Unfortunately I think most of the damage has been done. Populations & cultures are mixed. There is no way to undo the situation in most places without some further sort of theft or injustice. And beyond that, 70% of the population got gene editing covid injections.

There is no "right" of collectives to maintain anything, only individuals have rights. Individuals have the right to choose mates who look like them if that is something that concerns them. Individuals can voluntarily build communities & private institutions focused on race & culture if they want. But I would recommend focusing more on cultural alignment than racial features.

The world's primary proplem right now is a number of inbred families who have become literal blood sucking pedophile monsters as a result of their obsession with eugenics & their desire for control over others.

I know multiple people who are black (from the US south, from the Caribbean, from African nations), I know Persians, and I know Arabs who are all almost certainly smarter than you are. I think human beings all have brains that are much larger than we need to survive. The main problem is that most are running the wrong software.

Two of the smartest people in the world are Marilyn vos Savant & Christopher Langan. Marilyn is fairly libertarian, Langan is a crazy authoritarian. Marilyn was raised in a household with hard working parents who gave her a great deal of freedom, Langan was raised by abusive acholholics.

None of that is to suggest that genetics plays no role, but the brain behaves like a muscle. People become stupid to the degree that they refuse to think. I know people who were less intellignet in school who are smarter now & I know people who were very intelligent growing up and who, for whatever reason, seem to have just stopped learning & thinking in a serious way.

If you are raised in a family where self control & rational thought are scarce then brain building is much harder. Similarly if you are raised in a family that eats garbage then you are much more likely to end up with diabetes.

And this is not a baseless aversion to racism. I think it is smart to be extra cautious when dealing with Haitians, Indians, Somalis, and any purple haired or septum pierced person too. But I also know exceptions to at least a couple of those. I am sure there are other races or nationalities or fashion signals that it might be smart to be cautious of too. My position is a recognition that collectivist assumptions, & particularly fixed genetic arguments, are often more blinding & destructive to understanding than any sort of irrational religious belief ever could be.

Those who think they have found an answer in genetics tend to deal with people in predetermined ways. This prevents connections that might challenge said assumtions & weaponizes confirmation bias against all other explanations. I do not think there is much good that can come from collectivist thinking in any form. It all generally leads to bullshit & bad outcomes.

Dealing with each person as an individual is the best for freedom and any hope of an ethical cooperative society.

Race is not a primary factor. It's not inborn. It's culture. Culture often divides people along racial lines because people of the same race tend to associate. But I have met libertarians of all races who often seem to feel like outcasts no matter where they are from (because we are generally the minority).

I'm white and I can honestly say that some of the dumbest fucking idiots I have ever met in my life are white leftwingers. They are truly garbage people who will lie to your face & steal from anyone & play the victim in nearly any situation. People are not born that contorted by cowardice, they are socially engineered to be that.

If that was true then you would align yourself with anarcho capitalists & voluntarist libertarians who also want to be free to own things & trade without being taxed and stolen from by political parasites.

If you don't understand that the polical class & their taxes & monetary debasement are the most direct forms of financial oppression & slavery then I would argue that you are the retard.

Israeli pedos & the political class they control operate by imposing taxes & regulations that support corp cronies & crush or prevent small businesses from even getting started.

No one is more obsessed with material things, & the imaginary status they think those things convey, than communists who are willing to kill others because they have "too much."

"Eat the rich" is a slogan rooted in murderous greed & envy.

Socialists, collectivists, & "woke" people in all forms are obsessed with status & power. They are dishonest, back stabbing, & simply cannot be trusted, almost without exception.

The focus on race & social status is basically antithetical to prioritizing truth & merit.

There can be no tolerance of this delusional bullshit if we want any system to survive.

The truth that neither side wants to face is that some races and cultures have more inborn merit in some fields -- and more inborn respect for truth -- than others. This creates a situation in which, in a pure truth-based meritocacy, some races/cultures are favored and others disfavored. Sometimes t...

Absolutely. No tolerance for this stuff. Toxic maxis need to activate and send these people crying back to their safe spaces as soon as they are detected. Tainted projects must be forked. Bitcoin's unapologetic culture is a key part of its immune system. That's why I made Zsub's first release expli...

Zionists hate socialists because socialists put pedophiles to death instead of letting them flee back to Israel. Only American retards will say otherwise, people who support allowing pedophiles to rape children always attack socialism

There are actually free state project(s), special economic zones, sea steading, & other efforts, as well as bitcoin & other p2p projects that are meant to promote freedom & route around govts without imposing costs on anyone. There are arguably more of such things today than at any other time in history.

agreed and it's very exciting. but i would expect there to be so much more - it makes me want to hunt around for the cause of suppression. ..the two obvious ones are: risk aversion / bread and circuses comfort & lack of genuine existential need (in western countries). the latter is reversing by th...

If socialists really thought their ideas would produce a superior outcome for everyone, they would form their own communities & cooperatives (which are perfectly legal in most of the developed world) and they would use their success to attract new participants.

But what they really want is to steal from & enslave people who want nothing to do with their ideas. And they are generally such horrible people, on an individual level, that they often attempt to ruin the lives of anyone who disagrees with them, which is pretty consistent with the desire to enslave others in the first place.

None of them don’t believe that. They know it won’t work, but they understand there are enough gullible people they can manipulate with the promise of “free stuff” to gain power and wealth for themselves.

Bitcoin Core developers have explicitly said users are free to run different software: https://bitcoincore.org/en/2025/06/06/relay-statement/ What people like myself are sick of are the lies and deceptive rhetoric around all of this, and the toxic environment it creates. https://image.nostr.build/...

Your node, your software. It’s open code you can change the relay policy all you want. Core removed default relays that in their view were causing miner centralization as large miners were being given an unfair advantage. You are free to ignore that concern.
