Everyone you may vote for will try to expand government power. no one anywhere near being nominated is going to return us to the days of bonanza and Clint Eastwood. or possibly could.

republicans expand it at an INSANE rate compared to Democrats, its just they expand it by buying more guns and getting us involved in more no end wars and police operations...

while they remove all sense of stability here in the US in order to fear you into voting for them again and again.

spoiler alert, the FBI can crack an iPhones decryption and they can do so without a court order. It's not legal, but it happens. This whole boycott on Apple is just a publicity stunt.

For Trump, yes it is.

For the FBI, it is to set legal precedent and expand their powers over the 4th amendment. As well as forcing a private company to pay for the development of a spy system for them. They don't give a shit about the data on this work Iphone imo.

Actually ill give you this one, for now. but only with an interesting argument for the libertarian.

technically we would have much faster internet in the states if it wasn't for some age old bureaucratic nonsense about building infrastructure. If a corporation supplies something for public use, a road, lights, or in this case the Internet, they have to prove that what they supply will last for a long time at least many many years. This was to ensure infrastructure projects would be built to stand the test of time and not be a cash and grab for greedy industrialists.

Thats where google comes in, they are a company that like to build things that dont last and supply short term solutions. That way they can always supply the most modern technology. This ideal contradicts ideals of yore and in the case of providing highspeed wi-fi to everyone at free to low cost clashed. Google would be forced to build infrastructure that would last many years when what it would rather do is fly a bunch of weather balloons in the air to provide internet, or any other short term solution.

So thats part of the many reasons we dont have the best internet speeds in the US. Theres many more but thats just a case where the argument for less governmental control could be made.

I prefer an argument that the governmental control that once worked very well, and resulted in the best infrastructure in the entire world, could once again do that if updated to be more in line with progressive standards.

tl;dr sometimes good government policies age poorly, the case for the argument is we can be involved in that if we want to be but with a corporation remember, whatever they want to do, you do.

No, I get it. "Know it alls" such as yourself have a difficult time letting go of even the most ridiculous assertions and will continue to defend them so as to appear "smart."

Nah, you definitely don't get it. You read at a level below that at which Lune writes. You have consistently misinterpreted his words since his first post in this thread. You've even called him incoherent when he's been expressing himself perfectly clearly. His grasp of the language simply exceeds yours. Hell, in some instances you've even failed to understand the words you yourself are using. Anyone reading this thread has already seen it. It's embarrassing. I feel bad for your mother. You seem dumb, friend, really fucking dumb -- and no amount of projection will fix this.

Yeah, I definitely got it and you certainly missed my points, just as Lune did, who is full of herself. But what can you do? You just go back and forth pointing fingers as we have done here.

And of course we have little "proxies" such as yourself who troll. I arose to the bait, so you can't be fully blamed. Just too bad she can't speak for herself.

Edit: And just so it is clear how remarkably stupid the person you are defending is, we were discussing American politics and Lune didn't recognize that the government of the USA is by the people and of the people (Or, as Lincoln said, "and that government of the people, by the people, for the people"). Perhaps you should give more thought to your defense of someone and especially when you haven't fully read all the posts involved?
