It seems that crypto bros have begun to raid lemmy recently, and for raid i mean that yhey just have been coming in big quantities, since the other day i was talking bad about crypto and got downvoted a lot, which is weird since i thought most people here didnt like it since the fiasco of past 3 years on crypto and blockchain, and i got a lot of comments deffending it too.

Many are coming from reddit (another communist hellhole). State worshipers hate crypto because it is a tool for freedom. It peacefully rips the power over money from state control and by extension banker control, since the bankers fully own the bloated communist state that we have in all developed nations today.

You would not believe how many cash payments in the end customer food and service industry never make it to the books.

What's next? "Save the Planet! Save Paper! Get 5% off if you don't need an invoice!"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Good to hear. It means less money going to war criminals.

Someone doesn't want to pay fees or taxes. Privacy is just a convenient excuse

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Fees are no problem, they come along with valuable services. Taxes is theft and is extracted by the use of violence then the funds are stolen, wasted, and used to commit murder.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Taxes is theft

Okay, then leave civilised society.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Forcing people to pay up at gunpoint is not very civilized. Sounds like theft to me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

enjoying the services everybody paid while not wanting to contribute is the actual theft.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Stealing from others to provide yourself with "services" is theft. I do not want the state to decide what services I need and then steal the amount they think is needed.

The vast majority of money stolen is wasted or used for evil, a tiny fraction goes to "services", which by the way are horrible.

yup, no cowardly boot lickers here

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Bro you're quite literally boot licking a corporation commiting tax theft..... Try harder or I dunno basic common sense if that fails.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea, communism is the most disgusting and degenerate ideology, I cant fathom how so many morons cling to this stupidity.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemme ask a question. Were your ancestors degenerate? How about the Bible, is the Bible degenerate? Where are we drawing these absurd moral lines.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Common sense, forcing people at gunpoint to do your will is immoral, degenerate and evil. This is what communism is about. Complete eradication of free will and only the will of the state be done.

God is the embodiment of morality, He asks us to do His will because it is the best thing for us, however He will never force you to do anything.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not at gunpoint don't be so dramatic blossom. That's not what Communism is about, that's what people who tend to screech about things they know not of tend to say and refuse to back it up in any way.. wait that dies sound familiar.

Wrong. Morality is by definition imposed by man, the Bible even says so. He does, lemme ask you a question what happens if you sin. Hell right? So how is sin = hell more moral than pay tax = don't go to jail or lose citizenship.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Communism requires all power be held by the state and none by the individual. Like property, the state would, at gunpoint, snatch all property from those who earned it.

Your interpretation of the Bible is surface level and simplistic. Sin destroys you and leads you further away from God, it is a hell worse than any imaginable. Your god is the state, this is obvious.

How would a guverment work without taxes? And if your argument is that a society works without a guverment, how would that work in regards to hospitals, firefighters, cops, social programs for the poor or homeless, etc?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The government should be extremely limited and funded by fees charged for useful services it provides, if needed a small sales tax could be instituted locally.

Rights need to be restored back to the individual so people can take care of themselves as needed in terms of defense and health care instead of sending 80% of their income to be wasted relying on some horrible and inefficient system. Once we wrangle the state back down to size people will have more than enough wealth to give to charities to help the poor.

Congratulations you just described taxation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Taxation is theft. I described voluntary payments for services rendered.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes on a societal scale that's called taxation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Taxes is not voluntary, threats of violence and violence is used to extract wealth from victims.

You have been indoctrinated that evil is OK on a "social scale". You are a pawn dupe.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Taxes are voluntary. Resign your citizenship and go stateless. It's an option right here right now but I imagine your not going to do that since society is kinda nice to have around.

Nope, reading comprehension boss. I never once said I agree, I simply stated fact and reality.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So we should have just told the slaves to resign and go master-less instead of trying to abolish slavery. After all who would pick the cotton if the slaves were not there...they were nice to have around.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bro pick a topic. What's next? A far far leap of a switch to something about Hitler I'm gunna guess, seems par for the course.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

The topic is you are indoctrinated and fighting for your own enslavement.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

on some horrible and inefficient system.

Boy, do I have news for you about private companies. Turns out government works tend to be more efficient, and less wasteful than private.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Turns out it does not. 50% of stolen money (tax revenue) is used to murder people around the world.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What companies are making those weapons and arms used in wars? Private companies, paid for with tax dollars.

Also, only 12% of the US federal budget went to the military in 2022. Social Security, Healthcare, and Welfare were all bigger parts of US federal spending, with medicare just being behind military spending.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They are not. These are communist owned, the communists running the state create war and steal money from the public then hand it over to their commie friends known as "weapons companies", you have been duped.

Wrong, US military spending is >50% of all spending. https://www.nationalpriorities.org/campaigns/military-spending-united-states/

You are living in a communist slave system.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, they are capitalist owned. if they were communist the people would own them.

And that graph is completely inaccurate. here is the budget actual from 2015:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_States_federal_budget#Outlays_by_budget_function

Notice how military spending is 631 billion out of 3.89 trillion, which is about 16%.

And the budget from 2022 had an even lower percentage of military spending:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_federal_budget

Seriously, vet your sources man, that crap you linked to is easily disproven.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (6 children)

You are looking at budget definitions, I was looking at what it actually being spent. More communist deception.

Even if your data is completely right that is still insanely too high, the communist war machine needs to be stopped!

Holy shit.. that went insane insanely fast.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

I promote hardcore freedom in hopes that we may get at least some freedom. Just like the communists, they always go for starving and murdering everyone in hopes to get at least 40-60%
