  • It’s reactionary politics? I’m not sure what else led to the rejection. It doesn’t actively hurt them to accept crypto. They just capitulated to reactionaries in their rejection, what else would I call it?

    I’m not even claiming that crypto in its current form can handle global transactional needs, but Wikipedia and Mozilla realised that it could just be an additional avenue for payments. It wasn’t hurting anyone and allowed people like me to contribute. How would you like it if you couldn’t pay for things because it upset other people’s views of what the world should be like? Because that’s what happened to me.

    Wikipedia caved to white Western imperialists’ demands which have no basis in reality and excluded large portions of the world, most of which are marginalised communities who don’t have access to the same financial systems that Westerners do.

    I’m just glad that SciHub isn’t headed by a reactionary but an actual person who cares about our rights to free and fair access to all things. And SciHub proves the need for an alternate financial system that isn’t dominated, or at least, directly controllable by vested interests of the Western financial system.



  • Again, price volatility had nothing to with Wikipedia stopping crypto donations.

    You can hate all you want, crypto is the only way I have to pay for a lot of things and it has definitely helped me more than reactionary moralists from the West living large in their oppression funded country.

    I didn’t call them woke. Hell, people would probably call me woke if they asked about my political preferences. Being woke and being a reactionary pawn are two different things.




  • There is no need for all businesses to be cooperatives. Just require that majority voting shares be held by workers in a business always. Other people can buy shares to sell if they go higher or for dividend payouts. This would secure worker ownership of a business while still allowing for markets.

    While banks should be part of the funding structure, disallowing VCs would have to mean disallowing any person from investing in anything, since that’s what VCs are, just a bunch of people getting together and putting money into things.
