There is a fundamental difference between using anti-competitive behaviour to break a monopoly, and using it to entrench a monopoly.

Yes, and as we all know, a company that gets to the top using scummy tactics will definitely change them once they're on top. /s

How fucking naive are you? There's no difference between the two because the later turns into the former every time. You're just defending your favored party using shit tactics, which is why you can't defend the opposite.

That's like arguing that a bully using violence and someone standing up to a bully using violence is the same thing.

If you have to use violence constantly to survive and thrive, violence is your only tool. Once the bully is defeated, the victim will begin bullying, continuing the cycle of violence. This is no different.

Lol no. It's called competition. It's the literal entire basis of how our economic system is supposed to work and remain balanced, and having two competitors inherently creates more competition than just one where their inherently is no competition.

Now who's naiive, you really think that every time someone has stood up for themselves that they've gone on to become a bully?
