Once again, the thing that was an "unfounded far right conspiracy theory" was quietly admitted true again. And, yet again, not so much as a fine let alone the proper penalties for treason will happen. image

Because the sad fact is that trump IS good. This is not to absolve him of his rug pulls on campaign promises or his selling out to the Israel lobby, but to highlight the fact that... ALL of them do it. If we are going to measure him against his fellow politicians, then the bar for "good" is practically on the floor. #politics #trump View quoted note →

The text depicted is disingenuous. What does it mean to be "a people" vs "a tribe" or "a race". Ultimately, due to the nature of historical cultural isolation, take any small locality anywhere and its people are likely to be more genetically related to each other than they would be to people from further off. You could call this a "tribe" or "ethnicity" or any word you want, but the truth is the same. As you zoom out, the same truth remains but for larger geographic regions. While two Frenchmen are likely to be more related to each other than a random German, all three are closer related to each other than to a random afghan or Chinese person. And due to cultural isolation the genetic distance would also strongly correlate to cultural distance as well. This is not even accounting for how culture can shape genetics, like how the Samoan beauty standard preferring large size literally breeds giants. Ergo the distinction between these terms of "tribe", " ethnicity" are not a distinction of kind but of scope and scale. The only exception to this is the term "race" which is so broad as to be entirely genetic, which we would be able to tell at first contact if a child of one race was somehow raised entirely within a community of a different race (ex: a black child adopted into a white homogenous community). The community might see the genetically distinct person as one of their own, part of the community, etc, but it would still be visibly obvious to everyone that that person is NOT the same as everyone else in several ways. This last example is only that painfully obvious when the genetic difference is large and visible. Most american whites are blissfully unaware of how many German-Americans exist because most can't even tell the difference. This is why Europe-only migration produced assimilation rates higher than those of today (though 1900s assimilation success is still very much overstated to support the open borders agenda). #politics #immigration #race #culture #anthropology #demographics View quoted note →

Breaks my heart, but largely right. On the bright side though, gen z is realizing this as a demographic. I just hope that whatever happens soon while I am still fit enough to handle it rather than doing a "boomer" and just passing the struggle onto my sons. But I don't have the position to determine the timeline. All I can do is manage my own preparedness for now. View quoted note →

I am loving the #darkwisp "extended" feed. It let's me see new content without overloading me with the volume of the "global" firehose.

Violence and organization have a cost, and both are required to resist tyranny. A disorganized group incapable of violence is how you end up in our current police state. This this is why 2A was put into the constitution and why it wanted us to have militias... Groups of well armed and organized fraternal organizations that were centered around their local communities and thereby already had their own parallel institutions. This is why ideology is critical, but one's expectations must be moderated by reality. People calling the USA a sham or fraud because they couldn't apparate gold from nothing, abolish slavery from the onset, etc are being completely disingenuous. They could only fix so much at one time without spreading themselves too thin and failing at ALL of those things. And then they would be nothing but a footnote of "those traitors hanged by the crown in 1778" (assuming some response lag due to 18th century logistics). Perfectly realizing their ideals will require more social and technological advancement. Crytocurrencies and decentralized media systems will definitely play a critical role in all of this. #nostr #btc #usa #history #politics View quoted note →

Not the same batch, but here is what I have from the previous batch of cheese I made, which was about 6 pounds of cheese total. I am still making Alfredo with it regularly.

Home made cultured cheese inoculated with brie ribd mold, pressed with home grown basil leaves. When the herb rind dries, it will be ready to transfer to a wire rack for long term storage. image

The moment I start being forced to verify everywhere, I'm turning off my other platforms and will be strictly nostr, especially for my controversial topics accounts like this one and my X handle (which I will find a way to just clone over to here like the elon or libs of tiktok bots).

I trust nostr more than the traditional system, but nostr has this too. Even if you can totally divorce from fiat and traditional systems you have Your nsec Your wallet seed Your signer pin Etc. Things add up. The difference is that you have greater ownership.

Anyone else noticing dark wisp crashing a lot lately? I never had a problem until yesterday and now it is crashing every few minutes I am on it. #asknostr
