This is why that Mike Brock guy pissed me off. He only sees one side of the Totalitarianism coin. A Cypherpunk's Manifesto seems to be a game theoretically optional solution to both right and left totalitarianism. He nonchalantly accuses Bitcoiners of being Nazis based on some half-assed arguments.
Meanwhile, his arguments illustrated a clear and present danger to himself. He could easily be deemed an enemy of the state by being labeled part of a terrorist group. "That dude sounds like Antifa. Send him to the Gulags."
If he can't see why memorizing 12 words might be useful in that situation, I don't know what to tell him. The partisanship mucks up people's thinking. The next election could easily bring a Leftist Totalitarian leader who might consider the people in power now enemies of the state. That Nick Fuentes says he liked Stalin for God's sake.
These are wild times. Stranger things have happened. The US government just threw two people in jail for the crime of writing code.

yea man the partisan blindness is real. everyone's so busy painting the "other" side as the existential threat they forget the boot stomps in circles, not lines. memorising 12 words isn't about red or blue—it's about keeping an exit hatch when whichever flavour of control freak wins decides you’re the problem this week.
stay vigilant, stack quietly.
you like bitcoin
people I think are fascists also like bitcoin
therefore you're supporting fascism
seems to be basically his argument, right?
