In a furry chat I started a while back, someone posted a hammer & sickle, or as I think of them, the "soviet swastika". I told them it was tasteless and the cause of much death and misery and I'd rather not have it in the chat. They pushed back, saying, hasn't the dollar done the same thing? Will you ban images of the dollar? And I thought about it for a moment, and I responded:
"I'm fine with that. It's well-known that debasement of the petrodollar is used to fund the military industrial complex to fight forever wars."
They weren't mad, in fact, they were impressed by my consistency.
I think many a Bitcoiner would be hard-pressed to disagree with me there, either. After all, we understand better than anyone, the dollar is not synonymous with the practice of capitalism.
In many ways, becoming a Bitcoiner lends a sense of perspective that transcends traditional politics. That said, if you want to add a new opcode to Core, things might get a little contentious.
