Incorrect. It is those who refuse to look at other examples that fundamentally work that are literally (by it's very definition...) naive.

If other countries are doing things better than the USA... Then they are certainly relevant points that can and should be brought up.

That's arguable, what works for other nations does not need to necessarily work for america ... 

Doing things "better" always comes with "trade-offs" too in realistic scenarios such as the closest nation to competing US healthcare research is still in a distant second despite delivering better quality of life statistics ... (in this case no other nations should be depended upon as innovators since they aren't motivated to create better treatments) 

Should we start bringing up relevant points when the likes of China will start doing better in some measures than developed 1st party countries ?

It was a simple question. I am not an American, so your political alignment has no direct bearing upon me.
You could be dating Trump or the Queen of England and I wouldn't care, I was just inquiring to see if there was another motive that justifies your position.

The rhetoric you have consistently used has pretty much spelled it out. - However, if that assumption is indeed incorrect then I apologize.

Why even test me like this ? What do you get out of asking these questions since there's no guarantee that you can absolutely know what I'm saying is truth or not ? 

That's just a red herring ...

I have pirated games before because I disliked a games monetization strategy. - I am not above paying for it either once they overturn their shenanigans, although such an occurrence has been rare and I generally do not support piracy.


However... The difference between net neutrality is that, you don't know what services will be negatively affected until... You know. It comes time to use those services.
Internet provider has a tiff with Youtube and yet there is no Youtube addon package? Stiff shit. Go without or deal with the excessive buffering.

New company just started up that offers a VPN service? Stiff shit, go without or go with a company which your internet provider demands.

It's like with the Netflix shenanigans when bandwidth was being throttled to Netflix, they essentially blackmailed Netflix to pay more, that's not a good thing for consumers... As that erodes on Netflix's profit margins, meaning that they will likely reduce investment in new content or raise their fee's. - You see the flow-on effect right?

Well if you have pirated games before then don't you feel their pain if some of your customers decided to steal service and goods from you because they thought it wasn't worth the value ? 

It's the effect of net neutrality we don't know about but we do know what service we'll be getting since that is ALWAYS specified in the contract. Lootboxes on the other hand don't give you any guarantee on what content you'll receive ...
