It's funny and sad that when people talk about their "freedom" in 2021, it's almost always some sort of madness: freedom not to get vaccinated; freedom not to wear a mask; freedom to use cryptocurrencies.
- oytis 5y agoIsn't freedom always a freedom to do something the majority won't like and/or find absurd. Most of it is really absurd, but some things pave way for the future, and it justifies tolerating the rest of it. I personally don't believe in cryptocurrency and blockchain in general, but also I must say if I believed in it 10 years ago I would be financially much better off :)

There are too many people now questioning the basic tenets of our liberal democracy. When I watched the president of the United States get thrown out of of the most popular forums to discuss politics at the same time, and then destroy the only place people with a different opinion could go to talk, it became clear to me that these companies have too much power.
