Anti-vaxxers? Really? Way to engage an argument by generalizing and politicizing with a completely irrelevant comparison.

  Is being an anti-vaxxer political? The parallel I was drawing was that anti-vaxxers don't understand vaccines and have gotten it into their heads that they are bad. The same is true of a lot of the arguments that bitcoin maximalists make, about inflation, about the central bank, about fiscal and monetary policy, about how their magic beans can save the Venezuelans.

    It was a valid comparison

    > Is being an anti-vaxxer political? In current popular fashion everything is political. But also, anti-vaxx is an obviously denigrating term that’s part of the whole liberal orthodoxy. You’re drawing very broad characterizations between disparate topics. Even the vocabulary you use is odd and one-sided. Should I call you a credit expansion maximalist?
