The system is never going to crack down on its bootlickers though. This narrative has always been and always will just be a cope.

It's reality which cracks down on bootlickers in the end.

People who break the rules succeed over people who don't in both respectable and disreputable society.

[–]Markimus 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Except they don't. Those who succeed are those who either a) have power, or b) work in accordance with those who have power. In both 'respectable' and 'disreputable' society.

The reason the Mexican cartels are continuing the drug trade is because they, like the 'Italian' mafia, are controlled by jews who have power. It has nothing to do with breaking the rules and everything to do with being on the side of people who are powerful.

Nope.

No point living your life planning to fail. Stop making excuses.

Rabbit-holed in Corporatocracy, the 1% win.

[–]jet199Instigatrix 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You realise 1% is one in every 100 people, right?

So that's 1 or 2 people in your year at school.

It is just a shorthand

I think about this quote just basically all the time now.

If anyone ever asks you why cryptocurrency should be a thing, this is a prime example.

That's a great point and crypto is poppin today. I guess I should appreciate Trudeau is making me money.

They can shut down your crypto... There's only a couple of truly anonymous cryptocurrencies and they are not Bitcoin or any of the ones that are very popular right now. Whatever you sign up to buy crypto and all that personal information you give them... Trust me you're not buying and selling crypto in secret they can shut you down

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Who's crypto got shut down? Seems like empty FUD. Now they can track it all, that's different.

[–]Chipit 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah, that sounds great. You know what governments in Turkey and Venezuela have already done? Their currencies are collapsing, so they outlawed the possession of cryptocurrency. The central bankers are making sure that everyone but themselves bears the brunt of the pain. They also outlawed possession of foreign currency: no changing your money to escape! Maybe you think you'll buy things with your soon to be worthless money in order to avoid the collapse? Bzzt wrong that's 'hoarding" which is also a crime.

Man, people think that tyrannical governments are dumb. They're not, they're exactly aware of just how evil they are and they are completely shameless about it. Like all evil is.

There's a reason companies like Blackrock are pumping their money into property right now.

[–]Ehhhhhh 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Why? Have you not seen where they can track that? Are you an idiot or a shill?

[–]jet199Instigatrix 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

With crypto people turn into shills without the need to pay them because they just want their investment to go up.

Crypto is a gun to the internet's head. The internet is Palantir. I wonder if TPTB will ever sacrifice that tool.

Oh; stop it.

The only condition under which:
1. A "store of value" that fluctuates daily in double-digit percentages, dependent on the pronouncements of goofballs like Elon Musk, the Fed/Treasury and r/wallstreetbets.
2. A 'way around the government' that totally depends upon the presence of the government-monopoly Internet.
3. A world-famous energy glutton whose 'mining activities' exceed some whole countries, and worse, uses over three weeks' worth of the average US household's electricity supply for each and every "blockchain transaction", according to Digiconomist. source

... is viable, is in some fantasy fiction.

burn, loot and murder

Legitimate free speech!

honk a truck horn

Put a boot in their kidney!

If the left didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

[–]Chipit 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's actually not double standards. They really do believe that there should be one standard for themselves and one for everyone else. No, really. They believe wholeheartedly that they are SO righteous, SO moral, that if you disagree with them, that you are in turn immoral and deserve to be punished. If you disagree with them and they are SO moral, then you must be evil.

Liberalism is different from leftism. Liberalism believes in free speech. Leftism only believes in free speech for itself.

Hoping everyone is stocked up. Remember, if you wonder if you need more ammo, the answer is always ‘Yes.’

[–]Chipit 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ammo gets consumed in frightening amounts in any real fight.

That guy that wants to kick him in the kidney you can send him over to me.

[–]Trajan 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Don't risk it. I took a look at that guy and he's bad news. He appears to spend much of his time visiting conventions, taking photos of ladies in costume. Each photo he lists on Tumblr is accompanied by complains about his health, mental and physical, and some e-begging.

Don't go alone. I suspect he may also possess virginity-based powers.

This is simply what progressives are.
