I didn't seem to read the same vulgar libertarian subtexts that you did. It was more an outline of computer technology enabling an easier proliferation of alternatives to state-provided services. There isn't much of a value judgment being made, in fact it notes that "opportunities are being exploited by a range of startups and companies who are essentially building private infrastructure, mainly for the relatively wealthy".
- Daishiman 11y agoI see the absence of a value judgement in the observation of the infrastructure of a developed country falling apart and as explicitly saying that it doesn't really concern him. As a citizen, investor, whatever, that fact should be frightening for all sorts of reasons. The investment opportunities are, if anything, a minor consolation. I don't think you'll find a lot of people cheering for obscenely bad causes, but you'll definitely find a lot of people who have very neutral opinions and opportunistically seize business opportunities without much regard of the externalities and systemic effects.
