No, I'm pretty sure even people in the US should be recognising this as the toxic, paranoid, prejudiced, xenophobic drivel it is. I can assure you I feel no non-American angst, nor am I attempting to instil it in others. You can't rationally claim that a certain group of people within a set border are a problem whilst also stating that geographic location is irrelevant. Unless, y'know, you're insane, which I'm not ruling out as a possibility.

Don't particularly care about this guy's sanity, but sure, he can state that "a certain group of people within a set border are a problem whilst also stating that geographic location is irrelevant." He'd be right, too

Great to read you have an IQ higher than 115 and some logic skills.

The few posters with a brain stem, prevent the thread from being turned into a disinformation campaign by those who are either of only average intelligence (thus not adroit with logic) or those intentionally disingenuous trolls. Which classification do you reckon applies to DooMAD?

Also, fun fact, not everyone in China is a communist, you stereotyping screwball.

Did he suggest that all Chinese were Communists?

DooMAD and others build strawman arguments based on claims I never made. That is the typical behavior of an idiot who isn't adroit with logic and/or a disingenuous troll.

In fact, I wrote upthread that China's ideological revolution has starved some 57 million peasants to death, because the Communist Party fucked up the mechanisms of agriculture. That means I am not implicating all the Chinese people. In fact, at least 1.5 million Chinese were executed during the 1960s purge because they refused to declare allegiance to communism.

However, it is a fact that many Chinese have a predisposition to favor top-down control. In fact one of the key members of the Chinese Bitcoin miners cartel recently admitted that in a direct quote. I don't have time to dig it up, but perhaps one of you can.

I am not blaming the problem of Bitcoin's centralization on China. The centralization is unavoidable due to the flaw in the economic design of Satoshi's profitable proof-of-work. It centralizes and eventually becomes a fiat, by-design. Satoshi (knowingly or not) designed it to do that.

It just so happens that China is a very conducive place to form an oligarchy, because the Chinese economy is largely overlorded by oligarchies. China has nearly always throughout its history had a culture of warlordism.

I don't hate Chinese people. China and Singapore are rising and will be the new financial capital of the world by 2033, taking that role away from New York and London respectively.

I am just speaking factually. Every culture+society has its attributes and we shouldn't be afraid to speak the reality.

But why? China has nationalized the means of production in the past, that's pretty much the core tenet of Communism.
Are you saying that's not a concern, or that you simply don't like the word "Communism"? I'm a bit irked by the "Fascist" bit, but Communism is pertinent, especially with China flipflopping all over the place re. legality of Bitcoin itself.

What part about corporate-fascism irked you? Do you think I am predicting a return to Nazi holocaust?

Examples of corporate fascism include for example how this absolute lie and propaganda of man-made climate change (as opposed to environmental destruction which is a scientifically unrelated issue) was foisted on the world so that for example Obama could shut down the coal electrical generation plants who are not his cronies and award carbox tax exclusions to his cronies:

But what is more interesting to me is your generation is so ideologically preoccupied. Perhaps you believe in the lie of anthropogenic global warming as well. I hate to bust your bubble but it was a propaganda constructed to put in a place a global governance and taxation system. The scientists have confirmed we are headed into a Mini Ice Age and our global temperature is modulated by the sun, nothing else. Period.

No wonder why noone takes you seriously.

I didn't take him seriously before but that quote is priceless.

Especially because after I embarrassed Gmaxwell upthread on the technical points, now I am going to embarrass you guys with some facts (but I realize your AGW religion ignores facts):

"Corporate fascism" is simply a loaded, pejorative phrase. The term "Fascism" itself is so ill-defined that it carries no meaning outside of "do.not.want," at least when used without a qualifier.

Here's what wikip has to say:
"One common definition of the term focuses on three concepts: the fascist negations of anti-liberalism, anti-communism and anti-conservatism; nationalist authoritarian goals of creating a regulated economic structure to transform social relations within a modern, self-determined culture; and a political aesthetic of romantic symbolism, mass mobilization, a positive view of violence, and promotion of masculinity, youth and charismatic leadership.[25][26][27] According to many scholars, fascismespecially once in powerhas historically attacked communism, conservatism and parliamentary liberalism, attracting support primarily from the far right.[28]

Yeah, not much there. And no one seems to agree on what it is.
