GM, Whitney Webb is a doomer whose schtick is spreading despair. She wouldn't recognize hope if she ran into it.

What did Whitney do now
I'm really glad to hear someone else think this as well.
💯 🎯
Yea I agree. I like her work but listening to the doom cynicism is depressing
Thx. I wondered why I couldn’t get through a full interview. Toggle signal->noise.
Its because youre not smart enough 🤣 she IS the signal. Unless you just wanted to masturbate to the SBR lol
GM Jimmy, do you see any merit in her work? It does paint the CBDC social credit dystopia with prime sources pretty well.
Can she be a blackpiller (usually spreading “doom” and not taking the W’s along the way) and have good content in terms of who & how, even if the what is sometimes off…?
Shes a necessary antidote for the relentless hopium losers like OP need to survive. She talks the other side when nobody else is doing it. Shes actually based in reality
I see somewhere in between these lines. Largely agree with you though, I just wish her content was solution focused with her conclusions.
I think her work IS the solution. Knowledge is power and all that
😉
I’m not saying any political party is the solution. And I know she’s pro Bitcoin, but weary of the Bitcoin dollar, and rightly so.
But her content is doom “this is what they’re doing” < “this is how we will be a them”
“This is how they will do it anyway” < “this is why it won’t matter”.
I’m not saying her type of content is not needed, nor that she’s wrong (generally, great prime sources), I’m just saying *I think* if her format was tailored, she’d have better reach and reception. Not that it matters, or that I’m trying to stifle dissent, nor discredits her work, just my two sats.
So its not enough that she illuminates the issues nobody else is willing to, she needs to single handedly SOLVE them too?! So much for bitcoiners being self sufficient lol. Everybody complains how she doesnt solve all the worlds issues all by herself, it makes no sense
No, you’re twisting my words, I’m not saying *she needs* to do anything, I’m saying a solution focused format would be a better approach, as my opinion.
She knows the solutions, I know Mark, they’re both aware of Bitcoin and NOSTR, what I’m saying is a wish these were weaved in more as CTA’s, highlighting the importance of decentralized alternatives.
We have dooooozens of people doing that, it seems like you just want another echo chamber. What people other than her ARENT doing is highlighting the dangers that we will face and need to be prepared for
Yea, that’s a valid point (how many people are), I don’t think it’s an echo chamber to have that format, and in their defense, they do actually recommend these tools, just not so much in their work…
Thanks for your responses sir.
I also agree that not many people paint the ugly picture of what could be, if we don’t act. Another great point.
didn't even fight to make the US a better place to live, she just left
She does it every day, moron
GM
Sounds like youre scared of the real world lol leave the learning to the adults
She might be a spook to make us feel helpless to give up.
Spooks wouldnt say the things she does lol. Shes not some limited hangout. Its an unlimitedhangout.com 😉
She provides potentially useful insights nonetheles.
Stopped listening to her podcasts a while ago. Might get a lot of clicks but I choose an optimistic view of the world. We are winning with #bitcoin and our collective focus on preserving civil liberties!
Well by your own admission, youre NOT focused on preserving civil liberties lol. Ignorance is bliss, but dangerous
Her work is definitely interesting and I’m proud to have read most of it. I’ve learned a lot from her. She’s in her own vacuum and needs some bitcoin maxi love
This. When everything is a conspiracy or doom issue, you’ve got to question if this is now just her brand to profit off of.
What you should be questioning is how accurate what she says is. Its very. Start asking the right questions
She failed the Bitcoin test. Sounds like a run of the mill monero bro, or bcasher.
Whitney is amazing, the fights not over and she reminds us of that. There is absolutely hope, and as long as capable and intelligent people like her continue to expose the worst of human corruption, we will always have a path to victory/freedom/hope.
Certainly very cynical. But she has some valid points. I wish she provided solutions to her doom for bakance, thats all.
She stays in her lane on the Doom Highway. I don’t want her veering off onto Hope Ave.
She's the kind of person who should (and does) write books. If you want to know the finer details of how fucked things have become and how they got that way, you'll happily read a book on it. But it isn't the sort of content that a normal person can or should spend their life dwelling on.
I respect her and her work, but I choose to look at the brighter side of things.
yes, but it's not really her fault. we're all running scripts within this shared dream; some are more conscious of this than others. her role is to articulate 'conspiracy' in an intellectual form in order to herd a subset of awakening conscioisness onto a farm, where they can be managed. she's not conscious of her role and, in all liklihood, truly believes that she's helping. let's cut her some slack and work on ourselves first.
This makes absolutely zero sense
Cynical but needed
The black pill shill. She wouldn’t be popular without her “schtick”. Imagine using all that energy on proposed solutions to the issues she dooms on.
I stopped listening to her months ago. The spirit informing her reminded me of depression and hopelessness that I had struggled with. No thanks!
I really like her and her devotion but she’s obsessive and cannot see any of the good or potential in any person that has power. Ultimately, she undoes most of the positive things she does with this attitude.
Just my 2 sats
🧡👊🏻🍻
🤝
Great take.
I think another issue I took with her is that everyone she speaks about is a bad actor rather than (mostly) good actors working within broken incentives.
This deepens the hopelessness she spreads.
I AGREE

I appreciate not seeing everything with rose colored glasses, but her podcasts consistently make me feel as depressed as mainstream media.
this very much is the case, which is why I won't listen to her podcast. I do think Elon should have hired her to DOGE. Put her to work sussing out the bad stuff instead of just talking about it.
I also think she should take a moment to look at possible positive outcomes. since she's not here, maybe nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvql3tqm can get that message to her.
Maybe, but she provides good thought-provoking info. What you or she does with this information, e.g. going into a gloom & doom state, is entirely up to you or herself.
I got that same vibe a while ago watching earlier podcasts. She does great research, but seems a bit negative often. Maybe that's her part in the world.
She’s insufferable. Every interview is a web of Adderall filled delusions and 7 degrees of kevin bacon
She’s right ya know.
Well yeah that’s cause fiat ruins everything
I learned a lot about a couple of powerful families from my home town reading her stuff. She tickles my doomer bone.
