nostr is for people who like freedom.
And holy shit, apparently nobody likes freedom.
I don't know the context of this note but I have some thoughts.
I love freedom but I'm also a realist.
"Lul just stop paying taxes bro" is fedposting at best, naivety at worst.
"Lul just ditch every convenience and dump lots of hours into learning niche tools" is completely impractical.
"Lul if you're not doing x/y/z, you're a statecuck" is immensely elitist and inaccurate.
Those are just a few of the ones that I just don't get.
There's also the fact that the Crowleyan "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" philosophy is not the same as believing in basic, collaborative, common-good human freedoms (a la the US Constitution); you can be against immorality while still being pro-freedom.
In general, I used to align myself with a libertarian-leaning philosophy until I started realizing it's unrealistic and ineffective, effectively trying to build an impossible la-la land that will never come to fruition. These days, I say I'm a pre-Wilson Constitutionalist politically, and a Christian traditionalist ethically. That means I do align with plenty of libertarian ideals because I believe in the Constitution, but there are also plenty of areas where I strongly disagree. Doesn't make me anti-freedom.
