, this logic doesn’t apply the exact same way for real life services because there are a lot more extra steps in regards to politics. But the principle is the same. Some services should be public and governments should see the incentive to facilitate that when they witness the people provide for each other instead of relying on the whims of industry giants. Where would the money come from, you ask? Probably the “99%”.

    Let governments panic while conglomerates lose their money. Just let 'em! More people need to do this for it to make a dent though.
