    The point of the comment is to point out the common misconception that the value of one [token of a currency] has anything to do with the strength of a currency. As described in the comment, the value of a singular token of a currency can be chosen arbitrarily.

    This, of course, doesn’t mean the map is factually incorrect.

    Do you see instances who’s main purpose is to represent “people inside the more mainstream American Overton window of mid right to far right” that are even nearly as popular as Hexbear?

    If you’re browsing all you frequently see posts from Hexbear users. I’m yet to come across a noticable amount of posts from users from an instance which represent the group you mentioned.

    (I couldn’t even name a single instance that fits that description, because if they exist, they’re not nearly as active as Hexbear.)

    Toxic people exist on all public instances. But on some they’re more common than on others.

    The issue with Hexbear is that their users tend to talk in a very demeaning and insulting manner. About half of the popular posts on Hexbear are about making fun of people or communities. Their political views are less of an issue; it’s more about their toxic behaviour.





  • goalpost moving […] is exactly what I got from you

    I’m not sure whether you believe to be arguing without moving goalposts. Do you want me to tell you about some goalposts you moved? (E.g. asking me to apply my statements regarding Germany to all countries, including the USA.)

    all to justify unlivable wages

    Oh, the people in Germany (whom I was talking about all along) are living just fine.

    the status quo is shit and failing far more people in the world right now than it is benefiting

    Perhaps. Good thing I never claimed the status quo to be successful in all countries.

    Can you please quote where I [made a claim about the USA]?

    Smug status quo liberals like you phrase their bad faith questions like that all the time, but just in case you will surprise me, here.

    [lots of quotes]

    I’m sorry, I don’t see where I explicitly mentioned the USA in those quotes.

    Was it “A large part of the world’s population”? (Note that it doesn’t say “the entire world’s population”.)

    You are obnoxiously ignorant of living situations outside of your own to the point that you prescribe maintaining the status quo to people you don’t know that don’t live anywhere near you do. You made the extraordinary claims, not me.

    okay

    Again, your ignorance is showing, paired once again with your arrogance.

    sure

    It is not working for most other people

    Again, I never claimed that capitalism is well implemented everywhere. I only claimed that

    it can work well without UBI
