@lanodan @feld @hj I'm jumping in this thread late and I don't particularly care if people agree with me or not on the topic, but I feel compelled to say that counterparty risk of leaving your money in a bank is a less than ideal arrangement, in particular if you've got more money than is federally insured ($250,000). if you have the tech where you don't need a bank, then banks should go away. Some people may want or need banks but banks are the actual hack on top of money, not crypto.

@lanodan @feld @hj until you experience how primitive banking in the USA is you won't fully appreciate why so many people are excited about crypto

the worst thing the internet has done is that it has convinced a significant portion of its users that every single story or post or idea or concept or community has to relate to them in some capacity. if they are not in the core audience, they need to be included. if they are not happy with it, they need to be satisfied. the sociological concept of exclusion is not an inherently moral debate, sometimes you are just not included in a group or community and that is fine.

But yes, Canada is actually using the idea that their hockey team are wearing masks as a real talking point against mandate protests. Over and over, every time any Canadian athlete wins wearing a mask, that will be the headline. Like it's fucking relevant.

It really seems like the Canadian gov't is about to attack the truckers.

5 Nigerian Physicists Predict Global Cooling In The Next 80 Years: 2100 Will Be 0.5°C Colder Than 2018
Funny, it seems the sun controls the climate, and CO2 is a false god.

@s8n @sjw they are trying to sell a shady narrative that you should just give a sizeable bulk of your income away to poor people every month

Liberals can't fathom life outside of a big blue city and paying less than $2k/mo for a tiny studio apartment.

Here's the thing: if you force me to participate in any form of socialized program, aka take my money without my consent, you're violating my rights straight up. And that's the opposite of anarchism. It is VERY clear. If you chose to live under a socialized system, that's your choice. Do what makes you happy.

Found out something gross regarding my cousin & covid.
He's getting paid a whopping $48 an hour to be a "vaccination ambassador". I shit you not. He went from being a EMT to this.

His job that he's getting nearly 50 bucks an hour for? Driving shipments & administering covid shots to kids at schools. He's too high on cool aid & stupid to realize that if a job is paying you so much for so little, it's greased-palms kind of money. They have too much money to burn - most from our taxes - AND there's high immoral implications. Like when gov contracts pay drivers extra money to drop off certain trailers or shipments in the middle of nowhere with no questions asked.

He says he'll ride the lucrative "covid train" for all it's worth, but yes too stupid & ideologically blinded to see he isn't riding the "train", he's a fuckin crew member. If they're making so much money from the jab to pay their foot soldiers such egregious amounts of cash, then imagine what the higher ups are getting. It's become too lucrative to end these "vaccines", & my cousin is helping to keep the nightmare of our failing lives & country going through his actions. Who do you think will win over in Canada for example: a bunch of truckers honking horns, or an industry & governor making so much tons of cash from pushing the jab?

50 bucks an hour to spread the jab among children. I could never sell my soul, even for so much cash, & even in ignorance. It made me sick when I heard of his choices. May he enjoy his filthy blood money from the authoritarian, nation-wrecking gullet.

Today I realized the Bible had something really important to say about cancel culture: "he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone".

Point is, no one who participates in this vile practice is by any means "without sin", even in the eyes of progressive culture alone.

But then again, cancel culture never was about virtue. It's not even truly about virtue signalling. It's about getting a rush of adrenaline from knowing you have power over others, deadly power than can destroy people's lives.
Like a king, in ages of old, had the power to execute anyone he pleased, so too does the woke mob want to wield a devastating power.

Woke progressives are tyrants at heart. Cancel culture is just one of the signs of that. Never forget it.
