oh so, as long as Hamas just kills random Israeli, it's fine? or is this only apply when the targets of the random killings are white Judeo-Christians?

isn't that what the literal Nazis are saying about Dresden?

my god, like, could you stop using the genocide logic to do this shit? you see "the people in Gaza deserve to be targets of a genocide because they didn't rise up against Hamas"

well, I think he meant: Per aspera ad astra

just remember that almost all older languages had fewer nouns and verbs, so "thorns" here is referring to difficulty and obstruction

so more meaningfully translated, this old Latin saying is closer to "through great treachery is the path to the stars"

since Disney build their parks on a literal man made hill, they will take the time to declare independence

Disney parks aren't even at ground level, they literally sit atop a massive hill as the entire infrastructure of the park is hidden on the first story

dude current projections out Miami basically a whole story underwater in 25 years, and these may even be too conservative as we have recently learned and they need to be reajusted

seeing as everyone starved before the advent of capital... oh wait

The reason we don't have famines isn't because of money, it's because of one Jew's patriotism to what he saw as his German fatherland.

The reason we have the internet is due to an organization need in warfare, not a profit motive.

The reason we have modern medicine was because people wanted to help other, even if they went broke to do it, sometimes even being outcast from society.

The reason the Nazis were stopped was not because it made a lot of profit, but in spite of it.

do not conflate the achievements of modernity with the inherent economic system you ascribe to.

dude you can totally ban it, it's not even difficult, you just don't let them suck up infinite power

yup, tho they also serve more people than crypto bros, about 100,000 times as many

hey, most of the crypto fans are all temporarily embarrassed billionaire libertarians anyway, so the bottom 99.5% can all eat shit and die

no, the US dollar is backed by the fact that you can use it to pay your taxes to the US government, and interact with the US government in general, quite literally backed by more than crypto.

and I hate to break it to you, but all currency, ever, is fiat.

all that gold standard stuff? you just abstracted the fiat nature from the money to the metal, there was never any actual basis for the value of gold outside its value, and there are plenty of more sparse metals that people don't value as highly

nah the power use numbers you gave are not on an extreme scale, the point of how the bitcoin and most cryptos work is designed to keep using more and more power

no, it is exorbitantly higher for a single crypto transaction

no, that's the magic of speculative market financing

already exists, armed with variety of lethal and non-lethal defense systems, up-armoured to take on anything short of 30mmAP rounds

because the value of money isn't tied to the amount in existence, never has, even the rare metal backed gang is just extrapolating the value axiom by one

an amputation, even for medical reasons, is a mutilation

ok, but we can't just let people be underpaid because it's more than people make in, and excuse me for using this term, third world shithole that barely has water infrastructure (I'm looking at you Serbia).

strange that a lot of the antivax crowd also happens to be nazis
