Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.

watching people plummet to their deaths in fear as they cling to the sides of C17s and bitcoiners still try to spin this as a use case is making me very angry

I'm trying to remember where someone posted the screed about how bitcoin was the solution to the biggest problem in cryonics. No, not "cryonics is hokum that cannot work", but "once they've frozen you, what motivation is there to thaw you out?" Their idea was to put some bitcoin in a brainwallet, so that in the far future when hyperbitcoinization has happened and there is near-perfect technology, people will want to thaw you out/resurrect you so that they can get a share of the enormous wealth that you can only be access when you are alive. So, by hodling bitcoin you will eventually overcome death itself, to be resurrected in a glorious heaven future where you will have immense power and fortune.

Remember, y'all: Not a cult.

i was gonna say that it's pretty far fetched that future citizens, when faced with an economic system where all the world's power is concentrated in the hands of few decaying liches who are dependent on those same citizens to continue living, would just keep playing along instead of revolting but then realized i'm describing current times too
