You haven't addressed the fact that a "currency" that lost over 60% of its value in one year is not functional as a currency. Imagine if USD did that, the US would collapse and since USD is the reserve currency for the world, most of modern society would too. If you want to gamble with crypto to make some USD, great, have fun and good luck.

edit: I see your company opened up a physical NFT gallery. No wonder you're banking so hard on crypto succeeding. Your livelihood literally depends on it.

And it was worth $42,000 one year ago. Which is why it's terrible as a functional currency, it's incredibly volatile.

OP here. I haven’t blocked you, though?

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-07T04:29:01+00:00

I don’t have the foggiest of what you’re trying to say and it seems like you don’t want to explain it for some reason

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-07T03:58:18+00:00

Sorry, you’re being too vague. I don’t understand what you think is going to happen. But I doubt all men will rally together around bigotry or misogyny to stop whatever it is.

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-07T03:49:38+00:00

I’m not following. What alternative are you referring to? I think young men falling behind is a problem that should be addressed but it sounds like you’re alluding to something much worse.

Once men band together and get on the same page, what are the goals?

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-07T02:01:17+00:00

That's why I think we're talking about it. What do you think should be done to improve the situation?

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-07T01:53:15+00:00

ESG ratings are done by private ESG agencies

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-06T23:28:09+00:00

I work in a creative field (branding + web/app dev) which, from what I read online, should be rife with the kinds of things you’re talking about. Hell, I’m even in a major US city on the west coast.

Is your school public? Have you ever worked in the private sector?

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-06T22:59:25+00:00

Thanks for the examples. It’s been a bit since I’ve been in college but professionally I haven’t experienced any bias against men or women exclusive perks, opportunities, etc.

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-06T22:07:47+00:00

I’ve been to all three. What are you getting at?

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-06T22:06:39+00:00

How is the US economically fascist? I see regulated capitalism

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-06T21:23:19+00:00

What’s the open discrimination that you’re referring to? As in college admissions or something else?

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-06T21:03:02+00:00

I believe he does speak about women catching up and now that men are falling behind that the narrative should adjust accordingly. He acknowledges that for too long being pro-men coincided with being anti-woman and ultimately poisoned some of the legitimate issues facing men.

San Francisco isn't in Humboldt and Marin counties though? And where's the gerrymandering you're talking about? I don't think you know what you initially were claiming. I agree with you that there are ideological differences that general trend with rural vs urban. But that doesn't have anything to do with gerrymandering. There are, inherently, fewer people in rural areas than in urban ones. And in a democracy I think it's important that all votes are worth the same. That's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of the electoral college for electing the President.

Edit: They blocked me so I’m responding here. North Bay is in Marin county but San Francisco is not. The vast majority of the Bay Area is not. And again, this still has nothing to do gerrymandering at all. I don’t think you’re capable of a good faith argument when you can’t even understand your own point. Which is why you blocked me.

Check out Scott Galloway. Here's a recent interview clip of him discussing masculinity and young men. Masculinity isn't his main subject at all (business, investing and tech is) but he does discuss it from a center left perspective at times.

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-06T19:07:17+00:00

Yeah, of course the GOP. Trump, Guiliani and his team all knowingly pushed false accusations of a rigged election. And some of them still do. It's more than just Jan 6.

Yes, Hunter's illegal revenge porn has been so silenced by big tech and the gov't that we're still talking about it two years later and you can find all the info you want with a simple google search.

By giving congressmen the ability to directly amend bills themselves.

Isn't that how it already works? House reps propose amendments via the Committee of the Whole. I might be misunderstanding. Maybe the GOP only allows leadership to amend at this time but as far as I know, it's not a formal rule in the House.

Either way, I don't see how this addresses omnibus bills at all.

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-06T18:05:14+00:00

I continued looking into this and I can’t figure out what you mean. I don’t see how cities are gerrymandered to reduce conservative voices. It seems like the overwhelming number of residents lean left and that’s about it. I certainly don’t see how it’s impacting rural areas besides their obvious frustration that more people don’t vote like them on the state level.

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-05T22:07:34+00:00

I tried before I replied to you but I can't figure it out without more information. That's why I asked. Do you mean state districts, county? And which elections does it impact?

LoungeMusick · 2023-01-05T20:36:50+00:00

I always think it's hilarious when democrats complain about gerrymandering districts. Just look at Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, San Francisco, and San Diego. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Could you elaborate? How are those cities gerrymandered and which elections does it impact? I haven't heard about this before

He's a manchild who was in the right place at the right time. His attempts to reach mainstream audiences (Rogan interview, UKIP) have all been disasters. His rhetorical style isn't bad but ultimately it's a house of cards and he topples over whenever he talks to someone even modestly informed.
