I will write an article or a book at some point about the phenomenon that is Bitcoiners simping for authoritarians like Trump.
Just have too many thoughts I need to organize first.
Anyways, Pura Vida and happy Friday #nostr ✌🏻
Discussion
validation, at nearly any cost, plays a big part
Dude ripped off or defrauded literally every single person who ever worked or voted for him and people think he’s gonna fight for their right to keep their bitcoin— captain bonespurs on the front lines for bitcoin 😂
And all they could get him on was a filing error that will be overturned on appeal?
Can we get an example of him being an authoritarian?
Signing an executive order exonerating the American military from reporting civilian drone casualties, extrajudicially assassinating a foreign official, mass incarceration of immigrants, suppressing women's rights, promoting police brutality, attempting a coup de tat, to name a few
Be honest, how many booster shots did you take?
0, nice red herring attempt tho
You literally repeated MSM talking points with zero substance. Total absurdities, and
not authoritarianism.
Now I’m sure you took at least 1 booster
Booster?? I barely know her!!
how about tightening sanctions and putting Cuba on the state sponsors of terrorism list? and the policing of American (actual Americans, not U.S-anians) migration, separating folk from their families at the "border". did you forget he tried to set up a coup?
He praised Rodrigo Duterte, dictator of the Philippines policy of extrajudicially murdering drug dealers and jokes about the matter, even suggesting America take some pages out of this book. This is extremely fucked up. The war on drugs is evil and is the problem. It is what allows America to rampage around the world spraying chemicals on poor coca farmers, throwing people in cages for possession while at the same time the CIA trafficks drugs or the military works with Afghani drug lords whenever it suits them. Which president has ended that?
It's an interesting contradiction in Bitcoin, there's a lot of people who have benefitted greatly from our oppressive economic system and wish merely to preserve their wealth, as well as the freedom tech money fixers who wish to abolish that system
It’s really confusing, I would have really thought bitcoiners wouldn’t fall for that bullshit. He’s an obvious narcissist and only does and says what he thinks will benefit him. BTW, this is also why I don’t buy any of the liberals’ arguments that he is racist. I really don’t think he cares about race, he obviously only cares about himself and his own ego. I mean seriously, it’s not that hard to see. Nobody with any sense of authenticity, depth, philosophical thought, or any kindness in their heart would have anything to do with a guy like Trump in real life. Is he better than Biden? I mean, we’ll just get a different kind of decline with Trump. We cant keep having democrat or republican presidents that half the country hates or we’re fucked either way. Trump or Biden should be equally concerning to everyone but I think the problem is people aren’t familiar enough with history. People used to love Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, etc. as well at a certain point early in their careers.
BTW, does nobody remember Trump praising the dictator of the Philippines policy of murdering drug dealers and condoning that the populace take part? I mean come on. This alone should be enough to never vote for him. There’s nothing “pro freedom” about Trump at all. He’s just going to throw some bones to the bitcoin and crypto people and MAYBE free Ross Ulbricht bc that’s what Vivek advised him to do.
