Oddbean new post about login | logout After 20 years of forever wars, growing social decline and exacerbating economic demise, it seems that we are still immune to learning that politicians lie. Most politicians run from responsibility like a fat kid from a diet plan, and electing an overweight billionaire won’t lessen the White House’s appetite for cake. Voting for Trump may temporarily muffle the echo haunting that empty space between your ears as you convince yourself to at least have done _something_ to fulfill your imaginary patriotic duties, but it can’t change the moral corruption inherent to US politics – and it sure won’t change anything for Bitcoin. When your morals can be bought, you are not a patriot – you are a sell out. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/orange-man-good-selling-out-on-the-campaign-trail- https://m.primal.net/IiDZ.jpg
Y'all are still voting for politicians? I only vote on initiatives/referendums/etc
I would have thought you would like Chase Oliver? He seems to be closely aligned with your values. I usually vote libertarian, but I might vote for Kennedy this time. He has a lot of issues, but he was very good on Covid. I still haven't decided between him and Oliver.
We might be kind of partial as to your choice here ;-) But if RFK doesn't win the plurality of the votes nothing changes. Voting for candidates for new parties allows to build a system for the future as we discussed with Forbes earlier this month. https://peertube.uno/w/18vUuin7Jowub7RCwaLV9a
Nah. Bitcoin influences everything it comes into contact with and this clearly includes politics. Know the rules, play the game to win.
Read the article, shut your mouth
Jesus Christ is that picture real?

Yeah it’s real….it is his daughter Ivanka. Obviously Epstein was superimposed. The cope is palpable

This is clearly fake.
Did a quick image search before posting so I don't think so, but there's enough more to choose from if that helps with your conscience https://m.primal.net/IiIe.jpg https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/11/nyregion/jeffrey-epstein-history.html?pgtype=Article®ion=Footer

"When your morals can be bought, you are not a patriot – you are a sell out." So you have upheld your morals by writing, submitting and publishing an article in the magazine owned by the person you are implying is a sell-out? Doesn't traffic from your article benefit the sell-outs? Did the magazine/CEO you are complaining about pay you and publish the article? So you can take money from a sell-out use your work to benefit a sell-out and yet you are not a sell-out? I don't get it? Honest questions.
you should try looking up editorial independence, that should help
Thanks, had never heard of it and I did on your recommendation. Based on what I found, I don't see how its relevant when it comes to getting paid. If I think my boss is a scum bag but I keep working for them and make them money and help their business I don't think I'm the good guy. "Editorial independence is the absence of external control or influence on journalists, authors, or media organisations in general. " I understand your views are your own and independent of the magazine and owner etc. What I don't understand is calling others morality into question or calling them sell outs and then accepting money from them. I agree with you there is no point in trusting politicians to make good on their claims but you lost me choosing to publish with the outlet I believe you are implying has sold-out. And I don't think you are a sell-out, I don't know you. I just think the whole situation is really weird.

there is no "we".
yoh have 2 evils to pick from. Which one will get us yo a bitcoin standard faster is the question. You can't do much about the rest but you can opt out with your money and feet.
You simply don't pick one. Pretty easy.
