Nihilism and relativism are destroying Western Civilization.

When I was in Priest River, ID there was an elderly Navy vet who had Federal agents show up on his doorstep to confiscate his firearms because he had been deemed mentally disabled by the VA. It stemmed from his having checked a box on a form stating that he required assistance to fill out some financial paperwork.

He of course refused to let them in the house, but they were very persistent. First several of the neighbors showed up to intervene, then half the sheriff department showed up to intervene, and finally the county sheriff showed up and told the agents to fuck off or he would arrest them.

This is why I still have faith in America, because there are people and places like this left in the country.

It's a mix of reasons. Many of the core devs have been jealous of ethereum as long as it's been around, and want to bolt EVM capabilities onto Bitcoin. Some bitcoiners don't have faith in Bitcoin as peer-to-peer electronic cash and think it needs these capabilities to succeed. Many are simply reacting out of cult-like zealotry. Any implementation other than the Core GitHub repo is blasphemy and the core devs are the infallible high priests of Bitcoin and should not be questioned. No matter what is wrong we must all stick together for the sake of consensus and the prospect of a chain split is unthinkable. Finally there are many who are unknowledgeable and unthinking and simply follow whatever their favorite podcaster or influencer edge lord says.

I don't agree with drink driving laws. Every night thousands of people drive with a BAC above the legal limit and get home safely. Causing property damage or hurting people are already crimes, but the penalty should fit the harm caused. If you drive intoxicated and kill somebody, going to prison for manslaughter doesn't solve anything. It doesn't make amends. You should be obligated to work and financially support their surviving family for the rest of your life. If you do not work on the outside to provide this support, then you should be placed in a prison factory and forced to work to create value. Yes this is slavery, and yes it is just.
