Oddbean new post about login | logout dear leftist techies, you are blowing it not using bitcoin. you can fully reject the creepy influencer culture, and create your own. call it trans non binary spirit monkey kungfu kind for anti-imperialist bitcoin. just stop being made fools of by supporting and relying on mega corporate banking institutions. stop being used as useful idiots for those who only pretend to care so they can use you as a battery in their matrix. bitcoin is, direct payments, leftist to leftist, with no corporation inbetween.
Leftists, are you tired of the war industrial complex? How about the rich getting richer by default? How about money being cut off for Palestine? How about trans non binary 2 Spirit fox kins illegal immigrants not being able to open a bank account? Bitcoin is for you.
For real. But leftists and the originators of "copyleft" are clueless about reality. They are quite happy to fool themselves that using their masters' power structure in government & mega corps really is their best bet.
From my experience, leftists pretend to hate the power structures, but are simply jealous that they aren't the ones wielding them. That's why they'll likely, as a group, be last to Bitcoin.
Yes that's exactly correct. They're envious, weak. Were they in the position of command, they would use violence as a master to his slaves. It is evil itself. The master/slave mindset is one and the same evil, and leads to destruction, to weakness. It is antithetical to what I call the entrepreneur/philanthropist mindset: love, strength, courage, curiosity, honesty, logic. Bitcoin rewards this latter mindset.
bitcoin is class war. bitcoin ends the money printer class eho prints themselves into cantillionaires. there needs to be a campaign to hammer this point across. the capitalists brand bitcoin as capitalist stuff so leftists wont touch it. this needs to end
Bitcoin is capital. If leftist are too stuck in their stupid ideology to not want free market money, then that's on them. Under a Bitcoin standard, there will still be different classes of people. The only difference will be that the rich will earn their money. The leftist may actually hate that system even more, if they can't easily steal from the productive to give to the non productive. The commies will fight hard against a Bitcoin standard. Give it a bit more time, and they'll be the ones arguing that not using the nation state's currency is treason.
argue it however you want. the more ppl adopt btc, the better. left leaning folks have a different understanding. its not about free market money. capitalism is that with the privileged money printer class and always has been throughout history. we never had independent money for real. ending all money printers means everyone is in the same class. sure. some richer than others, but same rules apply l. class war ends. capitalism is mostly the rich getting rich by the printer access. VCs... banks... also govrrnemnts. did elon earn his billions? nope. openAI? nope. none of them is break evenhow did they get money access. by convincing capitalists to print money for them. leftists should join bitcoin. 🙂 division between "left" and "right" is just divide and conquer by the fiat money rulers. the actual capitalists since the dawn of capitalism 🙂 most leftists are poor. the rich are not leftists. they are fakers, corrupt, just like on all sides. rich money printer folks - a.k.a the trur capitalists in any real world derived definition instead of some textbook never happened in reality yet definition
“most leftists are poor” this one statement alone tells me your world view is founded on make believe.
i am not talking about the leftists that claim tonrepresent the left. The media or politicians. I mean the people who listen to them. The people who you meet in every day life if you stop and look. Whether its a nurse doing over hours or a volunteer to pick up trash in the city park or people organizing a flee market in the backyard of the local library or the the ones volunteering to build homeless shelters or host refugees at their homes and other little every day life gestures. many have little to know financial/business/economic literacy and just trust the narrative of people who talk about the right values. I met a freelance cook who is also a musician and organises yoga sessions and mostly in community places where he might not get paid, but he can eat for free. plenty of people socially engaged they all vote and are usually very afraid of trump who is supposedly hitler 🙃 and the ones i met werent rich at all - quite the opposite. fact is. bitcion mass adoption ends all classes. we are apl the same under bitcion. thats a bitcoin fact. no money printer for nobody 🙂
What I find fascinating about politics is how people end up supporting the opposite of what their political ideological values are. Like leftists supporting the authoitian state, censorship of speech, war. In Australia a conservative government introduced gun laws, GST, marriage equality and increased the money supply by 40% during COVID. Bitcoin consensus is primarily a social movement. But it is seen as right wing 🤷
