The false #pandemic revealed political costumes to be just that: costumes. Behind it all was always fearful NPCs playing primitive tribal games for their own psychological security. Fear of feeling exposed to the herd pushes people towards in-group dynamics. Identity has more to do with a feeling of safety than self expression. Covid exposed the fear in all, and a new costume was born: terrified statists. The slave mind on full display. Reject the dual costumes of the State. Red and blue are the compliance olympics. Opt out. #Bitcoin

#Pipesmoking is the highest and most refined form of solitude.

Terrorism benefits the State many times more than it does the Individual, so you'll excuse me for hypothesizing that the State has invented it to further it's own means.

Climate change ingeniously rebrands inflation as a sin committed by everyone instead of the ruling class. #Bitcoin

#Degrowth is #Malthusian spin on depopulation policy.

Rage that others' have succeeded manifest as a false piety to overcome Nature's uneven distribution of wealth. That's the envy lie at the center of the socialist phenomena that's fueled the most tremendous government overreach of all time. #Bitcoin disempowers this hateful, collective instinct, returning the State to a tiny, marginal utility.

Grateful.

Only folks that have gotten over themselves will get #Bitcoin, to the extent that #Bitcoin is literally recording purchasing power by humility.

Envy prevents normal people from becoming early adopters of #Bitcoin because, woe is them, they did not adopt *even* earlier like some lucky people.

The real political spectrum has to do with size of government: from free market anarchism, to libertarian minarchism, to small government conservatism, to statism and outright totalitarianism. Today's political parties are all progressiving towards a larger government, statist today and totalitarian tomorrow. #Bitcoin reverses this trend.

#Nostr shrugs off the statism of 'rules for thee, not for me'.

Flee into printed media.

Conservatism in the political machine hasn't existed since the 30s. Today we have a social progressive party, the Democrats, and a financial progressive party, the Republicans. It's a single party pursuing alternative paths to the same place: central planning gigantism.

It is, of course, a trifle, but there is nothing so important as trifles. -Sherlock Holmes

Inflation has pushed goods so far down the cost curve that greater than 90% of purchasable products are indistinguishable with literal garbage. No wonder the ruling class views consumerism as a form of pollution; cheap money has hallowed out the value of everything. #Bitcoin

#Nostr actually represents a more immediate threat to the State than #Bitcoin.

Inspiring.

Beautiful.
