 over-educated activists like Ida Bae Wells politicizing sciences is a loss to us all.

 the opinionmaking class is angry at crypto: crypto didn't bow down to central management of economy.
there's even a spicy accusation to boot. Image

 "cashless society" is a trap: you are at mercy of both domestic and foreign governments.

cash is king for where you can use it. for long distance or electronic use, a decentralized cryptocurrency is better than "cashless" - centralized banking.

 good thread, let's take some notes

 peace requires honest understanding the circumstances leading to the invasion; otherwise any attempted solution would only obscure the conflict & the tensions. i'm going with "Russia is ultimately in the wrong here", btw.

 calling out this bad take.

 reject the false dichotomy of "with us or against us". don't accept GW Bush ultimatum - chart your moral path, alongside those that are natural friends and allies to you.

don't make yourself a vasal to one of two global empires.
3/
 "sided with GAE" - whatever happens in Ukraine, it will not weaken the dreaded GAE. Putin is not a great savior here; his impact on domestic politics and *culture* in the west is limited. taking sides in foreign war doesn't fix our own domestic culture-politics.

it goes some way towards explaining the motivation & possible endgames for the invasion.

 we here don't get to hear much of it, but there's all-encroaching panslavism that's been astroturfed in Russia since times immemorial, as figleaf for imperialism. you notice it when you get to know people from cultures aligned with Moscow - like Belarus.
