Yep. Public ideological art have a distinct historical pattern of being cringe.
When collectivists tell you that your opposition to bureaucratic, taxpayer-funded public art is an attempt to censor art, then ask them:
- Who is the dictator here deciding what the public art should be and who should produce it?
It's the bureaucratic dork *forcing* that taxpayer-funded "art" upon us.
When civilization is synonymous with regulation, then over-civilization is a state of over-regulation.
If barbarism is the bane of over-regulation, then some measure of barbarism as a medicine of non-compliance may be prescribed under times of tyranny.

Thanks. Hope you are not going broke here.
You're right. Same thing would likely happen to Monero.
The difference is if Monero *was* accepted (unlikely) they would either have to accept all Monero payments or none. They wouldn't be able to pick and choose like they could with Bitcoin and Liquid (Liquid is custodial and traceable since it doesn't hide sender/receiver it is still taintable). They wouldn't be able to peer into your full or partial balances or be able to trace them after being rejected either. Merchants also have plausible deniability that they couldn't know if the transaction was from a "dirty" source with Monero.
Let's say Monero is not allowed (likely). If they are allowing some Bitcoin transactions and rejecting others, they're likely only allowing those bitcoin transactions that "follow the rules" (taxes, regulations, KYC, approved custodians), so at that point it would make more sense to use fiat for that purchase.
At the end of the day this stuff is black market money

Yes.
Bitcoin is less likely to be rejected in the supermarket example vs Monero and there would be ways to get around tainted addresses.
Yet, at the end of the day, if a jurisduction is hell-bent on not allowing Bitcoin and Monero in supermarkets, transactions would have to move to the black market. Such supermarkets would also not accept gold
Both Bitcoin and Monero are better payment systems vs gold in a crackdown situation.
The ideal food shopping will be purchases or orders directly from farmers, for a number of reasons, food quality included.
I can see a number of reasons why farmers would *likely* prefer payments in Bitcoin over both gold and Monero. It is possible that some farmers might prefer Monero, but every extra step of barter where people have to exchange from Bitcioin to Monero and back is an additional obstacle.
Bitcoin has a benefit of being both a globally accepted store of value while simultaneously having a wide spectrum of security options, from lower to higher depending on tradeoffs.
Discussion on the blue bird with a Monero proponent:
- What if someone's Bitcoin are flagged in a supermarket and rejected?
Me: If a Bitcoin payment is rejected in a supermarket then your Monero is probably not being accepted there in the first place. You mean that they would not receive a confidential Bitcoin transaction via Liquid Network, but somehow they would love your confidential Monero transaction?
Make it make sense.
At least Bitcoin is an attractive store of value that jurisdictions will compete to attract, providing game theory pressure: jurisdictions that flag Bitcoin transactions will lose capital, skills, businesses and entrepreneurs. The same pressure does not exist for Monero.
