I get that some folks are super into HTML PURITY, but this is one of the lesser offensive things Comcast does imo.

Like... way less offensive to me than DNS hijacking, for instance.

(or the fucking fiber-taps that give the pigs push-button "lawful intercept" functionality without any inconvenience or expense for the ISP)

Furthermore... people can't just hang onto their old-as-shit modems indefinitely as the DOCSIS standard changes/improves over time and providing backwards compatibility isn't always feasible.

Good point, more cops need to follow his brave example and kill themselves.

It's just like.... Is there actually any meaningful conflict between marxists and anarchists in real life today? It seems to all be on the Internet... I know RCP cultists in real life and I think their politics are shit so I don't associate with their shit unless there is a damn-good reason to do so, it's not like we're exchanging gunfire or anything.

All the disagreement over what actions to take during a theoretical revolution just seems so abstract and meaningless to argue about to me.

I'm really glad I don't talk like this anymore... One tip to improve your rhetoric: applying antique marx-derived words and condescending phrases like "educate the masses", "agitate more workers", etc. comes off as really creepy and condescending to normal people. If your goal is to appeal to regular folks and not just radical-lefty weirdos like us you should speak like one when discussing your politics.

As for refuting the content of your post, I think others have already done a better job at that than I would.

I'd like a monkey with a concertina to play random notes as I am flung from a catapult like a sack of potatoes into a hastily dug hole and unceremoniously buried with a black and pink skid loader.

Moderately impressive.... DWDM gear that lets you put 50+ waves on a single fiber pair are pretty common though, and 50 1tbps waves is 50tbps right there.... but I guess the impressive part is they are doing that for thousands of miles with only amplification in-between (not regenerating the signal itself), so they must be doing something cool.
