    Maybe because scooby doo was my least favorite cartoon as a kid, on Saturday mornings it came on once the good shows were done and it was time to play video games, but I didn’t mind Velma. It wasn’t great, I’m not going to go out of my way defending it, but it was a solid okay. I don’t get the hate, it seems overblown for a mid show. It had some jokes, solid sleep time show rewatch (to ruin any credibility my opinion has, brickleberry is in the same category for me).

    “Normal guy in 2000”

    as someone who was into computers and in high school in 2000, that that was not normal.

    even if yo mean normal computer literate person, not even then… Most people did not run their own servers, was it more common, yeah, but it wasn’t a given.

    Things were only free if you were into piracy, everything cost money though without as much marketing, but then it wasn’t a huge market…

    Also ads were everywhere and worse…

    I guess i’m getting that from when you first said,

    but in a truly free market capitalist system

    I just assumed you were defending a “truly free market” capitalism.

    to address what you just posted,

    is it appropriate to blame capitalism when a public corporation in collusion with the government is at fault for an issue? If not, why?

    yes, capitalism creates the conditions for that collusion. It allows entities with the only goal of profit at any cost.

    removing the government doesn’t reduce that corruption it just allows it to go unchecked without even an illusion of protection to the public.

    Okay, let’s do it explain how in a “pure” capitalist society a public body, without the ability to at least nominally use a legal system to guard against collusion and monopoly using the threat of breaking up or shutting down corporations, provide any protection?

    Giving them the power to do that makes them just a government by another name.
