    There is a fine line between valid criticism of gender roles & sexism.

    An example of the former would be, “Men are dangerous for women”. Of course not all men are dangerous, but it describes the experience of many women & how they have to navigate the world, to not be assaulted.

    This one describes the dynamic of a relationship between individuals & assigns a thought pattern to one of those individuals, based on their gender.

    Maybe I missed some nuances here & I would be glad to be enlightened, but this looks like plain sexism.


  • Imagine you have a simplified understanding of our financial system. Not necessarily wrong, but you are more on the “Money can be exchanged for goods & services”-level of understanding, then to a true finance expert, like an economist or market analyst for example.

    You read into our financial system a little bit more and you discover that there are some real issues with it. People are making money off of it, but are not really contributing to society. But you are not quite there yet to understand that the reason for these flaws are complex & multilayered.

    You discover crypto & the promise of a currency free of these backroom figures that syphon off money. A promise of redistribution to the common man.

    Now mix in a little bit of narcissistic tendencies. YOU ARE A COMMON MAN. The big redistribution hasn’t happened yet, you can be Robin Hood destroying these man in black suits (& take a relatively minor part for yourself). You will be rich and the good guy.

    At the end of the day this is an ad. Ads don’t have to be true. They have to invoke the right feelings in there target audience. And the target audience here is people with mediocre understanding of the financial world, with a few narcissistic tendencies.



  • Because they state that free healthcare is automatically bad healthcare. Which, as a general statement, is just wrong.

    Free Healthcare is a broad term for dozens of different policies in dozens of different countries. Just because OP’s specific country has problems, doesn’t mean that every single implementation of free healthcare leads to bad healthcare. Also a similar rhetoric is used as a dog whistle by the far right in the USA.

    Additionally they are using a specific question about their situation, to rant about a much broader topic. This soapboxing called behaviour is generally frowned upon.

    So the comment in isolation is wrong, attention seeking & looks like written by someone who is something between a manchild, that is unable/unwilling to present a nuanced opinion, and a nazi. All of which are imho criteria for a downvote.
