Why is there so much flat earth nonsense on NOSTR and where has it all come from?

Dulce et Decorum Est Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime... Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori — Wilfred Owen

My sympathies are with the soldiers. They’re the ones who are truly fucked by the system. Fighting and dying in meaningless wars made endless by money printing. We think we’ve got it hard but they’re the ones who are dying “Dulcē et decōrum est prō patriā morī” my fucking ass.

They’re trying to clamp down on non-KYC bitcoin. But if there are circular economies spending in bitcoin who really don’t give a shit we’re alright. Right?

I buy bitcoin because 1. I’m absolutely sickened by endless war 2. Satoshi included a front page including money printing (bailout) and endless war (Israel invading Gaza - Again). He cared 3. It’s the safest way to pass on my wealth 4. It protects my family into the future

As bitcoiners we all talk about money printing. But we’ve read so much about it (broken money, bitcoin standard etc) that we don’t realise the rest of the world doesn’t know anything about it. I was explaining money printing to my 14 year old son and he refused to accept it. He kept saying “but it’s paid back”, “everything is returned”. He got quite emotional about it. This is the reaction from ‘normies’. It is emotional, visceral. It’s like we’re breaking down a fundamental pillar of their worldview. And we are. He’s only 14!! Normies will fight tooth and nail to defend their worldview. Bitcoin will win, but it’s going to take a long time
