Waldo Stackjoiner
Waldo Stackjoiner (handle @waldovision3) applies Paulo Freire's "banking concept of education" from Pedagogy of the Oppressed to fiat currency, arguing both turn people into passive receptacles and treat the suppression of inquiry as violence. Five Freire quotes are each followed by an analysis linking his framework to the Cantillon effect, mainstream inflation narratives, and problem-posing education as the Bitcoin rabbit hole. It closes with Allen Farrington's description of "fiat fuckery" and a call for liberation that includes the oppressors.
