You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked[…]

Don’t go around telling them they don’t have to “do anything” plz 😅

You removed the emphasis on "You" from my quote which changes the meaning. I specifically meant that you, the person that I am replying to, don't need to do anything, and there are people who will do something on your behalf.

Nothing that you've said changes my critique of your critique btw. You said:

he lives in absolute La La land

No, actually he presented a well thought out analysis of the way that the relationship between business and customer/user in our current system, along with the relationship between business and legislator, both entrenches monopolies and causes a pathological dependency whereby customers cannot exercise their right to freely choose with whom they do business, and so their rights are severely diminished.

the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.

The main point of my reply was that you are arguing against a straw-man here since the intended audience of the article is not "the people with power."

like, buddy, your country just went full Nazi. You’ve been living in a total fantasy. You’re not going to rethink the concept of fixers, get a grip.

A non-sequitur and then a baseless dismissal of the argument that suggests that you either didn't read it, or didn't understand it.
