>Regular financial infrastructure requires maybe a few weeks or months or years for a reasonably irreversible transaction.

For good reason. Crypto is speed running through the centuries of financial strife to understand why things are the way they are.

Except it doesn't.

>The US Democratic Party is pretty right wing by European standards, and arguably more right wing than the UK Conservative Party.

Any facts to back this claim? I'd say the US Democratic party is more left wing than Europe's major parties now.

Less than 20 transactions per second. Mindbogglingly slow.

Anything that stands in defiance of leftism, especially leftist identity politics is "right-wing" now. That's how far the Overton Window has shifted.

>People go along with this kind of BS because they are afraid of being labeled as communist

Do you actually know anyone for whom this is true? Afraid of being labeled communist? If you're not communist that strikes me as a crazy thing to obsess over.

See what I did there? These were legitimate fears during the Red Scare. We're similarly in another moral panic, and a lot of these terrible situations are resurrecting.

This is an example of the celebration parallax:

It's a neo-Nazi White supremacist myth that the White population is declining! It's not happening but I'm glad that it is!

No way this doesn't get [flagged] by the end of the night.
