I don't see how it fits into the leftist project, and we can't get anywhere if we have these types of anchors around our necks.

    I literally have not once defended it. I called it a grift and the same as any other evil outgrowth of finance. I am telling you your reasoning for opposition is not grounded in any materialism, which as a Marxist is where my analysis of thos comes from.

    you are extraordinarily naive if you think the US wasn't funding terrorists and the like via a billion ways before crypto. none of this is new, crypto is not special, it's the same old systems with the same guys profiting from it all but with a shiny new spin.

      Ugh I'm so sick of this. Go invest in shitcoin and lose it all. Go destroy the environment. Fuck it. I'm not going to change your mind. Just don't go around telling people that disagree with you that they're being immaterial when you're the one going around trying to topple a primary contradiction through a secondary contradiction. There's two ways of reading that and neither are good, both serve capital. I would seriously reconsider that line of thinking if you don't want to come across as a crypo-fash. Because that's exactly what you call someone who talks like a leftist while consistently acting in the best interests of capital.

        we're both queer people struggling against capitalism. don't imply I'm some kind of crypto fash here, that's really fucked up. we can disagree about how much crypto benefits them but at least presume people here are comrades you're talking to until proven otherwise

            you can go through my account if you wish. like I think you're just arguing past me. I think crypto is bad, I just think it's bad because of the same reasons capitalism is bad, not because this is some magic ploy that's especially evil. and unsurprisingly, yeah, I a queer muslim don't like being called a fascist, and have asked you to retract that because were both people who have boundaries and feelings

              "I find it extremely offensive that you are calling me a fascist and demand you retract that statement at once"

              Keep digging that hole.

                yeah, why would it be unreasonable to not want to be called the people who literally want to kill you? like I'm cool with us disagreeing about why crypto sucks, but you're going a weird direction with it
