No, I am not. But in this case, I can confidently say supporting evil of any sort (even if it is a lesser evil) is not a moral choice.

Is supporting the lesser of two evils an ethical choice - probs

Is supporting the lesser of two evils a practical choice. - Oh yah.

Is supporting the lesser of two evils a moral choice - supporting evil by definition is not moral.

Correct but that was not a moral decision. The moral decision there is to abstain or to write in.

But we live in a FPTP voting system which essentially only allows two viable candidates. So someone can choose to make the moral decision (abstain or write in) or the make a non-moral decision that's forced upon them because of a system they did not choose. Sound similar?

The only moral option is to not support evil. But alas I need internet to work and I need to work to eat.

I'm appreciate you trying that!

I am not trying that because I don't see it as a way individual time and effort can provide value to my community.

I do direct action by giving my time to youth programs in somerville/cambridge. Praxis has many forms.

As I said before, it literally exists in the commonwealth. It is realistic, it literally exists. I don't think you're a selfish asshole; you're misinformed.

Concord seems to be the closest I can find to the greater boston area with it.

I have tried RCN. It was terrible on a scale that I have never experienced with Comcast. You keep ignoring me saying that.

Your premise erroneously limits the options available. I gave you another option but since it is not 'realistic' you disregarded it. (FYI there are at least 3 municipally owned and operated ISP's in MA alone and hundreds in the US. It is realistic.)

It's not that I am unwilling to support a smaller provider. It's that I see the smaller provider as no different than the larger one. It's all symptomatic of the same problem.

Yes, I understand how monopolies work. The solution is making internet a public utility not more internet corporations. RCN and Comcast are both horrible. I happen to be in a place where I have access to both so my experience is slightly less horrible than when someone has access to only one.

I had RCN for years and my experience with them was exponentially worse than comcast

That is what comcast is at now. I've had them for multiple years, am on a premium plan to get extra speed cause I am a dork, and have never paid 90 a month. When they do try and and do the it has been 24 months and we will increase your rate thing, you just call and threaten to go to RCN and they give you a good rate again.

Lol I did this over the weekend by accident. Luckily figured out it was the switch before we had to call anyone.
