What are the political opinions you have in mind? (that could cause USSR-2 to happen?)
And what were/are the different opinions of (some) employees at Coninbase that triggered this whole thing in the first place?
> pushing the society we were escaping to into the society we were running away from
This is too abstract for me. Would it be weird if I asked for concrete examples? (of how society is getting pushed in a bad direction)
- nickpp 6y agoSome current trends that remind me of the horrors we lived before 1990 in Eastern Europe: 1. Blind worship of "equality" 2. Control and censure of language, communication and media 3. Demonization of money, successful people and corporations 4. Politicization of workplace and professional activities 5. Politicization of schools and academia 6. Polarization between "right" thinking and "evil/unacceptable/deplorable" people 7. Politically connected minorities overwriting democracy 8. Ceding more and more power and responsibility to governments from individuals and NGOs 9. Governmental intrusion in more and more aspects of our lives 10. More and more rules and regulations in our everyday lives in the name of stopping evil/wrong elements 11. Fall of meritocracy 12. Wishful thinking ignoring evidence of reality 13. Using guilt for historical misdeeds done by forefathers to silence contemporary groups I could go on, but I think this is a sufficient sample.
