It sure seemed like you were attributing some kind of malicious intent to the jpeg recruiters itt. Is that not the case?

Is this an accusation of hypocrisy directed at someone ITT? This is giving me “and yet you participate in society” vibes.

It’s a personal attack at Suzzer for owning a few cruise ship stocks and he has been temp banned for it, by me. The usual suspects are outraged. Carry on.

“Recruitment” seems like a loaded word. It’s literally just some dudes talking about crypto on Discord and you’re invited to join them if you want.

You can know the intent because people told you what it was
There is no world where that is a ban worthy post. It also was directed at you for realizing that Munger’s dorm plan was obviously evil, but not realizing that the cruise ship industry is also. Which you were just cheerleading Suzzer on the other day for having a good STONKS day.
ETA: this is the post I’m referring to:

wat? This is actually the crypto thread that has been brigaded by the non-believers. Perhaps there should be a separate thread

For real, can we change it back to something like “The Crypto Thread?” the current title is misleading and passive-aggressive.

Is there some explanation as to why it’s ok for meb to use Riverman’s avatar? I don’t follow the moderation stuff so apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere. I find it extremely confusing and annoying.

Ok I guess everyone has had a chance by now to appreciate the joke. As mentioned, it is confusing.

That’s a pretty silly ban. Tone down the power trip.

Yeah apparently cruise lines are much more evil than most other corporations. I guess no one here owns Amazon?
And definitely more evil than stuff like buying an Axie Infinity NFT then leasing it out on “scholarship” to poor people in the Philippines to mine Love Potion for you all day for less than the average daily wage in the Philippines (video is teed up).
“We have a charity department for players who can’t make 120 SLPs/day.” No evil there. We’re changing the world for the better! To da moon!
Those with the capital to assemble more lucrative Axie teams have set up guilds and “scholarships” – profit-sharing systems where players are charged a percentage of their earnings. The owners’ take can reportedly go as high as 30 percent.
Rent seeking bad. Rent seeking on the blockchain? - Drake happy face.
Man, things were just settling down. C’mon, people flipping apes ITT aren’t evil.

This is an interesting point that flips the typical analysis on its head. When faced with the criticism that Bitcoin is only used for illegal activity, most of us correctly respond that Bitcoin is actually a terrible tool for eluding authorities and surveillance.
But should we be so willing to concede this? After all, “illegal activity” is a deliberately opaque term that as we’re all too familiar with in the worlds of poker, marijuana, civil asset forfeiture, and BLM protests, is as often used to strengthen the state stranglehold over its citizens as it is to prevent anything actually nefarious.
