 Hmm, I guess I'll just post the same reply to you as I did to the other guy...

Ad hominem is not a good path to intelligent discussion.

There's a meta argument being made in my post. You will have to sit with it a while before it makes sense though. Long time preference is a good thing. Try processing the tension between Joy's post and Vance's post - disengenuous people abound. Such is our murky, shit-stained modern "communication" happening in click-bites while actual things that matter are swept under the rug.

YOUR betters (the authorities you choose to place above you) love you and will act on your behalf not the corporations that are paying them to play.

Now back to eating my bowl of staples whilst drooling incessantly and watching Israel's holocaust on the Palestinian people -something actually supported by both facets of the 2 party political illusion.

 You’re making my point. Ad hominem is easier, and true in this instance, because it would take me a college dissertation to point to all the issues with your world view.

 Please by all means, enlighten me and the rest of humanity.

Until then, I'll leave you with the same response I gave HODL:

You are free to read whatever you like my friend. Anyone who has been paying attention to the scamdemic for the past 4 years understands the varying perspectives of scumbags attempting to rule our lives. You took simple "bait" (it's OK, most do), defended your political saviors by shitting on a regular person who probably has a lot more in common with you than JD Vance, and here we are. You are better than that. You don't have to bow before political "authority" (or any authority for that matter) to establish your human sovereignty. Another man is not your savior. Authority is not real. Be the best person you can be on YOUR terms instead of contributing to our continued enslavement. Seems that plenty of people showed up here to stake some freedom in btc. The price signal shot up and the values underpinning this revolutionary tech has resulted in people searching for the barn doors, trying to get back in. You are better than that.

Peace be in Jesus (I acknowledge your Christianity and respect that)
