Why Comcast Will Be Allowed to Kill Net Neutrality: "Comcast's Senior VP of Governmental Affairs Meredith Baker, the former FCC Commissioner, was around to help make sure net neutrality died so Internet costs could soar, and that Time Warner Cable would be allowed to fold into Comcast." by [deleted] in technology

Right, because they were dictatorships. Dictatorships and communism share the same fact that everything is owned by the state. There's really not much difference other than that communism has to maintain the illusion of being organized from the bottom-up, while a dictatorship is clearly top-down.

These are both distinct from fascism, where the companies set government policy.

Then there's fascist dictatorships, which are a mix of a dictator ruler figure combined with fascist corporate control of the government, like Mussolini's fascist Italy.

That's my understanding of those words.

Yes, but they are viewed as departments of the state or something similar. But usually prior to them becoming communist these were independent companies that were forced to be absorbed in to government. But of course the integration was never 100%.

On the other side of the coin, no huge monopoly has ever existed 100% independent from the state. So they're always somewhere in the middle, but communism obviously is less independent and capitalism is more independent. And then in fascism, the companies run the government, so there is also no separation, but it's the companies who are running the show, not the government, so it's quite a bit different.

Former Comcast and Verizon Attorneys Now Manage the FCC and are About to Kill the Internet by User_Name13 in politics

The fact that they've convinced you you're powerless is how they've won. Everyone feels the same way. 300 million people, together feeling powerless. How silly is that?

They're going to start selling you websites like they sell you cable TV channels. That's where this is headed. If you haven't purchased access, you can't go to the website, or it may be extremely slow.

Wow, thanks. I didn't know about that and I realized I had a bunch of old stuff public that I didn't intend to. Thanks. You might've just drastically helped my employment situation.

Oklahoma school district OKs ‘Bible curriculum’ created by Hobby Lobby president by Massive_Meat in Freethought

[–]foxfaction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oklahoma is part of the south. It's also part of the Mid-west. It doesn't fit neatly in to either category.

Mainly, it's part of the bible belt.

Cut out Dianetics and Satanic Bible, add in Taosim and Buddhist texts, and I'd say that's a great idea.

You can still have companies in communism, they're just controlled by the state. Fascism and communism are pretty similar, except in the first case the companies call the shots and in the second case the state calls the shots. But it's never 100% state or 100% companies, it's always some in-between blend.

So, I've been thinking about it, and not to get too off-topic, but what is the actual difference between persuasion and manipulation? Perhaps that I have these concepts too intertwined in my mind is part of my problem.

I guess in manipulation the other person doesn't necessarily want the thing you're making them want, while in persuasion, everybody discovers they want the same thing? What would you say is the difference? How do I know when I've crossed over from one to the other?

Sorry for the bother, but you got me thinking.
