My only comment:

One of the few good ideas he had.

I won’t comment since I know little about the 1920 war. Especially since how it was glossed over in middle school by my teacher and I really need to revise my knowledge of contemporary polish history either way.

Anything of quality would be nice, and just like a school teacher: no, Wikipedia is not a good source.

And if you won’t care at all about quality, why should we?

Cite stuff then, give us what you have on him.

Quick little guide.

Also! Very cool mural!

No. Poland gained independence in 1918 after 123 years of not existing on a map by being partitioned.

The polish ruling class will tell you that the partition happened because of the foreign destroying Poland from the inside, but really our nobility has a long standing tradition of selling our country for a pack of cigarettes.

After 1918 we were an independent country of which borders were actually historically remade and we fortunately didn’t get the British treatment. And also the whole thing was a fucking mess.

Polish people were influential in creating the Soviet Union. I hate how our history is rewritten as to denounce this past in favor of the proto-fascist second polish republic. The Polish Bolsheviks are forgotten and so is the people’s army, but at least prominent figures like Feliks and Róża have made names for themselves to be internationally recognized by communists.

I do. Unfortunately Firefox for Android doesn’t yet allow you to install any add-on you like :(

So measures like these are helpful. Thanks for commenting though, it might help others.

They just take a jab at the 1% but include the 10% and… holy shit.

How can Americans accept this??? And that’s not including Hexbaristas who already hate this. Like how can a random person look at this and at best think “Welp, what you gonna do?”.

I hate what the bourgeoisie have done to the American- working class.

Something people are willing to accept for daily trade already between themselves and it’s realistic, hard cash. Otherwise if you want to really avoid the fed that bag for buying eggs you are out of luck, your choice is bartering or using teeny tiny pieces of gold. Monero would only make sense if you are performing huge transactions because of how hard it is to find a party willing to accept it. Then it’s pretty clear what you are trying to avoid also if you are performing these transactions, either taxes or the law. The latter use making Monero that tiny bit useful if there turns out an idiot stupid enough exists that would sell revolutionaries what they want for this imaginary gold.

Going back, only bartering could really make sense for normal people, I know because I’ve done so many times. Either way people and corporations (who mind you own the means of production, that’s really important here) do not even use Monero at a scale big enough for it to really be considered a serious payment method, period.

For how much I’d like it to be different it simply is not achievable for society now because of so many factors inhibiting Monero from being a sensible payment method. That’s why if a better socialist future does come, and we don’t die on nuclear flame, I’ll be one of the first to promote GNU Taler as I see it having more sense and prospects for existing. And when currency is completely abolished in a communist/anarchist society, it’s never going to make sense again.

So yeah, I’ve got nothing for a general “everything” currency that is free from central banking because it does not exist. Monero has its niche and that can be utilized, but the question I also would like to ask is:

Why is a currency disconnected from central banking necessary now, when clearly it provides no benefits to most people who have more pressing matters above them that Monero won’t fix and in fact might worsen.

I think such first shots can only be seen well in hindsight, so I hope you are mistaken too 🙃. I like our little planet and you know… Living. So this news that shit only continues to escalate does not fill me with hope. 🫠

Depends really. Many darknet transactions can only be done in Monero nowadays, so it has proven itself as a better currency than Bitcoin to the criminal underworld. But outside of that it very much is cryptobro bullshit to be avoided.

I like to tell socialists that before revolution Monero is the only tolerable crypto currency (even then it has very few uses), but after that it’s just a liability to be rid of. Hell for most liberals (except the grifters) Monero is no different to other crypto grifts and thus useless.

I also like to compare it to the slogan (paraphrasing): “The gun can only be abolished by the gun.” but they aren’t really that comparable as the two are fundamentally different. But some similarities can be taken.

I’m saving this post for the future, I very know one of my friends would love to take a look at this.

So pretty much war mongering. Guess WW3 is inevitable with people like these at the helm…

Says a lot about a person when the prime reason for not liking a company is them not delivering on the treats. I hope that is not your main reason.

Hexbear has been here since before Lemmy even had implemented activitypub. For 3 years they’ve successfully existed in their niche and will continue to do so in the future.

Not to mention that thanks to federation they’ve gained many more uses and have left a mark on the rest of the fediverse that my instance, Lemmygrad, could’ve only dreamed of!

We’re defining this space while all you are trying to do is to create a shitty Reddit knockoff. I’m sorry but your model is going to fail. You have nothing to offer to users that Reddit doesn’t have, and they will not care. The whole third party app debacle has already died down, and most simply never cared.
