Yeah, sure. What could go wrong?

Yes! Please! Don’t allow that crypto revolving door to continue or the idea might catch on in other industries.

It’s the dumbest thing. Same with the institutional buy-in. I remember when we started this. It was after 2008 had occurred and everyone was reeling from the bailouts. No one misunderstood the purpose. We were trying out new technology and we wanted to destroy the power of the government and its banking cartel to steal from us by manipulating our economy and creating money from thin air (which they proceed to be as irresponsible as possible with as they rest assured they’ll always be able to take more from us). People didn’t think it would work out, but no one thought it would work out and the community would be packed with idiots demanding to be regulated and interfered with. We. Are. At. War. This is a monetary Cold War. We need, need, NEED to start thinking in those terms again. View quoted note →

Largely a tool of the powers that be. And they always speak as though they have one voice, but there’s usually serious dissent. The Keystone Pipeline was supported by many “natives” (they aren’t that native), and the ones that didn’t were mostly upset that they plotted it around their reservation, cutting them out of financial gain. Simultaneously you had Buffett and the railroads trying to use the State to kill it, lest they lose the business of transporting what would be in the pipeline. Of course that’s never how it’s framed, but that’s how it is. There’s a reasonable amount of skepticism and scrutiny that should be applied to technology and new infrastructure, but the people demanding a return to the Stone Age must be wholly defeated… View quoted note →

A little known incident of enormous importance:

Remember: everything you’re watching is textbook Israeli atrocity management.

“Tehran Times leaked a confidential recording from "Anti-Defamation League" (ADL) Director Jonathan Greenblatt in which he expresses his concern about rising support for Palestine and opposition to zionism. Greenblatt raises alarms about generational opposition to the zionist entity and growing recognition of the inalienable legitimacy of armed resistance. He notes the change in language among activists and allies who are increasingly refusing to recognize the zionist entity, accusing these changes of having something to do with Iran. To solve this "issue," Greenblatt states: "We have a TikTok problem. Our community needs to put the same brains that gave us Taglit [free birthright trips to the zionist entity] to put our energy towards this fast." Global sentiment is increasingly aligned with the Palestinian cause and resistance despite the ADL's efforts to counter these trends.”

I’m sure this won’t end badly…

They did the same thing Afghanistan to Ukraine. There’s never enough for Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.
