The Voluntary Exchange Podcast: A Year in Review - 2017
2017 was a landmark year. Most people will say that is because of the election of Donald Trump. For me, it was the year that I realized that discussing politics had become almost impossible. The election of Trump allowed the emotional masses their opportunity to express their opinions, and man did it muddy the waters.
The reaction to Trump's election forced me to disconnect from friends, shut down by Facebook, and retreat to simply providing my perspective letting people do with it as they please. Steemit helped me out in a major way, as the political discussions here are civil and based in facts (mostly). Getting screamed at by friends who hadn't spent more than 15 minutes in the last 8 years reading up on a political story, or educating themselves on some belief they have.
Anyway, this episode is my opinion on what were the important things to take from this year. The list below contains some of what is covered:
- Russia/Deep State "Scandal"
- Irrationality of the Anti-Trumpers
- Alt-Right/SJWs
- The rise of cryptocurrency
I hope you enjoy the episode and here's to a happy and healthy 2018!
