I'm not a big fan of ipv6, but fan or not, I bet if all spammy mailchimp type provider IP ranges were confiscated and freed, we'd be in ipv4 land for another 20 years.

And as a second thought, the way China amd Russia are going, maybe we should just reclaim all their ipv4 addresses, and just give each country 1 IP, they can proxy through it on their end.

Then say goodbye to the internet and hello to a mesh of country-specific networks.

Finally, true decentralisation!

? That's my point, as this is China already, and Russia is not far behind.

We already have that. It’s just we are in denial as a society about it.

Globalization is over. The post Berlin wall fall consensus undermined and ruined.

The last to realize, loses.

The quickest way to achieve defeat is to convince yourself that you have already lost.

One address should be enough for everyone? Bill Gates just reached zen.
