    And these are massive “crypto” platforms too, so forget any crypto-anarchist utopian ideas like assassination markets or climate insurance. They’ll let you and insider traitors bet on who the USA attacks next. Whenever someone suggests we simply regulate the very central corporate bookie, the chuds will say you don’t understand decentralization.

    The media keeps talking about this as if they’re shocked and surprised and not as though these goals weren’t all outlined before they were even elected.

    The USA is the old house in a bad neighborhood the billionaires don’t want to waste money fixing up. They’re stripping the wiring and antique fixtures and then leaving it to rot.

      At this point they’re even taking the nails while they’re still in the house though. They’re not smart people, just sociopathic ones.
