I have friends on the left and the right ends of the political spectrum and can see value in both sides of the argument. What I don’t have patience for is: Lying / gaslighting around well documented facts Attempting to censor others free speech just because you don’t agree with them Labeling anything you don’t agree with as some imagined “ism” or “phobic” extension in an attempt to “other” said individual (Alinsky 101) Being a hateful / scared little bitch who would happily use institutional power and weaponize it against political enemies If you fall into any of these categories - we will never see eye to eye. You are the enemy of liberal democracy and more specifically - the constitutional republic that has facilitated the greatest improvement in quality of life in 10,000+ years of human history.
Unfortunately constitutions are just pieces of paper that can't restrain the growth of an institution once people believe theft & coercion are legitimate ways of accomplishing "important" tasks. If only voluntary funding was considered acceptable maybe the growth of our "protection" organizarions could have been restrained. Hopefully the more coercion resistant nature of #bitcoin & #nostr will help shape the world into a better place.
