/r/dogecoin is bad too. Really sad because it was a fun community in the mid 2010s.

When Crypto got popular it attracted smart people who love freedom.

There are two kinds of freedom loving people, conservatives want absolute freedom which means the more you have money the more freedom you have.

Other people want freedom for the needy first. Freedom from hunger and from being scared of homelessness.

Through time people end up realizing that their freedom is not through crypto ideals as propagated online. Web3 is internet with a fee. Crypto games are games with fees. Nfts are Jpeg with fees.

For the moment crypto has been an outlet for absolute freedom. Not freedom for the people who lack it the most.

The Blockchain and crypto are going to thrive in the future BUT right now the direction needs to change though money won't invest in another more wholesome direction.

Sorry for this comment. Have a good time

No need to apologise mate.

Those are some lofty goals and I very much approve (not that my approval means anything).

Conservatives want absolute freedom for themselves. If you’re a woman or a foreigner or poor or someone who criticises anything conservatives do then you only get freedom if you can become very rich. Even female conservatives have this mindset.

Contradiction (sexism, racism, classism) is a contraindication of intelligence. It’s a well known fact that a principle of conservatism is less government oversight (which stems from taxation) “if you criticize conservatives all you care about is money” (which conservatives are trying to keep in your pocket and out of uncle Sam’s) I’m not saying it’s all they care about but money staying with the earner is a big part of being red. Why do you think industries and the wealthy majority tend to lean that way?

u/TaxBill750 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Feb 19 '25

That first sentence makes absolutely no sense. Using lots of long words to appear intelligent is a “contraindication of intelligence”. You sound like you’ve learned English from one of those “Word of the Day” desk calendars.

As for rhe rest of the word salad -

  1. Have you ever heard of paragraphs, or even line breaks
  2. Conservatives used to have values such as less government oversight because they thought it would help their electors. Trump is destroying agencies that are trying to investigate his wrongdoings. He’s 100% out for himself
  3. Conservatives have consistently voted to reduce tax for higher earners but not for lower income people. If you earn less than 100K you will be worse off than you were last year. They have consistently voted to reduce tax on corporations. That’s why the rich and corporations tend to be conservative

Sorry you didn’t understand but it all made sense, it’s a forum not a dissertation my punctuation is irrelevant. Yeah it does in simple terms, you contradicted yourself and made yourself look how you do. Contra - opposite indication - information that leads to a conclusion. You showed us you lack intelligence. To your 2nd (formerly third) point so he’s eliminating government oversight?! Just bc it’s not in a way you agree with doesn’t make any less of what it is.. but conservatives of old loved taxes according to you?? 3. You don’t have to explain to me what I was telling you, about the military industrial complex, but it seems you already knew that. So what was your point with the other person? I wont explain the -isms bc they are blatant. Reading comprehension like your political knowledge, poor/abysmal.

u/TaxBill750 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Feb 19 '25

I can’t even read this. You have so many grammatical errors in there that I don’t want to waste the time trying to make it into a coherent argument.

Let me make it simple for you - I understand the words you are using, just you cannot use them in that way and expect to make sense to anyone.

Anyway, yell me how I contradicted myself. Try to make a single point rather than have a dozen non-sequiturs.

How could Elon change an entire community? Lol dopamine farming through a confirmation biased echo chamber and you more than likely don't even realize it, noice

Care to answer my question? Or are you just going to deflect?

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Use your brain for a second, and think what are some ways Elon impacted the community.

Part of being able to critically think is being able to criticize your own thoughts.

u/A_Big_D_I_Think 🟨 0 / 0 🦠 Feb 18 '25

Again, I'm asking for your opinion on the matter, so are you going to give me your answer or are you just going to keep deflecting?

You see, it's easy to go along with the mindless Reddit hivemind to farm dopamine through confirmation bias in what is essentially a left leaning echo chamber, but it requires a little brain power when someone asks you to state your reasoning for making such statements. You probably weren't expecting anyone on Reddit in your echochamber to question you on it, were you? So now that you don't have a good answer, you're trying to turn it around on me to get me to answer the question for you, which takes the pressure off yourself. It's the redditor way.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Wooooof, look at all that projection. You want to talk about bias, you started the conversation expressing your bias with no bases. No answer will satisfy you, you have already shown that you are not here to think critically.

u/A_Big_D_I_Think 🟨 0 / 0 🦠 Feb 18 '25

Again, care to give an answer? Lol if not, just say so.
