Because they're doing it to spy on Americans.

We need to go back to pre-9/11 plane organization.

This is just wrong.

In principle, in a free country, you should be able to. But you can't, so it's not actually free.

Meh. 3D printer plastic goes for like $24 a pound on Amazon whereas almost everything you buy costs hundreds and is disposable largely because their cheap, shitty plastic frames aren't repairable. Being able to 3D print your own frames for electronics or tools or machines would save you so much money in the long run.

But the powers that be don't want that. That's the real reason why they've had it out for 3D printers. Printing guns is just an excuse.

It's not about making firearms. It's about being able to make literally anything else, the ability to do so being something that would liberate individuals, to some extent, from the capitalist system. That's what they really don't want.

Do they ever explain where they get the gas for those things?

You're right, I haven't. What dumb bullshit were they saying?

Then start convincing people to use it.

The only one who is going to be hurt by you constantly making excuses is you. No matter what hurdles you face, you have to overcome them, even if you have to build your own separate network from scratch, or you'll never be free from the yoke of corporations and more importantly for you, you'll never be free of the blame.

You've been talking to yourself, yes

Then start building community ISPs that allow for individuals to have their own IPs again.

If you want to solve the problem, you have work to do.

Or you can sit around and complain like you're trying to justify and defend doing, and live without access to ad free quality videos. Your choice.

Then purchase a hosting service. Off-shore VPSes are pretty cheap, and they take Bitcoin. Even fucking Paypal uses Bitcoin nowadays. Only hurdle in your way is you.

There's rule of law in the U.S.? 🤔
