Hate to say it but my values don't seem to currently align with the values of core devs.

Why?
I did the math recently and a reasonable guess for the damages that Gaza owes Israel for Oct 7th is ~$30k/Gazan โ tens of billions of dollars.
All of the real estate in Gaza is probably worth less than that: that works out to be $172/mยฒ.
It'd be perfectly reasonable for Israel to just take all of Gaza in compensation and kick everyone out. Sending them all to Libya would be a very reasonable way to do this.
The Gazan population clearly has an irrational hatred of Jews, they're extremely violent, and there is no path to fixing this problem. Trying peace and diplomacy got us Oct 7th.
A perfectly valid alternative to this would be to cut all aid to Gaza and just wait for the population to starve to death. No-one owes them free food or supplies, and they can't feed themselves. They fucked up their economy through violence โ no one owes them anything to fix that.
Speaking of, you can solve a lot of problems that way: Yemen can rain missiles down on Israel and our shipping lanes in large part because western food aid is keeping 90% of their population alive. It's ridiculous that we're doing that.
Also, cutting off all this suicidal aid to people who hate us would free up money to send to Ukraine, a population actually fighting for us.

You're against the killing of innocent women and children? Yeah, you're not alone.
Who cares. If I want to hear a take on bitcoin development, sure Iโll listen to what this dude has to say.
On the subject matter of international policy, war, and genocide, I donโt give a fuck what this doofy, spelunking autist thinks or doesnโt think.
I notice a 1:1 correlation between people who want tail emissions in bitcoin and genocide. I admit my sample size is rather small.
No wonder bitcoin has a lousy reputation with normies.
Core devs are a total disgrace keeping this creep on their team ๐คฎ
It matters and you should care.
Maybe someday you'll have kids growing up in an Orwellian society and you'll have to explain to them that you just didn't care about the nazis taking over because you considered them as doofy, spelunking autists ๐ค
lol where are da values in this post I don't see dem
Mabey send your Bitcoin to Gaza?
Wait, Peter is a Nazi?
Who cares about the values of a brick mason? If the masonry is good you thank him and move on.
I also just made a post about this nonsense said by someone I considered a genius (not only in code and computer science). Instead he is a genius of bitcoin and code but a perfect Nazi supremacist idiot Zionist as far as the serious issues of our days are concerned. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
His values align with wathever CIA, or any other agency he works for, decides. So your misalignment is not surprising. Now as a simple heuristics you can assume that any btc dev staying quiet about this is probably also a spook, or just a psycho.
