After what some have deemed the crypto "bloodbath," users on the South Korean online community DC Inside displayed their frustrations by posting profanity-laced stories and uploading images of broken items that they said resulted from their anger over the valuations.

Though the user comments and images may be amusing for some, it underscores the implications of the South Korean government's approach to cryptocurrencies, especially for those who have invested heavily in the market.

Cryptocurrency trading in South Korea is a lucrative venture. An estimated 11% of people aged 15 to 29 are unemployed in the country, and the lump-sum deposit for an apartment skyrocketed by 73% from 2007 to 2016, according to government officials.

Here's how some traders reacted:

So if South Korea has a bunch of angry, unemployed millennials trading cryptocoins all day do they also have a budding generation of fascists as well?

Who the hell wears suits just to drink and chat in their own living room?

Also it's cool that child pornography is just another point of interest to them. You can tell they've realized how bad the optics are when they start talking about just giving hentai to pedophiles, since it's just lines on a paper and therefore victimless. Although I doubt they really care all that much about sexual exploitation of children, since their entire ideology revolves around claiming the right to exploit everyone weaker than yourself.

The demographics show that the right to sexually exploit children is a demographic that will be advantageous to the alt right, therefore they are for it

Nobody said bringing about a ethnic state was going to be pleasant, I mean c'mon

Imagine how frustratingly tragic the world would look if you thought White Nationalism was the only possible vehicle through which you could save your people. Imagine pinning all of your hope on Adolf Skywalker [Richard Spencer]. I'm surprised there aren't more murders and terror attacks in the movement. Liberals are probably right, these people are a powder keg.

quote:

Dave Dictor (singer, M.D.C.): It happened on Gilman Street in Berkeley, California, in 1988. [Nazi skinheads] were charging in the club. We were able to push them outside the club. They'd come at you in different ways, with baseball bats, and they had clubs, and they had a Chevy Suburban they'd use like a tank. We literally had open clashes for an hour and a half. Nobody called the police. I was out there with about 10 or 12 people staring down at 30 people. An African-American friend of mine got his collarbone broken. I took a baseball bat and smashed the windshield. They all jumped into it and drove away. They were afraid of their vehicle getting hurt.

Brecht: I decided to let the worst Nazi of all get up on stage, and gave him the mike and let him say what he wanted to say. Of course, he wasn't very intelligent and he started sieg-heiling and saying racist nonsense or whatever. Our tour manager grabbed a drum stand and walloped him on the back of the head. Once they saw we attacked the Nazi, then everybody else started attacking his buddies out in the audience.
...

Keith Morris (frontman, Black Flag and Circle Jerks): I witnessed this thing called the Wall of Death in Trenton, New Jersey, at the City Gardens. The skinheads would line up at the back bar and lock arms and run towards the front of the stage, and if you just happened to get in their way, you'd get knocked down, you'd get kicked, you'd get trampled. I leapt off the stage and got in the face of the biggest guy—he probably would have hit me a couple of times, and I would have been in traction in the hospital. I'm ready to get pulverized. I'm ready to just be a puddle, a broken and busted blob of humanity, lying in the middle of this dance floor.

And all of a sudden it's like the trumpeteers going, "Da da da da da!" Here comes the cavalry. It's all the bouncers saying, "This thing's been going on for like six to eight months a year, we just let everybody do what they're going to do, and people get hurt and leave early and people go to their cars and drive away. We don't want them here anymore." Now I've got like six bouncers—we're the Avengers, the Hulk, and Thor and Iron Man.

Steven DiLodovico (co-author of No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes: An Oral History of the Legendary City Gardens): You know, half of the Circle Jerks are Jewish, so it's really insulting. Keith Morris is like 5-foot-2. They're not big, fighting dudes, but they just didn't give a gently caress. They weren't going to be intimidated.

Morris: When the bouncers were at my side, the skinheads' feelings were hurt, their toes had been stepped on. "Oh, woe is me! Poor little me!" At the end of the night, after everybody left, our equipment's still on stage, we're celebrating that we made it through another show, and the bouncers were laughing it off. And the owner said, "We're going to be here at least a couple of hours." I go and I crack the door open, and I look out in the parking lot, and it's all the skinheads, they're in their four or five cars, and they're driving in circles in the parking lot, waiting for us to come out. A couple hours later, they were gone.

Are we going to be stuck with the generation that’s been radicalized by 2015-17 for the rest of their lives, regardless of what happens to their larger movement and organizations?

It seems like the big wave that made groups like Vanguard has created, but these new small groups seem like they’re just the same garbage people going in a big circle.
