Yeah, I think what changed my view on this is that we don't have to accept the stupidity uneducatedness of some people. We should acknowledge it and do something about it but we don't have to accept it.

Accepting something sounds to me like giving up - as if it's out of your control to do something against it. Small but important detail imo.

I came up with this difference the first time when I was talking to a friend how mandatory health insurance works in Germany.

Another related message, lol:

Imo, imagine bitcoiners are hanging out in a pool and having a great time and then some shitcoiners show up and literally shit in the pool. Are we just going to leave the pool to them now?

No, we should make them clean up and then tell them gtfo

That's how I like to think about this.

It's not as simple though, I agree :)
