Are the other ones also not true? And I was so invested!

truly be like that.

Don't think about dissenting even a bit, you will immediately get a ban from a community you've never been to. Big brother is watching you, comrade 🫡

Look, I just want you to know:

I think socialism is an awful system and will lead to untold suffering and pain. It is rationally an awful decision.

But I can also absolutely understand every single US-American living through this shit wanting radical change. I am aware I am writing this from a privileged Position from the Heart of Europe and my View would probably be different if I was living through the same shit as you.

I still think you should settle in the middle for social democracy, maybe something a bit more left of it, but I can understand if you get emotional and take radical decisions.

yeah, my post has definitely been ... let's say "polarizing".

Though the mods are pretty fast, which I really appreciate, given that they're only 2 and doing unpaid and probably very very ungrateful work.

should have worked?

Dang, that was fast. The transfer went from "pending" to "sent" in half a second. Makes me really optimistic about Talers future :))

But that was absolutely the same for peasants? Which then would make it accurate again to call them oppressed peasants?

Most payments in China are monthy, not weekly/bi-weekly as with in the west.

Where in "the west" do you live? My paychecks (Switzerland) are definitely monthly.

it’s ironic, you don’t have to fall into a party line when you’re not a party member yet they’re being hunted down as if they just broke the rules of centralised democracy

It's because you just broke the rules of dictatorship ;P

This is how I, as a European, feel.

But I am certain that it must feel very different if you life in Afrika, China, one of the Koreas or, since recently, the US.
