This whole thread spills into Fight Club antoganist's philosophy on how we work the jobs we hate, to buy shit we don't need, to impress people that give no fuck. View quoted note →

Monero bros love saying “100% auditable” and then speed-run past the warning label on monero’s own website. You cannot directly count the supply because amounts are hidden. You infer that supply is correct by trusting the cryptography and implementation. If an undetectable inflation bug ever slips through, you may not be able to prove how much fake Monero exists or even that it exists. So no, it is not “100% auditable.” It is “trust the proofs, and please don’t read the fine print.” #Privacy is a feature. Invisible accounting risk is not magic.

Moving toward an ancap society starts with dismantling central planning. First, laissez-faire economics. Then, step by step, expand private provision of border security, defense, arbitration, and internal order. The goal is simple: shrink the state’s monopoly on force until freedom no longer depends on permission.

Freedom is mandatory. Fighting tyranny is mandatory. Centralized verticals of control are cages with better branding. A good cause is contagious when people embody it. So be the example. Keep the signal alive.

A statist's take on why current state modus operandi is needed: you're too dumb, too non-white, too uncivilized. Why not just start with laissez faire economics first? Get rid of centralized planning? View quoted note →

Achieving consensus without third-parties. That's the name of the game.

I hate other social medias so much that I choose to remain in this dead space.

Every gadget you're stroking yourself over runs on borrowed math. Your numbers? Hindu-Arabic. Algebra? Arabic — al-jabr. Gunpowder, paper, the compass, printing? Chinese. Optics, medicine, the stuff your "great men" cribbed and slapped their names on? Ibn al-Haytham, Ibn Sina. White Europe grabbed the baton in the last lap and calls itself the whole race. And it only got to run because someone else was bleeding out. The capital behind the industrial revolution came off slave ships and looted colonies. You don't get gentlemen inventors with time to daydream until you've got a planet of forced labor bankrolling the leisure. The "ingenuity" was paid for in other people's blood. So sit down. It's not your race's genius, it's the last chapter of a book everyone else wrote.., and you're claiming the whole library. Shame on you. View quoted note →

That's such a misguided perspective. The descendants of European serfs who were driven to take a cross-Atlantic boat voyage with a 50/50 chance of survival are now claiming to be the greatest civilization. But they conveniently ignore the fact that it was transnational finance that set that state up and caged the descendants of those peasant serfs within its walls and brainwashed them to be saying shit like this.

And, to add to this, it's the opposite of defending the truth, the meek and the honor of one's bloodline. View quoted note →
