Progressivism and the principles that guided the creation of Bitcoin are antithetical.
There is a reason the statist parasites hate Bitcoin. There is a reason these "progressive" politicians dont "represent" this guy 👇.
Bitcoin (if used as the hardest money ever invented) would prevent the state from pursuing "progressive" policies of nannying everyone from cradle to grave, carrying out black budget projects by stealing AND creating (and then promptly losing or setting on fire) gazillions of dollars, perpetuating cronyism, supporting the child sex trafficking markets, polluting endless ecosystems, toppling nations, performing secret experiments on its citizens, massacring populations, quagmiring civilization in dirty energies, indoctrinating and poisoning generations into stupidity and slavery.... And all the other great "progressive" things the state has done..
A politically progressive bitcoiner is like an abusive Mother Teresa.
Please take the Aristotelian approach. Allow Bitcoin to radicalize you.
Much love

After Thursday’s presidential debate, I have a tough time relating to or wanting to be a part of any politics. I’ve been feeling this for quite some time and haven’t really supported any political candidate from either party since 2016. I sure as hell won’t support Donal Trump, I’d like Biden to step down, the DNC is corrupt, and the progressive wing of the Democratic Party is a laughable sideshow that’s ineffective and grasping for relevance.
I am left leaning ideologically and politically, and obviously while I’m feeling this and running TPBPod (npub1fpc…4sld) I can have mixed feelings about the title/brand. Can the progressive bitcoiner take on and be an identity of its own, calling those to embrace a new “progressive,” forward thinking view with Bitcoin? I don’t know, but many on the left are still absolutely repulsed by bitcoin and closed off based on tribal, group think. It’s disappointing to say the least. Is the title or risk of distraction worth it, considering the normie left isn’t tuning in as I desired anyway?
Bitcoin is millions of miles above this silly politicking and left/right divide. It is so much bigger, and more important, than all of this. My hope with the pod is that it has presented diverse content and helped people feel seen and heard that don’t typically resonate with the right/libertarian dominate crowd in bitcoin, not to divide.
My feelings on all of this may lead to a rebrand of the pod (removing political labels). It may not. I want to be very intentional either way, and my focus remains the same of wanting to highlight what I think are the most import things in bitcoin: human rights, mining and the environment, social justice, basic tech understandings, Bitcoin for everyone and global freedom money, etc.
