There is no doubt he was a disturbed man. Sane folks do not set themselves on fire as a protest move. It was not sane when the Buddhist Monks did it in Vietnam, and in the intervening 50 or 60 years, it has not become any saner of a move.
With that said, he's not wrong about some things, but is wildly incoherent about others. There is no doubt that "digital currency", whether governmentally controlled or otherwise, is a huge scam. Anyone giving it much thought at all must reach that conclusion. There is no such thing as "free money" in this world, and the notion that you can somehow generate "money" out of thin air by getting yourself a few graphics cards and letting them "mine" money in a digital "blockchain" is ridiculous. What happens to your "money" in that case when the lights go out?
So he's correct in that regard, insofar as I am able to understand his manifesto. I don't have the mental horsepower to follow the entire chain of logic he sets forth for it's invention and usage, but as far as I can follow - "it's a scam" - is obvious to me on the face of it. That's why I don't tinker with crypto, and never have.
Mike Dukakis didn't have any "noble and earnest qualities". As a matter of fact, the matchup between he and King George I Bush caused me to stop voting for nearly 30 years in disgust at the non-choice presented to us. Neither of those fellas was worth the powder it would have taken to blow their noses. Both were bastards, neither worthy of a vote. Not a nickel's worth of difference between the two.
I seriously doubt Bill Clinton has the mental wherewithal to be a "criminal mastermind". He's too busy thinking with his little head to allow his big head to take over. My best guess in his case is that he rode up on Hillary's coat-tails. I'm just not willing to give him the power over me that this human torch apparently did. Other folks simply don't have any power over YOU beyond what you are willing to give them, and I try to keep mine pretty close to the vest rather than give it away to strangers.
Most of the rest of it is, to me, a babblingly incoherent mass of nonsense. My pea brain just can't follow the spider web of "connections" he makes, and I have no desire to even try. The problem with exploring spider webs is that they have spiders sitting in them, just waiting to pounce
Common sense dictates that crypto is a scam, and that "they" are leading us forward into a dictatorial regime world wide. All the details and particulars are only there to mislead and confuse us by keeping us occupied trying to figure it out, and ultimately drive us nuts as they did to this gentleman. Why bother trying to "wake up" a world that does not want to be awakened? That path only leads to madness. It's better, to my mind, to just look after yourself and yours, and let the rest find their own way. So what if it's the blind leading the blind? None of us can restore the sight of the blind, so it's probably better to just let them lead each other along while we get busy looking after our own.
None of us can "save the world". I think it's a better strategy to do what we CAN do, which is to secure our own small patch of it, within arm's reach.
Anything beyond that is someone else's look out.
