I'd like to know how I'm implicitly against Western values, as Albion has implied.

Literally no British person says "The sun never sets on the British empire" anymore. It is an antiquated term at least 60 years outdated. I don't know why you're holding me accountable for why my country did centuries before I was born.

I have no idea where this analysis comes from. Contemporary leftists, be they American or British tend to be just as critical of contemporary Uk and US foreign policy. Someone who slams America for the invasion of Iraq is not likely to exempt the Uk from their broadside.

When have I broadbrushed Americans?

Who is "they?" I'd say this is not a universal truth, or even a general truth of Europeans at all - *especially* in the last 5 years.

The poster you're replying to literally gave examples of secular states that fell into Islamic theocracy. How does that resemble even slightly making excuses for contemporary theocracies?

Given the US relatively recent foreign policy adventures, this is pretty laughable. I don't know where you get the idea that European nations believe foreign nations belong to us. Do you not think your analysis of Europeans is pretty broadbrushing, to say the very least?

What conclusion is that? America is the most influential nation on the planet. Of course people in every other nation will pay attention to what happens there.

I have every right to scrutinise any aspect of the American political system.

I don't think it's unfair to imagine the evangelical goal (broadly) as being at least some of the following: 1) Forced prayer in schools 2) Ten Commandments outside court rooms 3) Ability to fire and deny service to gay people (and others, potentially) 4) Ban on all abortion 5) Ban on all...

He surrounds himself with pseudo-dominionists who want to, or whose policies in impact would alienate and isolate atheists politically.

What changes to family do all, or most atheists necessarily want to make - and how are they wound up in traditional western values? What changes to faith do all, or most atheists necessarily want to make - and how are they wound up in traditional western values? What changes to citizenship do...

Ignoring Trump itself, it's mostly due to the fact he surrounds himself and appoints Christian conservatives and dominionists to high positions. Do you imagine Atheists would like that?

Do they? What traditional western values are you suggesting atheists are almost necessarily hostile towards?

This isn't even remotely comparable. Your ISP isn't broadcasting you content, or signing deals with other companies to promote their content. You find it yourself. Do you like the idea of your ISP blocking or throttling sites it doesn't like?

Not a bad thing, why? Because you don't like it?

Net Neutrality is the principle of treating all traffic equally. Without the protections it grants, your ISP may block/throttle services you use and charge you extra for them, or not offer any option at all.

Net Neutrality.

But legislation like NN prevents them from doing that.

There's literally no good reason to not have a safeguard like NN in. There's no good reason for companies to throttle or block websites for profit. In any case, your original point was that NN was constricting ISPs in massive paperwork. Not even they seem to make that claim.
