They only have to win once. You have to win every time.

To repeal it you only need to win once too.

Not quite, the EU parliament can't propose new laws nor repeal existing ones, only amend them and vote on proposals from the commission.
The Stop Killing Games campaign, for example, has noticed that the EU commission keeps repeating lobbyist lies and has no expectations of new laws actually passing, so they're focusing on amending existing law through parliament.

The repeal would have to be proposed by the same people who proposed the law in the first place. The European Parliament can't initiate the process on its own.

I want them to win. The internet is stupid right now. A culture eating its own tail.

Pray tell, how would stepping closer to a dystopian hellscape help the internet from eating itself? Somehow, having omnipotent watchers is going to make the internet... more fun and welcoming?

I think he means that maybe it‘s for the best if „the internet“ in its current state dies, i.e. people move on from the current platforms towards other ones or real life.

That depends on what outcome you’re looking for. I want a fundamental change to internet right now, any change from the status quo is probably for the best.
