I'm an ETH-head. I understand it. It makes sense. Bitcoin? Bitcoin doesn't make any sense to me. I have severe concern about its long-term security model and the community's overall lack of desire to change anything about the protocol, including its security model.

That said, I'm overall negative about crypto in general these days. VCs, corporations, institutions, politicians, etc have all seemingly co-oped crypto in a big way. There's not much about the original cypherpunk ideals that remains anymore.

I'm part of Breadchain, a project spearheaded by The Blockchain Socialist to promote and fund left-aligned crypto projects that help workers and coops, etc. But again, these days I'm getting very jaded about the trajectory of crypto.

USA funded the killing of millions in South America, Asia, and Africa in the 50s-60s. Genocide of Native Americans, Manzanar, slavery, prison slavery, nuking japan...

It's hard to pick the worst.

Usually, my attempts to use it are either thwarted by issues installing, issues booting, or general problems while using it… leading to “catastrophic failure” that I can’t fix without digging into hours of research and terminal commands.

This was my experience as well ... 20 years ago. I've not had many of these issues over the past few years using any distro. I used Debian for a couple years and now I'm on Arch. Really, it just works for me...

TBH now that I think about it, I ran in to more issues with Ubuntu than just simply using Debian.

Continue blaming everybody except your out-of-touch party

It's a meaningless word that liberals and anti-communists use to try and down-punch and discredit us.

I believe Norway still has a lot of good systems to take care of its citizens.

Sure, I'm not saying welfare programs are bad, but the system is still Capitalist. We're already seeing policies being rolled back as the pendulum swings. Norway is able to afford its citizens these luxuries because of its historical exploitation and wealth. That, and because of the proximity to the Soviet Union; they feared uprising similar to what was going on there, so concessions were made. It's always concessions.

Anybody who uses the term "tankie" can safely be ignored and blocked.

but social democracy has been a good way of keeping capitalism in-check in Norway

Even though some of these concessions have been rolled back? Also, Norway, etc were able to offer these concessions by exploiting other countries.

What I am interested in learning is how society would operate and function under socialism / communism. More about the differences. Preferably from less dry sources than The Capital from Marx. Where can I learn more? Preferably a bit entertaining.

A podcast called Actually Existing Socialism is really good!

glad you enjoyed your stay!

Oh look, another liberal blaming eveybody and anybody except the traish-tier Democrat platform/candidate.

At our DSA rally, one one Zionist showed up to stir up some shit, but he left pretty quickly

I don't really believe in ethical consumption, but Penzys spices are awesome! They're such troll too, I love it!

I've had accounts shadow banned due to VPN. I've had more accounts banned from subs due to annoying mods. I'm still on reddit, but I really do prefer the non-corporate/non-VC-backed social media
