I'm not convinced. Sanders is pure politician. He offered nothing but more politics. RFK is primarily an activist in the environmental and pharmaceutical spheres, and what better way to raise one's profile and to be heard than to run for the presidency.
It became clear that RFK wasn't going to be "selected", so he found the next best way to retain his profile and possibly even some influence in the matters that concern him most - pharma, agrochemical and regulatory corruption.
To be sure, the corruption is on both sides of the unaparty, but who can make anything positive of a group so deeply mired as the Dems?
We're all biased in one way or another - every single one of us, and that's a good thing. Others challenge our biases, and we challenge theirs. That's a good thing. It expands our understanding of how the world works.
Systemic bias on the other hand, is engineered to force a particular understanding, and that's obviously a bad thing. Systemic bias is engineered by a system such as a corporate or political entity. Curated Twitter or Farcebook feeds are examples of engineered bias.
They are fiat zealots that view Bitcoin simply as a way to accumulate more fiat. They don't understand, and probably won't understand until they are broke.
I think it's a good name. I want to hear robust unfiltered discussion (as long as it is intelligent). Mr Obnoxious strikes me as someone who is unlikely to be a woke politically correct namby-pamby. You've got my attention.
The inflationary fiat money system put an end to it. If you have to spend your money as quickly as possible, and also have interest bearing debt to repay, there's no time or surplus for such niceties.
If you want a curated feed, you might as well sit in front of the TV and watch MSNBC all day. It takes effort and intellectual engagement to filter fact from fiction.
