#32And Janet Yellen received millions from wall street prior to taking over the treasury department... what has that to do with anything. Nick Fuentes is despicable, but this whole article is innuendo, the title on HN included.
Which part of the headline is not supported by statements of fact from the article? The article's own headline is about 5 times too long to appear on HN so I had to abbreviate it.

#33I hope this will get attention. Just so more people will realise that bitcoin is dangerous to use and accept because it is not private. Even if youre doing nothing wrong, would you want to unintentionally receive funds linked to this?

#34The other day, I tweeted out my tin-foil-hat theory that the recent BTC runup was partly due to alt-right interests, expecting the events on the 6th to go very differently. This kind of makes me wonder even harder.
As in disrupting us and thus USD ?

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
Illegal or not who’s going to stop them when US law doesn’t apply abroad? In general the US interferes far more in foreign politics at least on a high level imo. I tend to find when there’s a US election foreign politicians refuse to comment and when it’s the other way around US politicians are full of opinions.
You're overlooking the existence of extradition treaties and the possibility of sanctions applied on persons in jurisdictions that don't have extradition treaties.
There's also the option of going after those who received the money rather than those who gave it.

#36One thing wasn't highlighted in the alleged suicide note was the line 'we must secure the existence of our people and a future for our children'.
That language should be a pretty clear indicator of where this person's politics lie, even without the 'fall of western civilization' rhetoric earlier. They always seem to use the same exact verbiage.

I spend time on gab and parler (I'm not a believer, I'm just curious). It really looks like it's people who genuinely feel Joe Biden will be the end of america. They think the stock market will crash and dollars will be useless as Biden ushers in some kind of communism. From the volume of comments on the posts, there's quite many of them. This run will probably last as long as their finances allow. I don't think it'l…
Sometimes you just gotta wonder about some people. The most pro status-quo candidate in a generation is planning to take us to the dark ages?

#39You don't typically fund peaceful protests...
People do absolutely fund peaceful protests, anything involving a large number of people has expenses. Just think of the cost of renting a stage and a sound system, or provision of water and snacks. As a rule of thumb any event with >100 people needs a budget of about $5/person.
Not an endorsement of this example of political funding.

That's truly sad. These echochambers are really the worst place for these people to spend their time backstroking through a cesspool of whatabouts and conspiracy theories. I look forward to a peaceful transition of power and hopefully these folks find other things to worry about like why cats haven't yet pushed everything off the flat edge of our Earth.
