Winning is only true when you are beating state.

Keys, not credos
If you want peace, prepare for war.
The state has always been the pinacle of all evil throughout history. The center insists it is the only legitimate source of law, taxation, courts, and armed force. From Vercingetorix to Makhno, the state apparatus murdered and executed all true leaders while using heresy/rebellion/banditry/extremism to convert political centralization into moral necessity.
Remedies:
1. Exit over voice
From nomads to frontier settlers to digital communities, liberty survives longest where people can leave. This is already articulated by Étienne de La Boétie:
Tyranny persists because people continue to participate.
2. Polycentric power (no single vertical)
Liberty persists where power is fragmented, redundant and non-hierarchical.
Examples (temporary but real):
Medieval free cities
Stateless borderlands (Scott’s “Zomia”)
Early Swiss cantons
Pre-tsarist Caucasia
Certain pirate enclaves
Short-lived federated revolutions (Ukraine 1918–21, Spain 1936)
3. Material independence precedes political independence
Historically, people are free only when they are hard to tax, track, and conscript.
That means:
Control of food/energy
Peer-to-peer exchange
Low fixed capital exposure
Self-defense capacity
Political rights follow after, not before.
4. Technological asymmetry (new, crucial factor)
This is new relative to most of history:
Cryptography
P2P networks
Stateless money
Censorship-resistant communication
These restore exit at scale, temporarily reversing the state’s legibility advantage.
They do not abolish the state — but they raise the cost of domination.
It's absurd that central planning — even through proved by history to be ineffctive without centralized vertical — is picking up velocity within public domain and intelligentsia of the Western world.

You can't be a bitcoiner and not be for freedom tech.
#Palantir CEO brags: “Palantir is here to disrupt… scare enemies, and, on occasion, kill them. And we hope you're in favor of that.”
Fuckin hate flying out in the winter season from the airports near the Alps. Too many British tourists for my liking
Is #nostr still dead?
During the last week, #nostr sers who is really here to seperate money from the state and who's here to infiltrate and lead astray the ethos of #Bitcoin.
Never listen to influencers, it's the next word for twats.
The entire question of should there be a state comes down whether one believes there should be central planning or not.
What does #nostr think? Should there be central planning?
The folks who believe that there was a black ops style operation to get #Maduro — like in a Hollywood movie — do not understand how betrayal works. The guy got sold out by the very people who hired for security.
The US folks will never liberate themselves from their corrupt government but applaud that their "liberty" is the best one.

The gullible eat this shit up so easily. Never ceases to amaze.

Proof of Keys
Proof of Keys Day is the annual practice of withdrawing all funds from 3rd party custodians into a wallet that you control.
Expropriate our shit and we sure as hell will bomb the shit out of you. We've done it for for lesser reasons to others,

Bitcoin’s base layer is technically fungible by protocol, but surveillance and traceability make it partially non‑fungible in practice, especially in regulated contexts.
But what about hindered investment and the free-riders that will just hoard and sit on their Bitcoin because of ngu?
