i don't think you're misremembering it, it's just that there was a huge commercial push to quash the idea of a "communist internet" that would cut them out of the business by sharing cheap/free internet service. plus, the tech evolved.

but the idea of mesh wifi didn't die. in several major cities, mesh wifi/internet solutions exist. NYC Mesh, for example, is the local mesh network here in NYC:

We are a diverse group of volunteers dedicated to ending the digital divide and extending high-speed, reliable internet to all New Yorkers. You can help by joining our community network to get online, volunteering to connect neighbors or grow the network, and donating to improve our community infrastructure and ensure access for all.

for some reason, i don't think that would stop him from trying anyway and then throwing a tantrum for being ineligible.

Not only is this hilariously reductionist, it belies such an ignorance of both Marxism and communism in general, that it borders on misinformation.

If you have to keep moving the goalposts this much and swing around the no true Scotsman fallacy like a cudgel, you should just admit that you lost the argument instead of digging, the whole, deeper and deeper.

for someone who fails to grasp the intersection of race and class dynamics to call others "simpletons" and "tools" only makes a joke of themselves. thanks for the laugh.

is repeating the same tired talking point while hurling insults supposed to make you sound clever?

Sure, if I knew what they were searching for

you said so yourself in your first comment in this thread:

I believe they are referring to the Georgia Floyd protests, though I’m not aware of any significant sentences related to that.

also

and where

if you're curious as to what search engine to use, the one mentioned several times in this comment thread (including by you):

Google

also

You are also making huge assumptions on the search capabilities of the average person.

show me where i made these alleged assumptions. a quote or a link to the comment would do.

It’s better to link to its when making an argument so all parties have access to the information.

please do
