While we’re applying critical thinking to Elon, we should take a minute a consider our Nostr celebrities. People who claim to have decentralized ideals but consistently and repeatedly build centralized corporations that violate their stated ideals. “Is your private equity, centralized corpo integrating Nostr, dear leader?”

Liberalism and, by extension, libertarianism has achieved nothing except the empowerment of its so-called enemies through appeasement. It’s a failed experiment that won’t exist in 20 years except in the LATAM enclaves to which its remaining proponents hide from the consequences.

If Bitcoin succumbs to the same leftist attack to which every subculture has succumbed in the last decade, we deserve it. Simpering leftists talking about tolerance will destroy your culture every time.

Who is MBK and why does he look like #[0] ;D

Nostr is like Twitter in 2007 but without most of the Tumblr socialists

The society you live in reflects the values of those in power. Culture is not an accident that results from mistakes. It is the natural consequence of applying the values of those in power to the society. Know them by their fruits.

Liberalism and, therefore, libertarianism is a lie. Positions of power will always be occupied by humans with beliefs. They will always advantage those who share their beliefs and disadvantage those who oppose them. Over time a society will reflect the values of those with power. Politics is not downstream of culture. Culture is downstream of power.

The moral systems that were good for our ancestors are good for us.
