    Of course inflation is natural. Unless we are all gonna share the same $100 forever it has to happen at least without some sort of perfect foresight so the correct amount of money can be issued.

    What isn’t natural is somehow people are convinced they should be held hostage by business.

    When somehow we are convinced taking out a loan that you have to pay on for eternity (selling stock) that is not natural.

    When somehow limited resources (our time) has less value then an unlimited resource (money) that is not natural.





  • That is not true. If it’s pre 1898 it’s antique, beyond that it is classified as a destructive device and has a whole bunch of red tape. Anytime you see words $200 tax stamp it isn’t easy to get.

    And even a pre 1898 cannon is going to cost you $8k+ for a rusted out POS that will explode if you try to actually fire it.

    It’s everything from redpill misogynists to people who just support men’s rights and saying we should should direct resources to prevent male suicides is the exact same thing as saying women are property and deserve no rights or autonomy and there is no middle ground.

    It is important to understand what people are saying about this because when you hear someone say something that seems reasonable and correct but suddenly they show their extremist stance but then you dismiss that part because you don’t realize what they are saying.

    This is how all extremist groups get people on their side from Isis to Jordan Peterson to far right politics.





  • Maybe, but having a sense of community maked a big difference in keeping people engaged when communities are small and need to grow. There are certainly plenty of spaces that should be kept clean and on topic but if everything is always dry and boring you will have limited engagement and limited repeats.

    When a lurker knows how to “newfags can’t triforce”

    Or respond to “Red Leader standing by.”

    Then they see positive feedback from the community they feel like they are part of the community vs an observer and tribalism is one of the strongest features/bugs of humanity.

    This also helps keep discussions civil when you can realize the person you have having a disagreement with regarding “tensor wave field dynamics in corn flakes” isn’t just a raging dick because they used the “specific gravity of skim milk instead of whole milk like you were.”

    Edit: make to makes and mile to milk
