This system is broken. You really think the leftists are to blame? The rich have taken everything of value. Trump knows they will revolt. It's the only path they will have left after they are left to eat cake.
It’s one of the deadly sins, and Charlie Munger has a quote on it which I can’t remember, but essentially it’s about envy being an extremely powerful motivator (in a bad way)
Right? One thing I noticed is how they are adamant to bring everyone to their terms. It’s not enough for them to hold their own values/beliefs but YOU MUST as well. I used to live in Idaho, (traditional red state) and leftists from the coast/CA flooded in like a crusade. They wanted to change the politics immediately because it was “broken”. This is such a fucked mindset. I would never move to San Fran and think I could push conservative values on people, and have a sense of belief that they will “see it my way because I’m better.” This is how leftists think it works wherever they go. They cannot live and let live, you must bow to their self righteousness.
😳🫣
This could be a very interesting and illuminating way to understand the world
Who, I do wonder, is (or should be) the benevolent despot of who gets or doesn’t get to own what in space?
🧐
they can only function by censorship/cancellation because they can't even make an argument for their own ideology or cope with their own failings, admit them, or learn from them
it's not new. It's just that they are so loud now. the Internet makes them bolder and louder. they had less voice before they got online.
they are afraid of difference.
nah, she's good
people he described exist regardless of politics. they're called losers.
Yeah but leftism is what happens when the losers organize politically
That’s how fiat works. The post above is how leftism works.
agree. and the globalists are the rich losers.
The fiat system is broken. It's based on theft. Bitcoin is a new system. It's in the title of the White Paper, Bitcoin: A Peer-To-Peer Electronic Cash System.
You can just exit "The System."
100%
You can see the envy in the post. Bitcoin has no need for envy. The more sats Saylor buys, the richer I get. I think that's why the left has a hard time with it. It goes against all their propaganda.
Also they can't build things, all they can do is destroy them (and do mental gymnastics to explain how its actually a good thing)
I can hear the crunch of leftists ego while reading that tweet
What platform is this from?
That archetype exists, I've seen it. But lumping the entire left into one bucket is wrong. My wife is left, brilliant and not in the slightest envious or vindictive.
Don't waste energy on HODL while you have such an awesome wife. Guy has me muted for telling the truth too much
Well said
There are exceptions to every rule. He wasn’t speaking about your wife haha. I’m sure she’s also beautiful.
The cult of mediocrity!
I believe this also happens due to the previous elites appointing their second in command someone who's bright enough to do what they want but not so bright as to pose a threat to them.
A couple of iterations later you end up with idiots in charge.
I've seen this time and again in private institutions with supposedly meritocratic principles....
Maybe your wife’s an exception, but let’s be honest, the modern left is defined by bitterness, envy, and a pathological need to tear down anything successful or beautiful. It’s not fringe, its mainstream. Pretending otherwise is either denial or willful blindness.
100%
All good.
Just felt compelled to introduce some nuance into the leftie narrative.
🙏
No idea, I pay zero attention, not arguing.
She's taken a special interest in oppression. One of the mechanisms of true oppression is to find a divide in society, polarise it, and have either side opress each other.
Hegelian dialectics. In the spiral of history we are back to a point one century ago when Bolsheviks made all citizens of Russia equally poor.
You also don't have a Palestine flag in your name so you're actually ignoring too much out of fear rather than knowledge
HODL won't have a substantive discussion on this, he's propagandizing. That's why he has me muted
This is simply a tax problem. This is how democracies work. They vote to give money to the rich. The evidence is clear. There is no reason that bitcoin fixes wealth concentration. It is a one time redistribution of wealth. You'll have the exact same problems if wealth is allowed to concentrate. Eventually, the people revolt and you get either a dictator or pure spcialism. Wouldn't it be better to just fix the tax system?
The top ten percent have $114 trillion in wealth. Ten percent of that is $33,000 per person in the USA. 30% pays off every cent of debt.
Tax system is the problem, financially. Fix that. The other stuff is just idealogical differences. This shift in wealth is unsustainable. It will end in revolution.
Envy? I'm in that ten percent.
I own bitcoin (drive 2014 with gbtc, then mined in 2017),, hundreds of shares of mstr (first buy 8/2020), mara, iren, gld. I know how to invest.
Yes, money is broken but we broke it and we are still doing so. Why not stop?
Bitcoin just redistributes wealth. It doesn't fix the system without a huge loss pf life, capital, and likely freedoms.
Period are naive to think NGU means everything is fixed.
NGU doesn't fix a thing except your net worth. Plebes will never buy bitcoin until it's too late to matter.
They still revolt, eventually.
Your post shows real ignorance.
I’d only add to that that the old right vs left wing ideologies are losing validity. It’s now more simple : right vs wrong.
For me, “right” = freedom, self-sovereign, independent from govt overreach (that’s why I love btc). “Wrong” = authoritarian, govt fucks who want to control everything. Example: Christine Lagarde.
Not even sure if this is accurate, because most leftists organize themselves in clear hierarchies with the worst retards on top
True but they all pretend as if there is no hierarchy whereas conservatives are open about their being a hierarchy.
Leftists: there is no hierarchy, we’re all in this together. I’m speaking for all of us.
Conservatives: there is a hierarchy and if you do as I do you can climb to the top like me.
Both are true from a certain perspective. Both are lies from a certain perspective.
Left, right and centre are all the same. If you're not a sovereign individual, you are part of the herd... who cares what the herd political tendencies are... for sure I can tell you that Bitcoin does not care!
It could be done, but people are too greedy, now.
