You’re crazy and ignorant of history.

whats a better solution that has actually shown historically to be able to last

Are you denying that different cultures have different values, that may sometimes conflict?

so would you be against making the USA a socialist country?

I don’t have to answer your reductionist questions. Be mature and be able to discuss ideas without sperging out

Are you denying that different cultures have different values? Why do you think ethnic groups have battled so much throughout history?

Something physically existing or not is not what makes a status symbol. Are you implying something about energy consumption of blockchains? The network these are on (ethereum) no longer uses PoW mining, so the energy argument does not work here.

I didn’t say all white because I don’t believe it has to be all white, I think ethnic homogeneity allows groups to forgo a lot of issues that come from having different people with different values all amongst each other. I don’t think that should be very controversial. If you don’t believe me, go look at the most successful social policies are mostly racially homogenous. You can shut your eyes and pretend like it’s not the case but it’s not very helpful to the conversation at hand.

maybe they’re just having fun. People purchase status items all the time and no one has a problem with it. There is nothing fundamentally different between showing off your 100k monkey picture with showing off your 100k watch.

I think Norway works because its a small country that is culturally and ethnically homogenous and relies on others for military defense. It’s pretty easy to have extensive social programs in that environment but it’s not indicative of it working at scale. China is 90%+ chinese so I’m not sure China qualifies as an answer to that question.

I think the fact that the USSR is not around is evidence that perhaps socialism does not work at scale. If its unable to last how can you consider that working? People in the USSR had a very hard life due to the downfall of socialism. Can you provide me any example of socialism currently that works at scale in a multiethnic country that does not rely on others for military protection?

It’s funny how you are praising China right now despite it’s heavy capitalistic nature. I bet if china collapsed you would say that wasn’t real socialism either.

bet you thought you wrote something smart

What a dumb oversimplification disguised as a gotcha

Is there any evidence socialism can actually work at scale? What if capitalism is the best we got?

It’s not for you, that’s ok.

what are you going on about libertarianism? this group is almost certainly not libertarian, they are more hypebeast/streetwear adjacent.

it’s just a party lol who doesn’t like parties

unfunniest meme i’ve ever seen

i don't think crypto has ever been sold as "private" given how literally the entire chain is public. With that being said, there are trustless privacy protocols built on top of bitcoin and ethereum
