MrBeast videos, like i know his main audience are kids but like why? Compared to other youtubers like Niko, MrBeast is terrible.

Banks literally seize and freeze assets from people, e.g. Julian Assange.

Banks have also a track record of seizing countries international reserves like Russia, Venezuela, Iran, etc…

Yea, there is an objective value, as in the average labour needed to produce the thing but there is also the value that people perceive. The more divorced from production people are, the more the abyss between objective and perceived value grows, this is how you get cardboard pokemon cards being valued at four figures or more.

At the end of the day, marketing is more about creating a mythology around a thing than informing people about the product.

The way i see it, bitcoin is just a glorified savings fund.

The only value, as in labour put in, would be the energy spent by the hashing process but honestly considering it value its as if we considered value a person endlessly working digging a hole and then filling it back up, sure it’s energy spent but its spent in a non productive way.

People making the things they consume their whole personality, not a rare thing tbh.

sometimes it feels that there are more cryptofascists in the movement than other ideologies. luke smith is a prime example.

Let’s whack the engineer that thought this was a good idea.

lmao as if i could give a shit about petit-bourgeoisie going out of business.

the evil ccp use your data to sell you cheaper commodities, the free west use your data to restrict your rights

hey turns out our tech oligarchs are the ones spying on us and not the chinese, what a twist!

Honestly, if you can have a conversation with other language you’re already a polyglot. Going from 1 to 2 is harder than 2 to >3

Ill die on this hill but give pop_os! A try, last time i tried it it was really polished.

Agree, as a further measure It should be criminal to name stuff with “the” to begin with.

Congrats, you are a communist!

arent sitcoms basically this already

i mean people already do this thanks in part to the hyperindividualism where people build their identity through the brands they consume.

An example, i only knew about MCU latest movie because a friend i have is walking MCU ad, he couldnt stop talking about going to watch this Thunderbolts movie. In farming on one side you have guys who are john deere extremists and in the other side you got massey ferguson fundamentalists, rarely you find someone that objectively uses both.

heck people build their identities based on the car brand they drive or the console brand they play instead and thus become walking ads for the brands.

So? The US was still spying on it’s citizens and murdering people abroad at that time.

Lol i really cringed at that phrasing about “good people doing bad things”. Theyre literally fascists doing fascism to advance their interests, it really doesn’t matter if they are vegan and have dogs.
