The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

The crypto currency push is at least in part being sold as a hedge against the hyperinflation predicted by more right-leaning podcasters. The problem is that we are more likely to face a societal collapse, than Weimar Republic levels of hyperinflation, which was brought on by very specific circumstances, such as the reparations clause in the Treaty of Versailles, and if that happens, crypto currency is worse than useless...it's a completely wasted investment. Right-leaning podcasters often try to act as if they are worried about the future, but their understanding of it assumes that the power grid, computers, internet, etc. will survive intact. I wouldn't be so sure myself. Given rising global surface temperatures, not to mention the growing risk of nuclear war, and the warning signals from the Chinese and other economies, as well as the aging populations that put a serious revenue crunch on straining social welfare programs, I would be much more worried about the collapse of civilization. Growing political violence is another sign of this imminent threat.
Crypto currency dependent upon the infamously unreliable Texas power grid?
*chortle*
Welp, at least ONE state won't have to worry about those "gonna be a Revolution!" militia whackadoodles.

Frankly, I've always been skeptical of crypto. It just sounded like a flash in the pan, and when I worked for a certain retail electronics chain, I saw how much it burned out computer parts just for mining. It was insane how badly people went through motherboards, just on Bitcoin. It got to where we wouldn't take back motherboards and video/graphics cards for a while there, it was that bad. Crypto mining used up an insane amount of energy and computer hardware as well as software. Also, crypto is heavily linked to the Dark Web, which is rife with criminal activity....cough, cough, human trafficking, cough, cough.

I'll be honest, one of the most frightening things about Vance is his self-description of being "postliberal." Okay, now, that's not a good look, dude. Abandoning the classical liberalism of the rule of law, representative government, constitutionalism, civil liberties, human rights, basic human dignity, due process, etc. is essentially a recipe for tyranny. How can you even claim to be for "liberty" if you reject those things? Civic nationalism is also under assault as a principle and an alternative to ethno-nationalism. Anyone trying to rip out "birthright citizenship" is arguably trying to trade civic nationalism in for ethno-nationalism. Either all Americans are Americans or they aren't.
 
Friendly reminder that Reality Winner went to prison to expose foreign interference in our elections, and still has a criminal record. Plenty of other people got no prison for much more serious acts.
 
Any Presidential candidate who openly advocates a police-instigated bloodbath is just plain insane....criminally so. That is not the correct function of law enforcement. If I were a cop, I would be especially insulted by even the suggestion that I engage in such behavior, as if that was even a consideration. A policeman is ultimately a civil servant, albeit with the authority to use force, both lethal and non-violent, in an official capacity. A Purge? Has this guy been watching the films and missing the point? That wouldn't surprise me at all.
 
Dumb ass trump forgets he waited two weeks to send help to North Carolina when he was pretending to be President.
