Yeah… I think a lot of people who identify as progressives, many of them normie friends of mine have been brainwashed and co-opted by the everyday bashing of information in the MSM — they’ve been taught to hate capitalism and free market, blame corporatism for rising inflation etc. That Bitcoin is bad for the planet, ponzi scam etc.
But objectively that is done at the hand of the propaganda that’s being spewed everyday in what they read and what they listen to so that they simply don’t look the other way — the way of Bitcoin. And many progressives are way too far the in deep end sadly to even consider an alternative.
If the @TPBPod can help them at least start looking into what’s really going on… and how they could protect themselves, their kids, families, that’s a win for all of us. nostr:note15c4ylsz39t805f7783cynmtgd6xgwjgzzqn3l6hkqt64tjctp6esauvp9z
You know it’s all based on propaganda towards emotionally driven people because they refuse to listen to reason and logic and evidence.
I think that argument can be made for all kinds of people, not just those on the left.
Looks like your friends are leaning left
I’ve been talking to few real lefties and they have the same issues with free markets, capitalism and current state of farmers and labourers
I nudged them towards bitcoin, let’s see
The brainwashing and narratives are from both sides..
- Maybe we are not causing global warming but we should keep our shit clean and not pollute
- We shouldn’t ban guns but we can’t let crazy people have them
- Solar, alternative energy sources and electric cars are good for the future, but we shouldn’t use it as an excuse to print money and over incentivize and manipulate the industry and demonize the importance of fossil fuels
- Communism is different than Social-ism is different than Social-programs. You can have a large, strong capitalistic free market society and still have successful social programs. One of the worst socialisms are the bank bail outs and market bond buying… Socialism for business and the rich...
We need to see beyond all the lies from all sides and find the true path. Remember, they want to divide us and have us fight each other, it makes control easier for them.
Whenever people are taught to hate something before they are encouraged to understand it, my recommendation is to start over from scratch. Of course, people rarely listen when they are already in that mindset.
Couldn’t agree more — goes for Bitcoin and a whole lots of other topics that are talked about in so called “progressive” MSM press.
It’s always sad when they aren’t willing to listen and critically think about these issues 😔 Anytime I notice my friends start parroting news headlines I’m just kind of like but you haven’t really looked, have you? 🤷🏽♂️
People have been conditioned to outsource their opinions. This is not just a left-specific phenomenon.
