What distinguishes progressives from conservatives? Progressives exhibit traits of subservience, weakness, self-pity, victimhood, and resentment towards anyone who is stronger, more successful, or individualistic. They do not seek to exert their will by improving their own situation but through careful subversion, inverting values to drag others down to their level. Conservatives agree with slightly diluted versions of everything progressives push for. As progressives push the Overton window further left, conservatives begin to agree with the progressives' original positions and claim their new stance is based on principles. Meanwhile, progressives claim to fight oppression and inequality, moving even further left. Both groups resent individualists for not participating in this ever-changing shift of values and seek to corrupt them by inverting their values, convincing them that their virtues are actually vices. Conservatives accuse them of not respecting tradition or authority and advocating chaos, while progressives accuse them of being selfish, racist, oppressive, or capitalistic. In our minds, the right wing remains conservative, and the left wing remains progressive, but this is merely a matter of semantics. Both groups move in the same direction, with progressives in the front and conservatives following not far behind. As Michael Malice said, "Conservatives are progressives, driving the speed limit."

What you see here is one criminal gang fighting another for the people's support. Remember, a government is essentially a legitimized criminal gang. When another gang assists the people in overthrowing the government, their main goal is to seize power for themselves. This is why nations often transition from a bad dictator to an even worse one.

The challenge with overthrowing a dictator is that if those involved are still statists, they will likely just install a new dictator, often one even worse than the previous one. This pattern has occurred in Venezuela before, and it seems to be happening again. The aim of the people is not to eliminate government but to replace it with one that caters to their desires. The root issue lies in their collectivist mindset, which prioritizes having someone else meet their needs at the expense of others. Given this attitude, what other outcome could they expect? The true solution is individualism, not merely finding a new leader. When people take responsibility for themselves and move beyond statism, they will effectively render a dictator powerless through disregard.

The stolen Bitcoin held by the U.S. government should be returned to its rightful owners, but since they are thieves, they probably won't do that. If the government decides to sell the Bitcoin instead, that's acceptable as well. We are prepared to purchase it. I'm ready.

Trump admitted that the US government operates as a fascist regime that has seized a significant amount of Bitcoin through law enforcement. He pledged to keep 100% of what was seized, and the crowd applauded him for this admission. WTF?

I'm reposting this video because it begins and ends with a Nietzsche quote. The content in between is also quite important. View quoted note →

Every time I see someone with vegetable oil in their trolley, I wonder if I should help them. However, I then recall that I've never been able to convince anyone that lockdowns are tyrannical, masks are tools of psychological control, vaccines are harmful, or that they should buy Bitcoin. So, I just let them buy the oil and hopefully learn from their own mistakes. View quoted note →

It's almost time to go fishing with Bitcoin lures again.

My mother's side of the family, the religious side, ostracized me long ago for not participating in their superficial and egotistical social games. None of my cousins invited me to their weddings, yet they still set a table with my name tag to make it appear as though I chose not to attend. I find this behavior hilarious because they are willing to pay for an empty seat just to maintain the illusion that they included me.

Good advice from Arthur Schopenhauer.

I can relate to Nietzsche's sentiment. I'm keenly aware of the manipulative psychological games people play in social groups to mold others for their own purposes. Although I once participated in these games, I never truly believed in them. When I stopped pretending and embraced my true beliefs, I faced ostracism from most friends and family. Surprisingly, this rejection has been liberating. While I still care about them, they can no longer control or dictate my beliefs, and they resent me for reclaiming my autonomy. View quoted note →

Those who dismiss every alternative viewpoint or question that challenges the mainstream narrative about recent events are not defending the truth based on facts. Instead, they are attempting to censor anyone who challenges their interpretation of events. They have already decided that their version of what occurred is the only reality, deeming any opposing view or uncomfortable question as insane. Ironically, they are the ones being irrational. How can they be so certain that the limited information they have, which is merely a collection of signs and symbols broadcasted through television, social media, radio, and other media, accurately represents what actually happened? It is crucial in times of confusion to consider as many opposing viewpoints as possible. This approach helps prevent groupthink from taking hold of the masses, which can lead to irrational behavior, as seen during the early days of lockdown when people irrationally bought all the toilet paper in stores for no logical reason.
