Fascism is internally inconsistent by definition. It’s all just to cause discord and confusion.

Yeah turn their godlike cult figurehead into a martyr. Let’s see how that works out in the long run.
Under this new standard, a president can go on a four-to-eight-year crime spree and then retire from public life, never to be held accountable.
Uhhh, that already happened.
I don’t understand your point… Obama won two presidential elections in a row. It would seem as though that "selling himself as a progressive convincingly worked out pretty well for him id say.
So you’re saying that the people want a progressive candidate, but the Dems would, at most, give us the option of someone who sells themselves as progressive but is an actual neo-liberal?
Oh, maybe I do get it after all. I was going to say that Gore was pretty progressive and did technically win, but that was 25 years agola
This thread is about AOC. You forgot which Democratic party figure you were supposed to be railing on in this thread.
I hope you understand that it will be reflected on your next performance review.
Do you understand how Congress functions? Do you think they’re fucking dukes and duchesses or some shit?

Big tough guy on the internet, but let’s see how you feel when Trump’s brown shirts are knocking on doors to check if you’re harboring any trans people…
I wish I was joking, but be prepared because this shit can happen fast. Then maybe you’ll think back on this election and wonder what could have happened if all you stupid motherfuckers would just shut the fuck up and vote for Biden.
“Wahhh we had four years to choose a better candidate and we did FUCKING NOTHING. Now we’re looking literal fascism in the face and we’re suddenly all concerned about who our presidential candidates are.” You know we have a whole process for this, right? It doesn’t start 5 months before the election.
It’s so fucking juvenile. We get it, you’re not going to vote. Stop spreading your cancer.
There’s enough to be upset with Biden about, the failure of his student loan forgiveness plan isn’t one of them. Even after being shot down by the Supreme Court, his administration has continued to forgive millions billions in debt through various other means.
They really have been trying to get it done. He’s not the one you should be criticizing for this…
Edit: fixed
Ohhh I love a nice paranoid scheme and murder web. Something to look forward to
I seem to recall that the anonymity of car is based on obscuring transactions through bundling
Car? Autocorrect maybe?
I’m not XMR fanboy or expert, and it is some beautiful mathematics, but wayyyyyy over my head. That said, you might be referring to “ring signatures” that I guess you could say “bundles” the transactions together but that would be far too reductive, it’s way cooler and more complicated than that.
If I recall, there was talk of possible attack vectors, so they made it even more private. I’ll let wiki explain:
The transaction outputs, or notes, of users sending Monero are obfuscated through ring signatures, which groups a sender’s outputs with other decoy outputs.[14] Encryption of transaction amounts began in 2017 with the implementation of ring confidential transactions (RingCTs).[8][15] Developers also implemented a zero-knowledge proof method, “Bulletproofs”, which guarantee a transaction occurred without revealing its value.[16] Monero recipients are protected through “stealth addresses”, addresses generated by users to receive funds, but untraceable to an owner by a network observer.[8] These privacy features are enforced on the network by default.[8]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monero#Privacy
So it looks like it was 2017 when they changed things. I know there was some discussion of switching from RingCTs to zk-SNARK (a form of “zero-knowledge proof”) which, in and of itself, is an amazing cryptographic concept. I implore you to check out the wiki on it if you have any interest in cryptography or mathematics I think it’s brilliant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof
So yeah, according to wiki, it seems as though they adopted zero-knowledge proofs… So not only ring signatures, but RingCTs (encrypted), plus ZKP, makes Monero pretty impenetrable. Which I think is cool af. As an engineer, I like seeing a typically abstract field/form of math be used in practical, real-world examples, as it doesn’t happen often.
I’m not sure I understand the question… Monero doesn’t need a “mixer,” that’s kind of the entire point. You swap your BTC (or literally anything, shoutout to godex.io) for XMR and poof, it’s gone.
Unless someone gets physical access to your wallet keys, there is no way for anyone to know where that money went, where it came from, or where it will go in the future. For all intents and purposes, it’s invisible.
I mean just because you say some pithy thing at the end doesn’t make it wrong. Nobody should still think, in 2024, that Bitcoin is in any way anonymous. If you want privacy you don’t use Bitcoin.
I guess that makes me a shill for Monero 🙄
Why the /s, that’s literally true. A clear boondoggle
Yeah this doesn’t actually happen and no you haven’t fucking seen it first hand.
Dude, Anthony Weiner? Did you skip the second half of his wiki page, or…?
If I played my hardest, I would have broken the controller.
Vote for his administration, not the man
