Trsla has very clearly not focused on stock price and Tesla has very clearly not focused on political alignment (it has been persecuted by the Democratic & Republican parties alike in the USA)
Trsla has been one of the preeminent companies in the world at securing supply chains and is highly respected for its track record in doing so
Trsla is not Elon Musk. I have followed the technical and manufacturing aspects of electric cars fairly closely over the last 15 years. What Tesla has done has been remarkable and of profound impact and I do not use the word profound here lightly; Tesla advanced the adoption and development of EVs by 10 to 15 years.
I get that ppl don't like Elon Musk and I don't like him myself but viewing Tesla through an Elon Musk lens, as I suspect you're doing, leads to shallow analysis.
Would I buy a Tesla today? No, and I've never owned one. But for US Americans they remain the best EV choice. Finally, Tesla is not just a car company, it still has a bright future ahead of it in various sectors and none of its competitors, including BYD, are writing it off. (And no, I'm not suggesting ppl buy Tesla stock either. I don't and have never held it.)

This is a silly take; Tesla improved EV tech in many key ways right from its beginning and it remains a highly respected carmaker with Chinese car buyers and by competing Chinese manufacturers
These Chinese manufacturers are definitely out competing and out innovating Tesla in some important ways now but that's after being a long way behind for most of Tesla's existence and by learning from Tesla's pioneering efforts
Don't get me wrong; I am enthusiastically cheering on Chinese advancement of EV tech and its broad adoption but it's silly to sneer at Tesla. Toyota and GM and the other legacy manufacturers who have obstructed EV progress are the companies deserving of derision. (And who will be crushed by the Chinese EV takeover and deservedly so.)

I had an analogy (personally created) that helped me early on, but it wasn't ideological
What analogies & idealisations have you found useful (in understanding Bitcoin) ? Do they necessarily fit into, or come out of, some ideological framework ?
I'm not against analogies and idealisations per se. (Although an over applied analogy can lead one away from direct understanding in the end; all analogies should ultimately be discarded.) What I am against is ideologies being pushed onto Bitcoin which I don't think actually came out of an ideology. I think Satoshi was most interested in developing / providing a better system, a technological solution to a problem, and not in furthering an ideology.

Bitcoin is a ledger, not property
The units of account on this ledger are limited, meaning they rise in value over time as the ledger gains global recognition for its power and security. But the units of account (BTC) don't have any material reality; they are not property. Nor does anyone own them; they can only have knowledge of keys that allow them to make changes to the ledger involving the BTC accessible through those keys

* In a confederation, states remain fully sovereign and independent nations. The central body exists only at their discretion. In a federation, sovereignty is constitutionally divided between the central (federal) government and the constituent states/provinces.
* A confederation's central body has only the powers *explicitly delegated* by the states. It typically cannot make laws directly applicable to individuals within the states; it deals with the state governments. A federation's central government has significant, independent powers (often enumerated in a constitution) and can make laws directly binding on individuals throughout the federation.
The U.S. Constitution established all defining traits of a federation:
- Divided Sovereignty : Power explicitly split between federal and state governments (Articles I–III, Tenth Amendment)
- Supremacy Clause. : Federal law overrides state law (Article VI, Clause 2)
- Direct Governance : Federal laws bind individuals directly (e.g., federal taxes, crimes)
- No Right of Secession : Implied by the Constitution's permanence; explicitly affirmed in *Texas v. White* (1869)

Swiss ppl understand the crucial difference between a decentralised Confederation and a centralising Federation, as did the indigenous ppls of North America, who used confederations widely (eg the Wabanaki and Iroquois confederacies, amongst many more)
It's a pity that many US Americans today, amongst whom are USA Bitcoiners who claim to be for decentralisation, don't understand the crucial difference and, like @nprofile…l2z8, celebrate one of the key men who betrayed the young Confederation, and centralised power in the new Federation

I've seen nothing like this from people throwing around the 'freedom tech' term, including from ppl like Alex @nprofile…89xw, who is a total fraud. And this is what happens when you utilise such a vague (and I would say vapid) term as 'freedom tech' - that it's open to exploitation by frauds.

Japan was peacefully minding its own business until Commodore Perry and his black ships from the USA forced the country to open up in 1854
The USA and the UK then helped agitate inside the country for the overthrow of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Restoration of the Emperor Meiji, setting Japan on an imperialistic path. (An early example of Western backed régime change)
Imperial Japan set out to be another colonialist, extractive power, on the model of the powers that had forced it open. The existing colonialist power in the Pacific, the USA, didn't like how successful it was at doing this, and choked its supply lines of vital resources, leading to war.
This is not to absolve Japan of its war crimes in the first half of the 20th century, particularly against the Chinese and Koreans. My point is that it all started with the forceful intrusion of the USA into the country and Japan will not fully heal until the USA has been thrown out by a Japan that has properly mended its relations with China and other near neighbours
