 It isn't the production they complain about (just nimby it away); it's the consumption.  There's a dearth of illogic they serve us about why burning coal is bad though.

When it first was released, there wasn't any marketing around "self stacking"; it was all focused on payments and P2P txns.  So imagine my surprise when I gave it a shot and went from having no Strike account, to receiving a successful LN payment to my node in ~5 minutes!

Been spending a few seconds a day stacking that way 🤣

 If there were a legal private sector alternative to finding and capturing child abusers & traffickers across state and national borders, there'd be far fewer FBI agents doing that work.  But the tools and data needed to do that work are captured & monopolized "for national security" 😔

 "I'm going to attack you with this weapon, and you can use 'respect' to defend yourself" 🤣  

Sometimes, relying on the physical is better than relyimg on the abstract.

 Some folks are deliberate & patient; others are more impulsive.  Anyone with 2 kids or more can likely attest.  I'm not sure the spectrum is a matter of belief unless you're in an extremely thick bubble of human isolation! 🤣 
 Any answer about time preference can really only come from within, eg. Only the ones who were married can answer.  But you're right, bitcoiners do tend to misuse it as a kind of synthetic "I'm more zoomed out than you" argument 🙄
