ah, okay bravo ๐Ÿ‘ I might gamble that statistics would be more on my side with those, but I think the point I'm trying to get across is still valid which is there is a lot of bad shit going on in this world that we are complicit in to some degree just by participating in society. Arguably, for example, even using the US dollar is promoting a war-fueled economy. Of course, I still use it, because the decentralized sovereign alternatives do not yet let give me the liquidity I'd like. I came to this sub looking to learn and mostly all I see are people getting angry about things they don't like in a way that is not effective. Do they have the right to do so? Sure! I also have a right to be critical of it and say this is not the learning environment I was hoping for coming from reddit. I would rather go somewhere I can have constructive conversation over positive things within our control because there's only so much time in the day and I don't spend it all on my computer.
