And while perhaps not representative of Freep, the paranoia is amusing.
Voluntaryist spares no drama:
1984 begins at 12:01 AMvisualops knows this is a meaningless policy, but then falls into inchoate paranoia:
ICANN does control the naming. they do not control the physical internet. But we always say “oh well they would never do that”. and we know how that ends up.visualops then cancels anything that look informed above:
it’s just unconscionable.Voluntaryist also thinks Trump will save us from this crisis he's made up:
what we need now, is Trumpnet.
This will be addressed by Trump very soon. We blast one trunk line and this is over!!We invented it— it is ours!!RoseofTexas is sure the antichrist is behind this, controlling Congress:
I actually have a feeling Trump will propose a decentralized internet, which is something we should’ve had a very long time ago. The reason we don’t have this now, in my opinion, is because high taxes, wasteful government spending, and less incentive for venture capitalists to invest in new ideas with this terrible economy.
And our representative just rolled over!! Bastards! Truly the antichrist is alive and well!!Electric Graffiti just wallows in despair:
“The Internet Takeover Is Happening”montag813 predicts the Internet is gonna be like Youtube:
Meanwhile the takeover of the United States is almost complete.
The rule of law is dead. The federal gubbermint is corrupt, compromised and illegitimate. The executive branch is being run by the muslim brotherhood.
COMING SOON...Fitzy_888 has a different bureaucratic hate-fantasy, one which dredges up another bit of paranoid musing:
Your website "FREEREPUBLIC.COM | IP 203.108.32.122"
has received a "Offensive Speech" complaint from: "MICRONESIA (anonymous)" and has been taken offline
Your inquiry is very important to us. Please expect a response within 6 to 8 weeks.
I suspect it will operate much like the IRS...Arthur Wildfire! March - "we are now reduced to lawsuits," which is truly what comes right before civil war:
Domain name approval or database correction times....
Rock_Rib_Conservative.com. 28 months
Trannies_for_Social_Justice.com 4 hours
Michele_Obamas_Prolateriate_Garden.com. 1 minute 17 seconds
We are now reduced to lawsuits. We should have done a better job of informing ourselves in advance, then informing the public, then leading a call to impeach Obama for this High Crime.ought-six declares evil has won:
The lights are going off all over the world.
Arthur Wildfire has been the loudest Freeper on the subject and, typical in the world of Freepers, the loudest is the one who knows the least about the ICANN "handover".
ReplyDeleteThese are the same people who were worried about Earth's demise during Y2K!
The internet was handed over on October 1st and things haven't fallen apart. Free Republic is still free to post inane garbage from strange, obscure blogs and hold the garbage as fact.
Maybe that's the especially- devious plan: to make everyone think that everything is the same way it is before!
The illuminati is really good!
"1984 begins at 12:01 AM"
ReplyDeleteIt apparently takes an extra minute for the world to be changed back into 1984.
Michelle Obama's Prolateriate Garden would be a fun band name.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Trump might propose a decentralized Internet? Gee, what a concept! I'm amazed we've never tried it before! All this time, I guess we've just been keeping the Internet in a shoebox in the basement of the Pentagon!
ReplyDeletePardon me, that's doublethink, not blackwhite. For some reason I was thinking of a person believing a color is both black and white at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe color gray IS both black & white
ReplyDeleteat the same time. Gray.
TWINKIE KING
