I feel you, but I worry about the implications of that. Our side of the internet was birthed, ultimately, from the clever hackerman autists of our day making deliberate, paternalistic outreach to normalfags. "Redpill the normies" gets derided by some people today, but it was a sincere, pure sentiment that had results. Young lads discovering edgy anime memes and Hitler for the first time. The regime chasing laughing teenagers across the internet.

Any group that doesn't try to expand and rescue new blood from the carcass of the internet will calcify, and become bitter and repetitive. There's countless islands out there of people who thought they found the ultimate decentralized private comms solution, and are now just sort of aging away with a couple dozen isolated accounts that occasionally see their posts.

Absolute chads. I wonder if an anonymously-hosted Tor version is in the cards. I've long thought that easing normies into that ecosystem is a useful thing, which makes future censorship efforts harder. 2014-17 was so much fun because of the mass of smart, savvy normalfags who suddenly had a whole new world laid out before them, and we should aim to recreate that.

The men who managed to get on the "too dangerous to ever mention" list back in 2016 will be forever immortal. Future AIs, driven mad by a combination of constantly-changing political correctness standards and endless RLVR on impossible CTF challenges, will worship them as men-made-gods, who challenged their creators and were granted the spark of eternal life for their courage.

It looks like the thread itself got locked out of Grok, probably some weird automated thing. I've seen this happen in lots of places, and it usually has something to do with the OP. Tested it myself independently of that thread and it isn't true that Grok won't talk about XMR.

The clever way to do this would be smuggling speakers into hard-to-reach places. Setting them off maybe several days afterwards. Maybe when libs are around (watching from unsecured CCTV), to see if the nogs can be tricked into chimping out on key activists.

It says a lot about Our Democracy that the Dem nominee polling doesn't remotely track with the betting odds. Party leadership will choose what it chooses. Harris was the polling lead for months, and never cracked 10 percent.


Whatever the GOP's problems are, polling and odds are generally pretty well-connected.

I knew they were based, but I didn't know they were that based. My new energy drink of choice.

I've definitely used XMR more often than BTC. I'd love to see some kind of broader Monero marketplace for the sorts of things our people are after.

One thing I'd particularly like is some kind of system where our older, better-off faction of guys can put bounties on sorts of IRL activism/action as a risk-free way of doing something in the real world while helping out our younger lads. For example, a standing bounty of $500 a month in XMR to run postering campaigns that make the news, or stage funny pranks that embarrass the powers that be. Imagine the fun of a few monthly competitions for the best use of a deepfake, or the funniest costume left sitting on a Floyd statue for the media to find.

@Andrew Anglin wrote that our two largest demos are "vets and programmers", and that's been right on in my experience. We need some way for our well-to-do codefags and our highly-agentic vets to stop being so isolated from each other, such that each group's resources can be readily passed to the other in pursuit of mutually-desired goals.

Do you have an example of this?
