Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

I don't think so at all. The people who are against the vaccine, at the beginning said that those vaccinated were going to die by the millions. Some of this forum said that too many people were dying already because of the vaccine months ago. A claim that is not supported by the evidence. Now the discourse has changed. Since people are not dying by the millions because of the vaccine they have moved on to saying they will die within 3-5 years.

We also have the "muh freedom" narrative, which works really well in places such as this forum, extensively populated by self-proclaimed "Libertarians". Because muh freedom is only important when it comes to my personal convenience of not having to wear a mask when shopping or not getting a flu shot. It's always freedom from government, never freedom from corporations. Best represented by the humble grocery store clerk. Fuck that guy's health if it means a mild inconvenience for me. It's his fault for being born poor and unable to find a job that would provide him with basic human dignity. It's not like our system has been deliberately designed to create a Precariat so that a handful of capitalists can exploit it. And you bootlickers will stand up in false class solidarity and defend the right of these villains to exploit the shit out of the world and its people...because hey, maybe one day...YOU will be able to do it, too! Imagine all the bitches & blow!

Besides, if Libertarians were consistent, they'd be Ancaps. If Ancaps had a soul, they'd be Actual Anarchists..

Imagine doing the opposite of what the gov tells you and calling yourself a free thinker based on that. It's fucking embarrassing. There is no plandemic. There are oligarchs exploiting your gullible pride for profit and laughing all the way to the bank (which they own).

On a BTC forum, one would expect to find people questioning all authority. But apparently not.

Normally, I would laugh this off and ignore it but this particular type of idiocy has become so pervasive, so widespread that I now have to cope with idiots talking about 1984 (which they haven't read, nor understood) on a daily basis with no end in sight.

How very communist of you, now get your hands of my money and my freedom and fuck of.

Not sure what the difference is between libertarians and "self-proclaimed" libertarians.

Contrary to anarchists, libertarians have no problem with hierarchy or authority per se, libertarians only want every single individual to have the free choice of accepting (or rejecting) that hierarchy or authority. As such, libertarianism is a way of organizing your legal system, not a way of organizing someone else's household or private life. Which means it's perfectly okay for a libertarian to have liberal or conservative or objectivist or religious - and indeed even authoritarian or anarchist - convictions, and as long as he doesn't wish to legally impose his views onto others, he remains a libertarian.

So as you see, it's a bit more complicated than calling libertarians confused anarchists, and probably a bit too difficult for someone who seems to believe not simply reading but actually understanding 1984 - 300 pages of dystopianism oh my gawd - is a dashing exploit.

And what is "freedom from corporations"?
Does it mean that only private citizens get to do business, or does it mean that only the state gets to do business? or what.
And how do we not have freedom from corporations now?
You are free to buy and sell with whomever you want, and if there happens to be a monopoly of some kind you are free to start your own business, and voila, the monopoly is gone.
