There are many MAGA grifters with similarly confusingly contradictory identity going back to the start and the reality is that they’re there because capital interest outweighs all else.

MAGA grifts seem incredibly lucrative, especially if you’re the sort of Milo Yionopolis, Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro ass, member of a group they’re not too fond off. I’m pretty sure MAGA grifts are the most lucrative social grift currently, it’s free money and the discourse drives the engagement so its a self feeding loop for an influencer or content creator, its self perpetuating in other ways too so if you start its not easy to stop.

They also don’t care that they’re helping to do the things that they do because they believe the leopards won’t eat her face in the end because she was one of the good ones. Ofcourse bigots rarely make distinctions when riled up in to a frenzy, so they definitely could and likely will get facey eaten. But assuming she is actually getting paid, she will become ever more privileged in their new society than she would be in their new society without that money. But also, if she’s been privileged with wealth long enough she could align with wealth interests solely, and ignore (bewilderingly) all the other policys of MAGA.

I think goes from obsession to possesion maybe, ur kinda tied to a phone for a lot of services these days and 5 years is at least more reasonable than every year or 2

Sounds cool, did you find any standout resources in the process about running nodes, and would you be willing to share if so? I last ran local when the chain was small enough to fit under a 32gb thumb drive lol

Also if you don’t mind answering I had some questions:

• What would the costs be involved generally with hosting a full node? Is it high in bandwidth costs?
• Would ‘mining’ be an option for the device running the node?
• How much can u expect to spend on an 16tb hdd to host the node?
• Finally, all in, how much did it cost you to set up your node?

Try discord servers for books, my best friend found his partner on one and a couple years later he moved countrys to live with her! Try reading groups or other such things and you’ll surely find people you have something in common with, and who knows where those relationships will lead you

Transcripts do exist on YouTube to be fair, in the video description you can choose to load the transcript which has timestamps and is automatically generated for all (?) YouTube videos. Though this doesn’t solve the issue as there will be times where you have to watch the footage, it certainly helps in skipping to the right time
