Right. Same here. Cryptos give you the grinding feeling, because grinding is just being addicted to something that is fun. Free market is fun. Great computer games are the ones that grant you a lot of freedom right? So in an open world MMO you are basically free to do whatever you want (within some limits of course..but very very soon computer games with no limits will appear..on the blockchain even. Check out Parsec Frontiers for example)
So, the freedom makes you want to grind. What is grinding? It's hard work. And it's fun and addictive. You get that feeling with cryptos because it is exactly that. It gives you freedom and it's fun and addicting. You invest in this, you transfer that, you blog about it. Etc. Full freedom.
Anarchy does not really mean chaos. It means that people organize voluntarily. If you want someone to put out the flames if your house catches fire..you pay for firemen. Now, leftists argue that we will have shitty services that are expensive..but that's a lie. Because if people knew the thruth, their oppressive system based on violence would be compromised.
For example; This year I've spent 1000$ on private health care. In Norway we have public healthcare. But it sucks so much, and there are so long waiting lines that forget about it if you want a good chance of checking things early on etc.
So I've spent USD1000$ on MY private health this year. Do you know how much I pay on healthcare through taxation for the public system?USD10,000$. TEN times as much.
It just shows how ineffective and fucked up the welfare state is.
Public healthcare is a guarantee that all are treated identical, and the treatment will be very mediocre, not state of the art, and it will cost a lot to get that mediocre treatment.
I am familiar with the Canadian system. Completely mediocre with practices that lag 10-20 years behind state of the art in USA; but social justice warriors are happy because everyone gets the same low quality of treatment, and the government pays a lot.
Yeah. It's disgusting. I saw how my mother slowly died from peripheral vascular disease at 60 with amputations etc because of horrible treatment and wrong diagnosis for years. They couldn't even connect the dots when she got an ulcer in her foot. We did what we could to try and inform her, but she had complete faith in the doctors. "We live in the best country in the world". People honestly believe this, because we are being told that all the time. Norway has turned into a really scary country thanks to socialism.
But at least your social programs are being spent in some cases for good (??) causes. Small nation of 5 million people, same size as Atlanta, Georgia; wins more gold medals than any other country.
I suspect, like Canada, a huge social expenditure must be occurring for athletes who identify as Olympic hopefuls, so the government will support them for 4 years in their chase for a gold.
That's scary more than anything. Faith and loyalty in the wrong place is pretty much what makes practically every Shakespeare tragedy and many epics of history and the recent hit Baahubali.

In many countries that's a middle class salary.

That's CA$15,400 per person. What about those hungry kids in Africa living just few dollars a day.....
(UN)Fortunately, virtue signalling is not really about trying to make the world a better place for everyone - rather a way to make you look good in the now.
