Actually I feel violated.
It’s a KYC interview, not a police interrogation. I’ve always enjoyed KYC interviews; I get to talk about my business plans, or what I’m going to do with my loan, or how I ended up buying/selling stocks. It’s hard to empathize with somebody who feels “violated” by small talk.
sure but like everyone with any kind of retirement fund or whatever, or even government pension is complicit in unethical investment. Crypto is less than ideal for lots of reasons but imo the attention it gets (and weird criticism over stuff like water usage by people who drink softdrink and eat meat etc) is a symptom of it being new and primarily of interest to annoying dorks.
Capitalism makes bastards of us all, and you should defs try to do better, but people who like aren’t even doing the bare minimum of plant based diets criticising crypto uniquely are just being inconsistent.
Your position is also inconsistent. For example, coyotes have meat-based diets and are not capitalist; I think that coyotes also don’t use cryptocurrency, although I have no evidence either way. Naturalistic appeals are usually fallacies since they involve special pleading for humans in an otherwise-natural holistic existence.
That said, I upvoted you for approaching the concept of obligate capitalism, the idea that the only choices presented to humans within a capitalist society are to own capital, labor, or starve. We should be less keen to criticize each other merely for choosing to live.
Can’t hear you over carnist seathing. Take your internet points back in a futile display of pique
so, you’re a pale vegan doing crypto and investing in ai because other people eat meat?
lmao no I don’t invest in crypto or shares. I’m broke as fuck. What part of bankrupt over treating depression is difficult to understand?
What part of both are awful but criticising one more than the other is stupid and lazy implies I’m doing either?
bringing one in context of another, when they’re not related at all. also, i distrust pale vegans (who almost never realise the impact of pale veganism on other places).
Carnist seething lmao, you want to feel so good about yourself but you’re just as happy as anyone else to make someone else die screaming if it brings you a moment of pleasure. But sure hey, at least you’re not a tech bro. But then if you weren’t incapable you probably would be, if you’re unable to do something it’s not virtuous not to.
shrug i’m not a karnista, i’m not even a lawyer.
@naevaTheRat @mawhrin have you bumped your head?
Carnists pretending they have any sense of right or wrong is hilarious
this isn’t working out
