 Niche communities like this are built on the idea of being an outlier, victim, and  intensely special. 
While  attracting “free thinkers” and deplorable  people that believe that they share intellectual abilities, or skills that set them apart or above with little to show for it 
 lol k  
 What do you have to show for your special pursuits?  fire memes? 
 Dude, being self-aware doesn't give you license to be an asshole. Yeah, great, no one is special and everything is stupid, have a cookie.  
 I’m not being an asshole, I don’t know you nor do I have any strong feelings towards you.  
Just curious at the mentality of the average bitcoiner. 
The nostr community doesn’t see themselves as the blue haired they thems of the world, nor do they acknowledge the predators finding home and community within their ideologies. 
 Because a tool is a tool and what you do with your tool is your business. Predators used to use knives, then guns, now protocols. Asking why we don't protect the tools from our enemies is asking the wrong question. The question is knowing the tool exists what do you do to defend yourself and friends. Anarchy is a personal relationship not something imposed. 
 Knowing the tool exists,  an anarchist does nothing. 
 lol k, again.  
 I’m sorry I will participate In the nostr echo chamber. 
Your memes will bring peace to the Middle East. 
Once bitcoin moons normies will be kissing our feet. 
The government will collapse one repost at a time, and we will be free in the digital garden of Eden! 
 I like to fantasize that the government will come and hug me at night because i'd love it so much. All of those people who live their own lives peacefully and quietly in their own jurisdictions are idiots. I'm super smart because i like to suck cock have any cop who asked me to.( Oh i'm sorry i thought we were just making up shit we think the other person thinks) 
 Where can I barter for land in this peaceful quiet anarchist jurisdiction. Communal living is dope 
 Alaska, and most other uninhabited places. The trade off his self reliance and self responsibility. Build your own shit, protect your own shit, and trade with people who do the same. 
 You cannot say it’s a personal relationship that can’t be imposed while also determining that you would defend yourself and friends. 
 how are those mutually exclusive? please start making sense really fast because this pseudo intellectual schtick is getting old.  
 Because Anarchy isn’t real lol it’s literally just more special boi wildly subjective ideology where people who have all the answers and view themselves as smart get off on joining a group of other snowflakes and being different. 
 This corner of the internet is the equivalent of the safe spaces painted in city squares for the theys and thems  that identify as lamp posts
