Looking through some of these comments and their downvotes and thinking: some need to go back to the “punk” origin of solarpunk, js.

“Wandering Boy” by Randy Newman does something like what you’re describing.

This may be the most Dutch thing I’ve ever heard. (I’m Dutch.)

I did not say money is capitalism. But I will say creating a new currency without first abolishing capitalism will just lead to more ways to do capitalism.

Both things can be true: cash is a scam and so is crypto. The reason I despise crypto is because they just reinvented capitalism, when the old one was working just fine (in the sense that capitalism is not a broken system: it is functioning just as designed, benefiting the ruling class). So now we’ve got two ways they’re scamming us.

I totally hear that now that you mention it! Similar textures.

“The US two-party system functions like a ratchet, with the Republican Party steadily pulling public policy and permissible discourse to the right while Democrats, in seeking to acquire power by chasing the political center, serve as a mechanism that prevents policy and discourse from shifting back.”

Best description of the Dems’ role in the shifting of the Overton window.
