Recent Notes

Everyone focusing national and global.

Fighting with strangers on the internet.

Very few focusing local, and even fewer inward to yourself.

Build up and be an active member of your local community. Love and be kind to your neighbor. Support local business.

And incredibly, incredibly incompetent and untrained. It pisses me off how many things I’ve been seeing about “well the laws says her vehicle is a weapon.” (Which she also wasn’t using it as she was clearly leaving…)

Folks focuses on “the law” rather than humanity, morals, a lost soul, and common sense.

Oh boy. I disagree with you, but also I wasn’t even talking about racial diversity. That’s a part of it, but also religion diversity as well.

Under a common principles understanding. There was great diversity at the time from even Europeans here…and your mentioning a naturalization law from people who did not have women or slaves as voting members of society at the time of course. We can take the spirit of the founders in this case…these things have updated of course

Fuck right off JD, always playing the goddamn victim card you slippery snake.

The scary problem is…

America was founded by a diverse people, but with shared principles. First in human history (at least of this scale).

But when you then have a diverse people revert back to tribal associations separate from shared principles…how does this nation stay “united”?

It doesn’t. It falls.

This is the tamer of his posts regarding Trump.

So many do it particularly on X, perhaps I shouldn’t pick directly on Pomp (I have certainly done it in the past and trying to get better)

It’s hitting me again in this chapter of Bitcoin adoption we find ourselves in why so many continue to be militantly against Bitcoin (even ones you may say they *should* be for it! Like I used to say about progressives).

If you believe the state is redeemable and that government, central banks, politicians, etc are capable of handling money, rights and freedoms, then you see no need for Bitcoin.

In fact you may ideological or quite literally fight against something like Bitcoin because you fear it means:

1) you’re wrong about your assumptions of government and central banks being the best and honest actors for money
2) you fear advocating for or support of bitcoin will destroy your notions of government and banks and do not want to see this happen

And many working against Bitcoin view it and Bitcoiners as a threat to the status quo, and as I’ve said before many go so far as to suggest we *want* governments and central banks to fail.

This is not the case at all. We just have eyes and ears, follow incentives, and are highly skeptical (based on historical events 100% of the time) that they are the best actors to be in charge of money and permission-based structures. We say even if governments improve, it’s not worth the risk of asking permission and trusting they won’t constantly steal, change the rules, and prevent us from transacting.

We are building parallel structures because the current ones have been failing and the only way they continue is if more and more power is taken from the people and centrally concentrated to the government (and banks). No thanks!
