MSNBC has been rated not nearly as far left as you on the right think they are by numerous independent fact checking and bias checking agencies. I watch MSNBC almost daily but here's the difference between us and you on the right when you guys watch fox or Newsmax or OAN. We realize we are getting a little bit of a left leaning bias on the news. You guys think you're getting the factual news without any bias. If you want middle ground unbiased news check out Al Jazeera America (don't let the Arabic scare you, you can stream it on YouTube for free live in English), and PBS newshour is actually really independent as well. The issue is you guys believe anything that doesn't tell you what you want to hear and what you agree with is "liberal bias" to you.

- that’s about as far as I needed to read 🤡
Both sides believe this about the other which is sad. "We" are mostly right and when "we" are not right we are aware of our wrongness. This is false 100% of the time by all political groups across the political spectrum across all of human history.
Everyone has blind spots. To claim not to is the ultimate self-delusion. If you claim to have no blind spots this is simply 100% proof you do.
The only rational way to win this political game is not to play. This is why we have Bitcoin. When voice has failed we can exit and not play fiat games.

But that viewpoint is privileged, by not being involved in politics you are saying it doesn't affect you so you don't care. That is your privilege showing. When there are groups and politicians trying to take rights away from people based on their sexuality, skin color, gender and other factors, sitting by and not being involved just shows a huge amount of privilege. You're giving those groups a big middle finger by not being involved. This is what I can't stand about most of you Bitcoin maxi's. You think because you have Bitcoin nothing else matters and no one else matters. Satoshi wasn't selfish like this, you guys shouldn't be either.

Bitcoin only works because of being selfish. Self-interest is human nature, in fact it is the nature of every living being.
“Groups” don’t matter, nor does “privilege”. Only the individual matters. Bitcoin will destroy the welfare state and with it, politics, and the psychopaths that are drawn to it.
Politics affects me, every day I am stolen from, lied to, and coerced. There is no changing it - the only way is to opt out and unplug from the matrix. Be healthy and live long enough to see the nation-state relegated to the dustbin of history.

Satoshi wasn't selfish. He was selfless by giving us Bitcoin. This is exactly why he disappeared because he knew Bitcoin would turn people into exactly what you are. He wanted nothing to do with you and your cult like views that many of you Bitcoin maxis have. Maybe you should live like Satoshi did, selflessly. You're just as bad as the Christians that claim to follow Christ yet live their lives in a way that completely goes against everything he taught.
