I prefer making my own opinion of things. Consuming biased media will make me think a specific view is the truth, but there can be more to it

Biased media makes you think an opinion is the truth, and that’s dangerous for your critical thinking abilities

When did I do so exactly? Criticizing anti-facists doesn’t mean defending fascists

fascists can go fuck themselves

knowing trump is pissed off at many media, i’m not so sure about this

Anyways, any obviously biased media is close to useless to me

The same ambiguity does not exist for anti-fascist.

You would be surprised (or not) to learn that this is false

except that an “anti-fascist” doesn’t just mean “I don’t like fascism”

so, no.

I don’t think sharing such biased media is useful

Who is them?

“Lemmings whose whole identity is 1920s propaganda…”

The rest of your comment doesn’t contain anything useful to the debate. If you just want to insult people, here is not the place

If you don’t have anything interesting to say, just don’t. Saying “other people are stupid so why should I listen” is just level 0 and uncalled for

then you’re a pesky liberal, according to them

exactly

I have always criticized the current system

Payment processors are just part of it. Each time similar issues arise, I’m here

The current system’s problems are not just the actions of a few. The few in question have an incredibly high market share. Crypto would fix these issues: no need for middlemen, more privacy and anonymity (for applicable cryptocurrencies), cheaper international transactions, decentralized to prevent censorship (as long as governments don’t fuck it up too much)

Not to mention your original message was about criticizing Mastercard which is a single entity, and you’re comparing that to criticizing crypto which isn’t

What isn’t essential to you could be essential to others. For many people, card payments are not essential. Emails aren’t essential. Cars or public transport aren’t essential. You’re saying something is useless based on adoption. So it is just useless until it becomes essential at an arbitrary point? So it does not prove anything

Cryptocurrency is essential to protect your online financial privacy. If you don’t care about it, that’s on you.

Let me just give it a good sniff 👃

Always good to specify, you never know

If one leaves shit stains on a chair, don’t expect them to know this

Why blame crypto instead of the specific parts of a different community? You can’t generalize a group because of the actions of a few individuals

Cryptos impact is high but not as much as many other fields, and it’s not for the love of profit, but as a necessity to protect a decentralized currency used by lots of people

Many cryptos don’t even have any environmental cost

Good thing I do not live in the USA

They can’t stop us all. Fuck surveilance

Voting for a few people will never let you truly speak for what you want. That’s particularly the case when the voting system has problems like clearly being in favor of wealthy people

Or when you want to change the economical system entirely, things like that

When official agencies lie to the people, there’s not much you can do

Only violence really works, sadly

Rincing vigenar might be useful so the chair doesn’t smell equally bad again

Like people smoking in public?

This, but hating on crypto is trendy

And then people associate crypto with scam even if that’s incorrect because they don’t know better

So it’s a people problem?
