You haven't changed anything or solved any of the problems, your just adding extra steps. I think he's saying bitcoin will make communism

Seems like in the history of the world new technologies are the things that make actual large changes to social structures and the human conditions more than pretty much anything anyone just does

I read this first as meaning beer the drink and I was nodding my head at how good an example of how a technology is the only thing that really fundamentally changes human civilization since beer is seen as one of the driving forces of the agricultural revolution

Harold Fjord posted:The Wealthy are fighting about who gets to exploit particular persons and materials. which wealthy? putin is a super billionaire but the president of ukraine seems to be "owner of a used car lot" upper middle class. It seems like an invasion, not two equally matched foes being used as pawns under capitalism.

The elections are so rigged that there's no way to democratically remove Putin, militaries seem to always veer really far right these days so I assume there's no chance of a military coup, modern military technology is so overwhelming now that a "people's uprising" probably isn't possible anymore, etc. “Sanctions have no effect on rich people” always feels like it’s partially rich people propaganda
