Bitcoin and the right fawns over a brutal dictator
gm,
Back in June '021 I tweeted that crypto Twitter was praising El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele for buying Bitcoin, while ignoring the fact that he's a brutal dictator.
@BitcoinMagazine has a new low.

Now they're not only ignoring the fact that Nayib Bukele charges women with homicide for having a miscarriage or an abortion.
They're doing it in the name of God.

When it was pointed out to WoW's founder that Bukele imprisons and charges women with homicide for having an abortion, she seemed shocked - "I'll look into that".
Floor!
It'll be a great day in crypto when the community condemns the human rights violations that routinely occur in El Salvador and calls out Nayib Bukele for what he really is - a brutal thug, instead of praising him for pumping his bags of Bitcoin. https://t.co/ZOdGTQulRx

Now the right is praising him, he's their darling.
It's shocking that so many in our country praise such a terrible human being. It's their right, for sure. But it's also our right to stand against them and for what we believe in. Here's to hoping that's happening - en masse. And that we outnumber them by far.
