THEY NORMALIZED ALL THIS DYSTOPIAN SHIT SO DAMN QUICKLY AND MOST PEOPLE TOOK IT WITHOUT RESISTANCE
The pandemic killed my soul in this way. No one actually cares.
Correct, it’s very hard mentally but we have to push for this not to happen 🤙
Same, until I found Bitcoin in 2021. Although I still believe that not everyone is going to make it, seeing that there are people in this world who value liberty gives me hope for the future
Even though I lived through it and saw it with my own eyes I still can't believe how many people just jumped on that shit. I lost illusion about so many people I thought I know well. And I can't unsee it now. https://nostr.band/note1xreg70zjxs2w0mzzefh25pm0zm822ta7alk55xw9d7t5pxlq887s6h46u4
Domesticated And Dependent
We will find the tipping point soon enough
It's crazy. In the 80's we jumped on planes without even having a ticket. You paid on the plane. I think that maybe we went through a metal detector but you ran right through it and there was no baggage inspection. Now I have to present ID to buy cough medicine.
Sounds like we need some sort of great reset.
Good points. Ask yourself why you didn't bring up any of the radical cultural and social normalizations that have happened and are happening as well.
Some things are positive though Bubby I’m just commenting tbh cos your name is cute but things like promoting human rights for equity/quality of life for people isn’t negative…you freedom fighters have to remember there are many different types of freedom that are valid, you need to not close your minds and associate very valid things with political sides
It's truly something for sure that most simply don't understand. #BTC #Zap #Nostr #Bitcoin
Just waiting for when others see it's gunna take all of us standing peacefully armed for change to come. Words arnt enough anymore.
I’m old enough to remember when people could still just exist.
Respectfully said, humans always human & history shows that rich have always ruled over the poor. When looking at WOMEN LED countries and dynasties there was spirit of oneness & FAR more peaceful, equitable outcomes. Granted, toxic masculinity has reigned too long. Rise of Divine Feminine and LOVE will save humanity. Stay balanced. Use your brain but listen to your heart. Once you connect them … that real power 💜
But if you are of the old world; I did my first international trip alone in ‘86 I was 18, you pine for the good old days…in 2001 everything changed after 9/11. Everyday I fight so my kids can have the same freedoms I had. Most normies think I'm Insane…GOOD - well behaved women seldom make history! Without liberty there is no quality of life. I teach my kids what I was taught by my parents and grandparents; to stand up if things aren't right! There is MORE of us than them. NO FEAR - JUST FREEDOM. Thank you @ODELL you are one of these rare humans who ride or die daily! 🙌🫡🧡
Imagine not knowing you live in a fiat debt spiral....
This has likely come to be, because those who have been entrenched at the top of the wealth ladder, have had more time and resources to secure(together) their positions through exercising the power of that wealth. Which allowed them to come up with many clever ideas, such as getting their slaves incorporated at as young an age as possible as an essential component of staying alive on average. Let us just say at age 16 with social security(but it goes deeper really to birth certs and ecclesiastic law under commercial states/estates etc etc) But never mind the securing of bondage/slavery. They were smart enough not to exclude capturing the minds of their slaves through the school system. Which is why I once had the idea to try to build a computer game or minecraft community/server, which simulates law and jurisdictions, in order to teach children how know how to protect their estate purely from playing an mmorpg of some kind. Maybe someday i can do this on Nostr, and less likely to get shut down. Considering the relays, it may be possible to have experts play the role of judges and gain zaps or whatever, while sucessful players get to keep their estate(sats? i dunno..) or the judges and attorneys will take pieces of it through soliciting. Anyway, you are correct, that it is not enough try to halt a wave with a surfboard. We have to get in there and start moving the seabed, trammelling new undercurrents to suck the momentum of these waves and slow the tide. With the uncensored network, it might be one of the few chances left to make educational games that could truly educate fast and efficiently, to turn the tide. Play is one of, if not the fastest, way of learning.
I'm old enough to remember boarding a plane without taking off my shoes, talking to people on a phone without being recorded, and paying for things with cash.
Walking with someone to the gate to watch them board the plane and say goodbye 🥲🫂
Those were the good ol' days.
I was 16 when 9/11 happened. And I have seen nothing but the erosion of our civil liberties in that time. I would be genuinely worried for the mental health of those who wore tin-foil hats before that event. They must be considered guru's by some and a danger to the state to others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXYswf3lzU8
I have a feeling that this is all done, slowly, meticulously, and in the shadows... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhPx9QdzNpA
There must be something we can do about this, surely?
And everyone can change this or subvert it at the least nostr:nevent1qqszes07q9x2u9nn7l8vqk68vqn2vvxql3v7mh6phcdtegkzx3ym4jcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qyg86np9a0kajstc8u9h846rmy6320wdepdeydfz8w8cv7kh9sqv02gpsgqqqqqqsklug0f
