Shattered Illusions - Dubai, Crypto, and Chaos

  • Опубликовано: 16 апр 2024
  • Dubai (a city representing the pure embodiment of greed and self absorption) was intended to host a couple of upscale "crypto" conferences, until the streets were flooded, in a near biblical display of geographical supremacy.
    As the worlds richest elites were lowered to their rightful places... the country even fell as low as trying to suppress questions about whether or not they did this to themselves... (or perhaps contributed) in a very fitting display of true intentions and behavior.

    I’m glad this sentiment towards Dubai is growing. It basically feels like Las Vegas times infinity, it’s pretty much a modern gehanna of excess and pride that stands for nothing. It’s soulless greed if it was an entire city, built off the backs of slaves. If there was such a thing as an unholy city, it’s probably gonna be Dubai, and I’m glad people are starting to understand that.

    Don't mistake cloud seeding with the form of geoengineering which involves injecting particulates into the stratosphere to "manage" solar radiation. Cloud seeding is way down here in the troposphere, and its implications are local or regional.

    I know this is not related to this video exactly, but that "cloud seeding in Dubai" part, reminds me of One Piece's episodes in Arabasta, where the main villain in that arc used something called "Dance Powder", which makes it rain in certain regions where it is spread, but as a consequence, causes severe drought on other regions as it is "stealing" the components that make the rain clouds.

    I’m all for shitting on crypto Bros suffering as much as anyone, but this had nothing to do with them being crypto Bros. This isn’t a financial blow to what they’re about. This is a regular nuisance, same as it would be for anyone else there.
    I’m good with petty, but this is pointless

    I do hear that Dubai is a terrible place. Never been. But I'll never condone blanket statements accusing everyone that lives or goes there as bad people. Feeling vindicated that bad/inconvenient things are happening to people you deem worthy of such is also really distasteful. I'm disappointed to hear so much hate in your tone in this video. I'm not morally superior to you or anyone here. This is just my long winded way of saying I don't think you should be hateful.

    One of the best videos you have released.
    Well, outside of the gaming ones I enjoy a pinch more.

    When you started your rant, my first thought was "Wow, it sounds like he's going to say Dubai is the new Babylon!"
    Glad to hear you don't disappoint.
