Classic. Though my entry to the series was via Need for Pede III: Hot Pursuit Lotsa Foots.

Looking through some of these comments and their downvotes and thinking: some need to go back to the “punk” origin of solarpunk, js.

This may be the most Dutch thing I’ve ever heard. (I’m Dutch.)

I did not say money is capitalism. But I will say creating a new currency without first abolishing capitalism will just lead to more ways to do capitalism.

Both things can be true: cash is a scam and so is crypto. The reason I despise crypto is because they just reinvented capitalism, when the old one was working just fine (in the sense that capitalism is not a broken system: it is functioning just as designed, benefiting the ruling class). So now we’ve got two ways they’re scamming us.

“The US two-party system functions like a ratchet, with the Republican Party steadily pulling public policy and permissible discourse to the right while Democrats, in seeking to acquire power by chasing the political center, serve as a mechanism that prevents policy and discourse from shifting back.”

Best description of the Dems’ role in the shifting of the Overton window.
