 i say that he is traumatised by being assaulted intensively by fallacious argumentation by wokester assholes during the lockdown days

jesus says turn the other cheek

i almost  want to analyse your post to see where it is manipulative but i'll just leave it aside because my first received message from it was "fucking circle jerk nostr insider wankers who think they are special and never engage"

well, i have seen both pablo and fiatjaf actually have meaningful conversations with me lately so that part is changing, which i am pleased about

but then i read about how others interpreted it to be about dive bombing X influencoors who just post shit and don't bother interacting, and i'm like, ok, yes

that was highlighted by @cloud fodder when he posted the meme about write-only relays, which i thought was pretty spot on, so that's three different angles that came at me in one afternoon

i think that it's all fun, and i hope you all keep hating each other to the max forever and ever amen so we never feel like we are comfortable or safe here

because that is a very bad mindset in a house of mirrors full of people wearing masks 
 I'm muting him. 
He clearly knows nothing about me and he's having some sort of moment.

 yeah, everyone discovers everyone else gradually

you gotta do what you gotta do 
 He will now ignore me even harder.

And I will no longer market his product. which he never noticed or appreciated, anyway, so he won't miss it. 
 yeah, i think you tickled a funny bone with the "there is no nostr elite" point right at the end

that's the one that was most accurate but least discussed, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and survivorship bias

it is the most unspoken thing by the elites, always, that's the last thing they want to do is acknowledge they are set apart even though everything they do sets them apart

anyway, it is a really big stretch, IMO, to assert that this point is manipulative, because it's the thing that causes the most visceral reaction in individuals who match the rest of the profile

anyway, he'll get over it... he always was the least pretentious of the cool kids club 
 Denying that there is a hierarchy, when we can map it from the public data set, is ridiculous.

And complaining that some of the people higher in the hierarchy are too aloof, distant, indifferent, or self-serving, is as old as humanity.

Bizarre to claim that is Marxism, on a platform full of rebellious Bitcoiners and Libertarians. 
 I also reject the logic of "Group A said X, so anyone who says X belongs to Group A". That is an obvious fallacy, unless you can prove that only Group A has ever said something like that.

That's the same lazy tactic they've used in Germany to denounce anyone critical of CBDCs, censorship, or open borders as "Nazis".
