Nah, fuck that bullshit. I’m trans. If you don’t care enough about the lives of and my people to vote against transphobes, I don’t really care what happens to the rest of the country at that point. If the entire society wants to go bigot, well then you all can go straight to hell. Let democracy fall. You clearly don’t deserve it.
You just have the attention span of a goldfish. It’s not a binary choice because this isn’t just about one election. It’s not my fault you have long term memory loss.
If you’re not willing to stand up for minorities, you do not deserve democracy.
Nah. I’m trans. If the Democrats are going to abandon me and my people, then I think every queer person should just stay home and not vote at all. I will not vote for the promise of “we’ll save democracy but also liquidate trans people.” If you’re not willing to stand up for minorities, then we can all go to hell together.
Most people don’t. Having bitcoin doesn’t mean you have to be your own bank. Just that you have that option if and when the need arises. It’s not one extreme (be your own bank) or the other (reject bitcoin entirely).
Then there’s no god damn point. Bitcoin at a Bitcoin bank is just a regular bank with an incredibly, comically inefficient transaction tracking system.
Well, what do you do if someone breaks into your house and threatens to shoot you if you don’t hand over your cash, credit cards, and valuable possessions?
Cash and possessions are one thing, but that’s not how most people keep their real financial assets. A thief can steal my credit card all they want. They’re not getting much use out of it.
There is literally no better option in terms of holding and protecting your own wealth.
Crypto is the glass cannon of financial security. Yes, you optimize for a single variable…at the cost of everything else.
Crypto is good at resisting computer-based hacking and money printing, but it’s far worse than the conventional banking systems at social hacking, physical coercion, or accidental loss.
Basically, nerds love to latch onto crypto because they view it from its interesting technical properties. But they ignore the real risks to money. Banks aren’t being hacked left and right to have their funds drained. But social engineering drains accounts every day. The crypto nerds are more comfortable with computers than with people, so they focus on the computer-centered threats than the human ones.
Again. But you can’t just look at someone and know they’re not a pregnant trans man. So better force everyone to take a pregnancy test, including cis men, just in case.
Then they should force men to take pregnancy tests as well. They can’t just take your word for it that you’re not a pregnant transgender man.
Abolition.
