Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

stop posting goldbugs, i beg of you
Even just 5 years ago I would never have expected to see self-proclaimed Marxists posting Austrian school libertarian crap, but here we are.
Even just 5 years ago I would never have expected people on hexbear to use straw man arguments, instead of honestly engaging with what's being said, but here we are.
Look, the reason I even bother to comment in this thread is to provide some context in the hopes that people don’t get fooled by Austrian school libertarian crap.
If anyone wants to take out their life savings and invest in gold or crypto, it’s in their own right. I am just here to provide the warning.
Literally nobody is advocating any Austrian school libertarian crap. What's shocking here is that self proclaimed materialists reject the notion that commodities can be used as a store of value.
