I see what the connection is. I did read you comment, it just didn't seem clear that there was a link. After re-reading, I get it.
I get it. But I don't know if I necessarily agree that people would ignore this side of a debate or argument. I read tonnes of stuff on here that cites this exact idea or projection for the future. Many posts on economics and politics that highlight China's strength in many areas, and the EU or US lack of prowess in them.
Sorry, I didn't read any of your previous comments relating to it. FWIW, I wouldn't dismiss the point you are making about the shift in dominance of East-West.
As far as the point relating to Bitcoiners unable to engage in debate. Sure that is a fact that many of us still have out biases. We have different experiences, knowledge sets etc.
Fair enough. Sorry I skipped over the point you were making.

It's hard to agree or disagree with the point because there are always examples of individuals within a collective who are different to the group as a whole, in many aspects.

I come as a refugee from reddit where there was a much less open and informed r/bitcoin community that seems to exist here- there I would rarely if ever see the east west issue raised (unless it was myself)... so great to hear this matter is mentioned on here and can be discussed and I look forward to seeing that and others views because while I think it is a challenging topic for Bitcoin it is also IMO a fascinating one.
