Most people aren't like you or me - they don't have time to think deeply about these things. They navigate the world through social proof and trusted authorities. But it makes people vulnerable to social manipulation, even well-intentioned manipulation. Groups like Jednadvacet probably mean well, but they're providing a ready-made identity package: approved opinions, tribal markers, in-group boundaries.
For me, crypto was supposed to teach us to defend against this - to verify, not trust. To think independently. To resist tribal thinking. Instead, Bitcoin culture just swapped one orthodoxy for another. Central bank authorities became Bitcoin influencers. Government dogma became maximalist dogma. Same social dynamics... Most people still aren't thinking for themselves, they've just changed which tribe tells them what to believe.
