Yep.
I recall a conversation I had with some politically vocal leftist people I know maybe 8 years ago. They were talking about how much racism there is. And then they proceeded to speak in massive generalities about people from the south. I mentioned that they sounded very bigoted to me. I pointed out that having lived in the west, mid-west, and south I've encountered bigotry and racism everywhere I've lived. But its hard to have any credibility on bigotry when you demonstrate it.
One cannot change their "race" but they also can't change where they are from. Racism is terrible but its only one form of hatred. An ugly one and one that is rightfully despised. Bigotry is far more acceptable as long as you pick the right group.
new left is surprisingly intolerant...
They are what they claim to hate in so many ways. It's absurd and also so human. And by that I mean not unusual.
The new left is as moralistic as the old conservative religious right. They are as hate fueled as they protray the MAGA movement. They hold so much bigotry toward working poor white people that are too dumb to vote Democrat.
I've suspected these things for years but they are now exposed for everyone to see.
And parents (at least some) are finally realizing this. But this isn't new. It's just gotten worse in the last 20 years. Government schooling was always a problem but it's reached new lows.
Oh this is interesting. Malcom X is such an interesting figure and to often ignored by the modern culture.
What is the green agenda? Socialism? That's usually what I get from it. Sounds like he is doing it and not just LARPing like most that talk green.
Massie is an interesting dude and as close to a Ron Paul as I have seen in office. Pretty based for a politician and honestly, more than most of us keyboard warriors.
FDA revolving door with the industry it regulates
Lack of liability of vaccine makers
Massive increase if frequency and number of vaccines after the removal of liability
He asked many questions about Fauci and his track record.
I mean the guy went after polluting corporations for years. Have met many progressives that have long followed him for these reasons.
I have said, I don't think he's right about everything he says but the reason he has been attacked is his stance against powerful corporations that basically own the media through ad dollars.
He may be wrong in some of his conclusions but instead of fair reporting on him all I see is smears. It's really telling. They fear him.
Wondering if it is lightning payment failures. I haven't tried to debug it yet. Been to busy lately.
Yeah, noncustodial wallet and using the sync feature. It works fine most of the time but I hit times when payments for comments and zaps are pending and eventually work after a retry.
100%
A person can also not be 100% correct and yet asking good questions that no one is supposed to ask.
He has explained his position many times as not anti-vax. For a culture that prides itself on self actualition what they do to RFK is pretty inconsistent.
fiat-minded, profit-driven approach?
Everyone has internal meanings for things they say and often they do not align with what others mean by the same words.
To me fiat minded and profit driven are not both bad. I work and run a business to make a profit on my time. I save in Bitcoin because I don't want that work to be wasted away. I want my life force to at least sustain and better yet increase. That's called profit. It's not fiat minded.
Now, fiat minded is primarily a thing produced by monetary inflation. If your money is ever decreasing in spending power we are incentivized to spend now and not save. Its time preference. Fiat influences us to spend rather than save. Its different from profit minded.
A bit of advice. You really should not care what so called maxi think. What do you think? What are your goals? Many that call themselves Maxis are just LARPers and keyboard warriors.
You clearly see the tradeoff differences in a stock vs bitcoin. The rational advice many give on MSTR even from Saylor is buy Bitcoin. If you have money in a tax advantaged investment account it's likely going to be a tax hit to pull it out. Maybe you think it's worth taking it out for many reasons. No one should be able to make that decision for you. Depends to much on your view of government and the future.
I would never buy MSTR over bitcoin. But if I had money trapped in a fiat based system and was going to lose a lot by pulling out I would need to do the math. If I decided to leave it in I would probably buy an ETF and maybe MSTR. Good luck
