Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 day agoYou are speculating on hypotheticals though, since no one can know for certain how things would have unfolded in a different world.
I’m not even going to argue that capitalism doesn’t get you some positive outcomes for certain people.

How am I speculating when my argument is based on reality?

You’re speculating that an internet wouldn’t have emerged without capitalism. Capitalism exists, therefore we can’t know if that’s true or not.

Exactly, we can’t know if that’s true or not, but we do know it emerged in reality because of capitalism. That’s all we need to make a case for capitalism, since real-life examples always outweigh imaginary ones.
