   Soapbox is cancelled from the Fediverse. Not because I'm a TERF, but because it has a cryptocurrency donation widget.
   
   We have to destroy our enemies.

     Why? Because some random people who run lists online were mean to you?

     @alex How on earth is a donation widget “monetizing the Fediverse” or part of the “upcoming Web3 paradigm” (which strikes me as almost certainly stillborn to begin with).

     “We have to destroy our enemies.”

     Indeed, there are no longer any good faith discussions or agreements to have with them. It’s something I’ve watched steadily develop from the early 1970s in the US when I became political aware.

     @ThatWouldBeTelling @alex they're mad it's not going through central banks that can shut you down before they bitch and moan a week later when they're nuked from PayPal because they all have the IQ of a rock and say crypto bad.
     
     Look at this clown shilling other platforms beholden to payment processors and another panicking with no alternative.

     I've grown to love this quote/speach by Teddy Roosevelt. It is even more relevant today when social media gives the critic such a big microphone:
     
     
     “It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better.
     
     The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
     
     Thanks for your work on soapbox.

     I've heard it before when trying to order art commissions, left-wing artsy types are militant against it, absolutely despise it. Even Richard Stallman dislikes crypto since it could 'prevent governments from collecting taxes that are needed to make the world a better place'.

     Cause normies were psyoped into thinking it destroys the planet, so as not to be a threat to our increasingly fragile monetary system. Although, crypto degenerates didn't exactly help, with all the shitcoins and monetized jpegs.

     Trying to shut down alex for using crypto is obviously retarded, but it will eventually be regulated to the point where it will be possible to shut someone down. It’s really only useful in its current state as a fringe grey area.

     @alex @PhenomX6 @bot Bleah, “a series of tubes” when that phrase was used is not a bad analogy. Or at least I was and still describe them as pipes.

     @alex @PhenomX6 @bot @ThatWouldBeTelling Or in the future when they think the internet is a conglomerate of their favorite "apps" and Xbox live. Wanting to run for office/be in power seems to have a negative correlation with technical knowledge.

     He's an autistic NEET. Free software lets him coom to 14 year-olds online while not having to worry about being spied on. But free (as in freedom) money would rob him of his government neetbux.

     “Satoshi Nakamoto” probably remained anonymous because it was the work of glowies, and their psyop has actually been fairly successful. The cult of crypto is p large, and the members absolutely seethe and dilate if you point out the obvious flaws. One of them threatened to dox me just a few days ago over it lol.
