I still do not understand the progressive case for bitcoin.

Every argument seems to start with "Hey if we weren't complete shit about how we treat each other..."

IF WE WERENT COMPLETE SHIT WHY WOULD WE NEED TRUSTLESS MONEY

From my very limited understanding, it's about reframing b/tcoin outside of a libertarian / ancap argument. Or something?

The masses don’t matter. Don’t dilute the signal for them. Focus on the Remnant.

They are like oil and water for Bitcoin but they don’t want to hear it because they insist on taking over every space and impressing their worldview on to it.

I understated this at a deep level. I have personally been crowded out of a subculture die to the fact that too many people became cowed by the progressive tendency to assume their priorities supercede any stated agenda.

It is religious in its imperative to dominate all subjects of onversation. It is like being in a theocracy where all conversations must be vetted ans filtered through one particular value system.

Progressivism is like the ETF of ideology - you don’t have to think *at all*, you just have to consume the whole basket of opinions and make them your worldview.

I’ve said it before - we shouldn’t live in the same societies as these people. They’re incompatible with anyone who wants to form their own opinions or live their own lives because will shove their ideology down your neck in the name of tolerance.

All this angst and division would stop if we actually divided and let them have their utopia but made them pay for it themselves.

Progressive arguments are entirely based on controling other people's behaviour.
