 I have been listening to the same stuff. Pete keeps saying that Thiel et al are “not interested in me or you” like these palentir and spacex spook fucks won’t abuse us once in “power”

The long and short of it is all of the political moves are pure theatre and the deep capital holders own all of us

Decentralized BTC is the first invention that can stop these fuckers. 

Voting will not do shit

 I understand the idea that the Cantillionaires are taking the money to build a parallel system, but doing it all in fiat makes it pointless.

Quinones is a LARP. He’s like that fuckwit Mike Brock on here who yammers on about being a reformed Ancap because he read some extra books.

Yeah I read some extra books too, I don’t leave Ancap behind but I dont claim to have reverted back to rightist statism simply to wield the power of the current political apparatus like they do. That’s not a real solution, that’s pissweak.

Separation of Money and State is this epoch’s separation of Church and State.

Those GenXers don’t get that because they’re not geared for it. They don’t understand where we are in history, that this is the moment to go forth with an epochal shift once and for all. 

They thought they’d be the heroes of the story but they ended up just miserable grungy cunts who achieved nothing, stuck in stasis between status quo Boomers and a powderkeg of Millennials ready to wield Zoomers to turn it all out.

This graphic is a good representation of where I’m at, and where I’m confident the world is going. The pendulum swinging hard to the right with an Overton window dominated by Ancaps but enacted by people ready to Auth the fuck out of others to get this shift in separating Money and State done once and for all. https://i.nostr.build/NMNpODbLtuAoMPFK.jpg

 Yeah, I still listen to folks like Pete, I like to keep on the pulse of many varied thinkers, but his disdain for what he was is just sad

He thinks being correct is not enough, and maybe there is a lesson there in being pragmatic

But the strong leader he wants is a dead end eventually as the “wrong” leader will burn you

We should all focus on decentralized systems and organizations 

Pete actually sounds like a Marxist now as he needs the state leader Daddy to usher in the golden age and then dismantle the state?!?!
