Scooby Doo but the villain under the mask is always Wisconsicom

Because evil 👿

My deep rooted masculine insecurities make me want to take the manliest option

Donald Trump and its administration, famously known for defending China against accusations of minority persecution

Out of the sheer admiration for western civilization the people of the world wholesomely offer them resources!

Sounds fun tbh

You know fascism is running deep when the outrageous fascist dehumanises the left less than the self-proclaimed moderates

What do you mean, Ethereum is pos.

I guess I wasn't up to date. That's cool actually!

There are so many more, especially “boring” ones

Interesting! I will do more research then.

I thought the same as you about the exciting technological fundamentals before realising that it was unfortunately also very overblown.

Basically Blockchain technology is a solution in search of a problem. It was invented by someone who was convinced that decentralised currency would realise the ancap utopia. In order make it mainstream, people have been trying very hard to find better use cases and it turns out that you always end up concluding that the centralised approach is always better.

Proof of stake could make the thing not too environmentally damaging but it's been years that major blockchains are saying they will implement it the next year. And again, the use cases would remain weak in the end

There are other cryptographic mechanisms at play, which are amazingly interesting but it is not going to revolutionise the internet since it's already being used everywhere (for example asymmetrical keys).

Wow that's awesome thank you for the transcript! Since it is very long I suggest that you put it in spoiler mode so it is easier for users to scroll the comment section

Unlimited elections in the first world

I don't understand bagels actually. Why put a whole in a sandwich?? It's just worse ergonomics than a regular sandwich! I'm sure it's some capitalist shenanigans to trick people into thinking it's cool and containing more food than it actually does

I can't imagine the pain of never seeing a dollar again oh wait I can actually since my country don't use them

no man rules alone…

Stalin was the epitome of the autocracy. During the first plenary session of the 13th Central Committee he rushed at the center of the table and grabbed all the power and put it in his pockets. All party members were staring at him like "no Stalin what are you doing!!" but he kept filling his pockets until there was no power left for anybody else. His pockets were so full that he had a hard time walking. Everyone was crying because he had taken all the power and now they couldn't do anything about it. Still think Stalin is cool?

Damn I smoked a bunch of times and I never got anything remotely like that. It was neutral. But maybe it's because I always had drunk before? Or maybe it was bad weed

NKVD shows up

- Yeah my wife is right ther.. wait why are you cuffing me

Also I think young people often lack the life experiences to start thinking outside the dominant ideology. I remember being a teen and believing everything pop history told me about communism even if I had a very strong anti-establishment biais and already hated capitalism. It took meeting with maoists during uni to start questioning bourgeois myths

Much better than living in a dictatorship where societal issues are being tackled and people support the government

The two firsts are bad examples because it's just software engineering. They might build a scammy bullshit service but they might also build the interface through which we operate trains so that's not the definition of bullshit

Sexing with soldiers wives/husbands is praxis
