And She took that personally!
I appreciate you waking up and choosing to be oddly genuine every day such that it isn’t odd at all, just genuine
Lynn completely drops the hammer non-stop!
I’m calling it right here, right now…(and I’ll be 100% wrong), but the people’s ticket in 2024 is RFK and LA!
Radicalization is a journey, not a destination.
So many things make me angry..the older I get the more I realize in general it’s simply injustice. Sadly the world is filled with it. Thanks for all you do Lyn! You are a great voice and thought leader about global financial shenanigans.
"well let me tell you about my childhood and why I'm not a huge fan of the state." I don't think most people can understand the depth here.
We really need to defund the state. They are too big, and they're our real enemies. It's true everywhere around the world.
Btw thanks for sharing your thoughts, it's pure wisdom.
Lyn is taking on her final form.
I like it.
If going against the narrative defines radicalisarion then it was the inzicht that the monetary system is not fair for all. Not angered about that but I chose to opt out by investing in and educating #bitcoin.
I've also thought that the root cause I don't trust institutions, or pretty much anyone, is my childhood. It also made me a lone thinker, which led to getting bitcoin before many others. It isn't good or bad thing, it is what it is.
Any ideas or suggestions to discover content/accounts to follow? Up until now I've followed the suggested accounts when setting up nostr but it's not much 😏
I'd argued I am not the radical, but simply resisting the radicals that push for the state to regulate everything in life for everyone. In Germany people call for the big guy helping every little problem far too easily. Listening to history and having a hard look around the world should teach us to go the other way and question authorities as much and hard as possible.
Information flow is almost instantaneous, the ability to understand the signal is most certainly not. It’ll take at least a generation with lots of pain
When I heard a story about a Syrian family successfully escaping at the beginning of the war with all their family worth converted to bitcoin & I came to understand bitcoin is permission-less.
When I realized inflation is a policy.
When I realized social media needs to be permission-less as well.

Regarding Xscheme... Same here Lyn! That bird was first in a cage; now it's s dead for me.
Bitcoiners/ ancaps are actually the least radical people. Upside down world.
I lived in a very low tax country and saw how well it functioned. That radicalized me.
1) Strict & controlling parents. I like doing things creativly. My way.
2) Financial crisis 2008 when I learned why my gold/silver lost 30% over night due to regulatory manipulation. And nothing changed.
3) Having to deal with more & more woke cancel culture & clown world, who encrouge into my spaces of Fitness, Nutrition, Mental Health & Science.
4) Covid-Lockdowns & how bad society, family & friends handled constructive debatte
5) Seizure of Canadian Trucker Assets
6) CBDC anouncements
Right now I try to slowly opend up the mind of my conformist girlfriend...😅🤣
It's #information & #education warefare.
Such an interesting question.
To answer: I joined the British Army and saw what they were doing - and that was a long time ago!
Next: What was the benefit of radicalisation?
Then: Where/who will you be in 5 years time?
Least radical, or just nonviolent?
Apparently appreciating privacy and sovereignty IS radical to clown world.
Goodbye X
#Nostr
from a healthy human living in harmony point of view it is pretty radical to:
voluntarily give all your private information and money to slavemasters who gaslight and torture your family,
or to give your childs to complete strangers for most of the day,
or to say that drawing a cross on a paper should give an elect few the power to commit genocide...
seems more radical than any masochist/cuck fetish I could imagine
...but yeah of course any side can flip it to their perspective
The most frustrating thing is that most people seem to actively ignore it. When you tell them that their country’s currency is being debased and the debt is unsustainable they seem to shut down. Can’t tell if they take it personally or are just overwhelmed. But very few want to believe it, want to look deeper. They’d rather continue to seek yield in the system they know.
tldr: violence = radical
Can you help me understand your third thought a bit more?
When asked "What radicalized you?" I think about how I woke up to the violence by states worldwide. Supposed to protect us, these states are instead causing harm and death. Things like money issues, policy shifts, and changes in social media are just more signs of the harm states can do. They show how far a state will go to keep control, even if it means promoting war and hate. This reality made me stand up and question the system. It pushes me to work for a world where peace isn't just pretend, but real.
This isn't just a naive concept, but a documented reality we need to confront.

Governments and payment processors blocking donations to Wikileaks in 2010 was a bit of an Aha-moment for me.
Of course the illegal invasion of Iraq and the (even at that time) obvious bullshit claim of "weapons of mass destruction".
The "political correctness" wave in the 1990's.

He's going bonkers.
Im guessing he'll become to big to not fail.
Hello can you recomend me some Book about finance..
Lynn, you’re Nostr’s killer feature. 🧡🤙
I lived in México as a kid and saw the peso rebranded and lose a zero. Eye opening to say the least.

Answering the question of "What radicalized you", I was studying in Christian university, got invited to a study club, then to some study meetings, and by the end there was a couple talks outside of the university, by our professor about unifying the world under one religion and one government.
Search Baha'i if interested.
At that moment I realized what they were doing. They had a method, organization and a goal.
I was already flirting with crypto and free markets, but after that event I went deep into conspiracies and anarchy, telling classmates about a market crisis coming, WWIII and goverment oppression increasing.
And considering the last 3 years, I'd say I was on point.
Now here I am. A Christian Crypto-Anarchist.
View quoted note →As a follower for some years now, I applaud you, and your work! And as a Norwegian, I hope you'll keep coming back to Oslo, at the OFF.
And yes, I am probably a moderate with a tempered but purposeful element of anti-establishment fire.
Yeah, well, and the first Godfather movie is probably the best ever... ;o)
Prove them wrong.
Nostr and crypto for the win.
For me it was the bank security officer telling my husband "There's some hooker taking only fans payments on your bank account."
My husband got angry and said "you mean my wife taking photos at home safely with no one else? How about I call you a whore for your bank?"
It was Bitcoin all the way after that.

I lived through the collapse of Yugoslavia and it's currency, then another switch to EURos. I can't explain but we all can see how system is constructed to take the most of the low wage people.
That's why I believe we need our own system without any central authority.
I would agree. Why is having a desire to create privacy and freedom radical? Aren’t those the principles this country was founded on? Not to mention eat real food, connect with nature, not by shit from China. Essentially come back to truth but we are the weird ones…
For me it was getting audited three times while not having done a single thing wrong, and being literally coerced a 4th time with something that turns out might have been illegal but that my gov tax authority did to me anyway. My spouse got audited about as many times too. ENOUGH.
Half happy ending: we got them to pay up, in the tens of $k.
Better to fly with the purple bird #nostr
A natural capitalist, exploring its roots in philosophy. This led to Stephen Hicks, then Ayn Rand and Objectivism. It is a guide to life and interpreting the world around you.
My fourth thought, regarding the Current Thing, because nobody wants to go back that far, is, "they replaced a beautiful blue bird with an X and said it would be half of the global financial system."
And that made me angry.
