I prefer making my own opinion of things. Consuming biased media will make me think a specific view is the truth, but there can be more to it

Biased media makes you think an opinion is the truth, and that’s dangerous for your critical thinking abilities

knowing trump is pissed off at many media, i’m not so sure about this

Anyways, any obviously biased media is close to useless to me

I don’t think sharing such biased media is useful

True, I should leave it instead of fighting, but I still feel like discussing can be helpful for people stumbling on those posts later. I don’t want them to believe the opposite side just because I stopped answering

It’s really easy to be manipulated into believing what people write here is true. Most people think the same thing, and it’s vastly different from reality

What?

I have run into some chill blåhaj people here

I mean I have met many chill lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear users. They’re just a pain when you talk about their specific topics. The same applies to blahaj users. The main issue is ada, the instance admin of blahaj

Who is them?

“Lemmings whose whole identity is 1920s propaganda…”

The rest of your comment doesn’t contain anything useful to the debate. If you just want to insult people, here is not the place

If you don’t have anything interesting to say, just don’t. Saying “other people are stupid so why should I listen” is just level 0 and uncalled for

Am I weird if I like to keep my socks on?

but it’s a good thing if it happened when she was your wife (if you’re exclusive ofc)

blahaj.zone basically

Turns into an authoritarian cult. You’re either completely with them or fully against them

Living with your parents while working = being rich speedrun

who else call people virgin anyways?

thinking people use it just as ‘virgin’ is either deliberately obtuse or ignorant

That’s just what people say these days, even if it’s inaccurate. They don’t care, they just want to insult and trigger. Who is the ignorant?

all I see are green flags

then you’re a pesky liberal, according to them

choose your team

exactly

I have always criticized the current system

Payment processors are just part of it. Each time similar issues arise, I’m here

The current system’s problems are not just the actions of a few. The few in question have an incredibly high market share. Crypto would fix these issues: no need for middlemen, more privacy and anonymity (for applicable cryptocurrencies), cheaper international transactions, decentralized to prevent censorship (as long as governments don’t fuck it up too much)

Not to mention your original message was about criticizing Mastercard which is a single entity, and you’re comparing that to criticizing crypto which isn’t

What isn’t essential to you could be essential to others. For many people, card payments are not essential. Emails aren’t essential. Cars or public transport aren’t essential. You’re saying something is useless based on adoption. So it is just useless until it becomes essential at an arbitrary point? So it does not prove anything

Cryptocurrency is essential to protect your online financial privacy. If you don’t care about it, that’s on you.

Let me just give it a good sniff 👃

Always good to specify, you never know

If one leaves shit stains on a chair, don’t expect them to know this

Why blame crypto instead of the specific parts of a different community? You can’t generalize a group because of the actions of a few individuals

Cryptos impact is high but not as much as many other fields, and it’s not for the love of profit, but as a necessity to protect a decentralized currency used by lots of people

Many cryptos don’t even have any environmental cost
