For all of you being childish and sharing memes about how the
internet will be the same if Net Neutrality is repealed; that isn’t the
issue here. The issue is that 83% of the ENTIRE population was against
this happening, yet it happened anyways.

The issue was that Ajit
Pai was a former Verizon employee who was paid over $100 million from
the telecom cooperation’s to repeal this, along with his two
constituents. The issue is that the fate of the entire country was
decided by 5 rich people and did not allow any hearing from the public.

The issue is that there were over 2 million identities stolen
(including the identity of dead people) to post comments in favor of
repealing Net Neutrality, 1.9 million of them which were confirmed fake
and have legal investigation cases being opened on them for being fraud
as well as identity theft.

The issue is that they were asked to
halt this vote because of the illegal happenings so that they could have
time to investigate it, INCLUDING Republican’s, and they were denied.

The issue is that when giving their ‘reasons’ as to why they thought
repealing it was needed, they gave no VALID reasons and did not even
acknowledge any of the reasons that the public was worried. In
extension, they made no attempts to quell them, they just called us
stupid. Instead they all made jokes and laughed, turning themselves into
the victims for being rightfully criticized for being sellouts.

The issue is that they constantly poked fun at how idiotic they thought
we were acting, even though we have legitimate, valid concerns. Even
though we’re mostly concerned about those of us who have our
livelihood’s of our businesses on the line, they instead pointed fun
saying ‘we can still watch cat videos and share memes’ (legit something
that was actually said in their ‘argument’ yesterday). And that was
literally all they said. The issue is that there wasn’t even a ‘debate’,
despite the corruption being brought to everyone’s attention, and the
evidence of the American people not wanting this.

The issue is
that this sets the stance that we are willing to let the cooperation’s
or anyone with money do whatever the fuck they want and get away with
it. This issue is more than just internet freedom. It’s about democracy.
And if you can’t see that, you’re beyond help. #SaveNetNeutrality

Another issue is that literally none of the people who voted on the subject were elected. 3 unelected corporate shills just decided the fate of 323,100,000 people and then tried to make ppl arguing with them on twitter sound like morons for wanting a say in their own future.

Additionally, internet access was deemed a human right (due to the huge role it plays in free sharing of information) by the United Nations over a decade ago.

This is not only an act of enormous selfishness, it’s also literally a human rights violation enacted on 300 Million people in the name of fiscal gain, while laughing at those people’s distress.

Hell, 3 supposedly Republican ‘representatives’ voted against the will of 75% of Republicans. 3/4s of their own supposed party.

The only best interests they have in mind are their own. And you really want to question why they’re so opposed to the idea of the average American being able to freely share information, particularly in one of the most turbulent political climates I can name.

food water and shelter were deemed human rights by the un too but do we provide that

We fucking should.
