Agreed here, but I will caveat the issue of influence vs safety.
There are tons of other conservatives with the same opinions as Charlie kirk. One of the most glaring things about his murder was just how normal his views were. He wasn't a new Nazi, part of the racist right, or anything.
But the others with the same exact opinions as him were NOT killed... Because they were not charlie kirk.
Charlie kirk was killed because I can personally name dozens of people woken up by him, including my own wife. There are people with even smarter beliefs that I cannot say the same for due to their lack of impact.
Nostr's resistance to censorship allows people that may be incapable of the same levels of reach on traditional social media to gain influence. This is critical to change the broken elements of modern culture by establishing what will become the new counter-elite that will have to sweep away the current elite.
But this also reduces safety on the personal level.
If you do nothing, you might die hungry in your bunker after the Epstein class ended the world in their hubris. If you get famous for stopping them, you might become the next charlie kirk, including that target on his back that took him out.
Ultimately, how you want to handle this issue of security vs reach ultimately depends on how important influence and access to information is to you and what you think your role is.
Logging off keeps you from being a personal target, but it leaves you no voice and no eyes on who IS talking to see the trends and plan accordingly: no voice and no eyes.
Logging on keeps you visible, makes you exposed. But it also gives you the knowledge and the power to act, to organize, to plan.

American Nationalist, rational empiricist, closed borders conservative. Beatboxer, amateur philosopher, aspiring novelist, and outdoor worker.
Absolutely asinine.
Wa Daniel penny incompetent for effectively stopping a danger to him and everyone on the train with him?
The incompetent police officer is the one that doesn't arrest the vagrant with an arrest warrant because he would "be a hassle", resulting in an innocent child's death hours later.
It is incompetent to acquiesce to a bully by giving him your lunch money to avoid a fight: he will simply come back the next day expecting more free stuff.
Violence is a necessity for the righteous expressly BECAUSE it is the FIRST choice for every incompetent that thinks they can get away with it. And they think they can get away with it the moment they see that the competent have been unwilling to use violence to stop them for a long enough time.

Fair. But I still like the prospect of having half as many looters.

From my estimate... Not long. 8 years max for some people. More like 20 for others.
This is only considering the jobs still available to actual nationals of their respective countries and not those lost due to outsourcing, automation (including AI), and immigrant ethnic cabals that just hoard the space for thmselves.

Israel is NOT an ally.
I can understand their strategic predicament.
Their predicament is not our problem and they have proven that they will not take our needs into consideration at all.

It's easy to make retarded comments about people you don't know because you don't know enough to even realize how retarded your conclusion is.
How many people have you taught secure communications to? How many people have you taught practical skills like firearms handling and land navigation to?
You and I both know you haven't and won't even make a step in a productive issue. You just want to jerk off in your basement about how you are better than anyone doing or saying anything while you do nothing.
So you can feel better about doing nothing.
Pure bullshit nihilism.

They gaslit everybody about the virus coming from a lab.
They gaslit us about masks working to stop the virus.
They gaslit us about the safety of the virus.
I don't blame they Karen's for noticing the lies and jumping to random conclusions due to groupthink and lack of subject knowledge.
I blame the "experts" who touted the approved lies for funding and then have the audacity to make jokes at the Karen's expense for catching on.
I EXPECT normies to get it wrong.
"Scientists" are supposed to know better.

Apparently you think that having conviction means brazenly getting yourself killed for nothing without a plan.
What is necessary is a bloody revolution. But no revolution succeeds that does not have a well coordinated counter-elite. The american revolution had such an elite, which is why it lasted as intended until at least Lincoln and still continued in a bastardized form until Wilson.
The French revolution did not have such organization and it was returned to a monarchy within a single generation after blowing the productive potential of 1/3 of its male population.
The right has failed precisely because of the bullshit trap phrases of "get a real job"--meaning "be a plan trusting cog and ignore critical cultural roles"--and " action"--meaning "get yourself ruby ridged out of the way by taking risky actions before building the cultural structures required to actually follow through on them".
Return to the land was shut down. And ruby ridge died.
Just because I'm not a reckless retard doesn't change the fact that the people involved in the UK rape gangs and those protecting them don't deserve public flaying to death or worse.

We already have mass armies and invasions:
They are called "Muslims", " Indians", or "Africans" usually, though they can often go by other names.
Hence my point about extra-terrestrials being a distraction.
Also, climate change has been and always will be nothing more than a deindustrialization scammed at the west. Notice that it never applies to India, China, or indonesia... Only to the west when THEY want to mine their own lithium or build nuclear plants. Never mind the literal river of shit (the Ganges).

The issue isn't with the client, it is with a government unwilling to apply the necessary distinction.
Or more accurately, a government that conveniently ignores the distinction as a pretext to get away with things proper sense would not allow.

They know better. "But the kids" has always been an excuse. Half these people were involved with Epstein and yet they still push this narrative. They do it because religious Karens and immasculated meb will eat it up and cowtow to the moralizing.

As much as this upsets me, let's be real here.
He was arrested for crashing a party he wasn't invited to.
His questioning Israel is why he wasn't invited, but it is not why he was arrested.
