Fascinated by people who are convinced that literally everyone agrees with them, when they obviously hold a tiny minority position. Internet echo chambers have really done a number on some people's brains.
Tim Urban's new book -- What's Our Problem? -- is so damned good. Don't do the audiobook. The illustrations are the best.
Normally when you want to increase engagement with your product, you don't intentionally fuck with your users. But what do I know?
I am not confused as to the fact that yes, a lot of people who subscribe to these political views have a culturally conservative agenda.
I also believe a lot of people confuse individualism (which I subscribe to) with egoism (which I don't). Classical liberalism is an individualist philosophy, in that it emphasizes the importance of individual rights as the basis for organizing society.
The idea that states and governments are unreconcilable with individual rights, which is argued by anarcho-capitalists, is a bizarre post-war / anti-communist reactionary philosophy that is egoist at its core.
Every human society in the history of forever has developed social hierarchy. Liberal democracy is the best we've come up with to balance the interests of the individual with our tendency to create hierarchal power structures. Public key cryptography is not going to breed this out of our DNA.
Anybody who thinks bitcoin will tend people towards adopting libertarian and anarchist values due to economic incentives misunderstands human nature.
Although, there are future predictions I *completely* discount. Such as the belief that once most people understand bitcoin, they will embrace self-sovereign values and en masse dispense with the nation state. I consider this complete fantasy. A global thermonuclear war ending human civilization outright is a million times more likely than that outcome.
Anybody who is certain of what the future will look like is lying to themselves and others.

I mean, I very much dislike Elon and criticize him harshly. But Starlink actually works, contrary to your characterization of it as an "unworkable scam".
Acknowledging it as a footnote and only giving emphasis to a specific group reeks of a political agenda.
I do think bitcoiners fall victim to anger and outrage about the systems they are trying to challenge and replace that cause them to under and over-estimate various things. I think bitcoiners over-estimate the chances we are going to see the USD hyperinflate. They over-estimated the chances the SVB collapse was going to bring down the entire fiat banking system. They underestimate how much hard work it's going to be to 10X bitcoin adoption from here.
I'm pretty committed to doing that hard work. But I try to be very honest with myself about how hard that work is going to be. But a lot of people around here think the work is already done and we just have to wait for seven seals of the fiat apocalypse to be opened.
I mean, the Trump White House and Trump Campaign sent takedown requests to Twitter as well. This was apparently intentionally omitted from the reporting in the Twitter Files, but the existence of these requests were admitted under oath in the Congressional hearings and seen as less interesting by Taibbi and apparently others. Also, Twitter did not comply with most of these requests. Which shows me that people here were engaged in a deeply selective exercise in confirmation bias.
