What's the fascination many bitcoiners have with weird populist politicians like 🇺🇸 Trump, 🇦🇷 Milei, 🇳🇱 Baudet, and countless others? Most often I hear: BuT hE iS a BiTcOiNeR!!!! hE WiLL mAkE pRiCe gO mOoN!!! Who cares? Bitcoiners should believe in themselves instead of following false prophets. (or weird dietary advice for that matter) #populism #bitcoin #toxic #diseasenotthecure

National integrity is definitely important. Less government corruption and control is good, but borders are also important. Look at the shit show going on in the US and Canada right now. Actually all over Europe too. Migration is out of control. Strong national leadership is what the world needs, but true representation, not corrupt puppets controlled by globalist agendas, corporate interests and bankers.

Imagine a world without borders, where people can move freely and explore new opportunities. A world where we don't divide ourselves into groups based on nationality, ethnicity, or religion. A world where we see each other as human beings, not as enemies or competitors. 🌎 That's the world I want to live in, and I think you do too. A world without borders would not only benefit individuals, but also society as a whole. It would foster peace, cooperation, and innovation. It would reduce inequality, poverty, and violence. It would make us more compassionate, tolerant, and open-minded. 🙌 Some people may say that borders are necessary to protect our security, identity, and culture. But I disagree. Borders are artificial constructs that create more problems than they solve. They limit our potential, restrict our freedom, and fuel our hatred. They are the root of many conflicts and wars. They are the barriers that prevent us from solving global challenges like climate change, pandemics, and human rights violations. 😡 We don't need borders to define who we are or what we value. We can celebrate our diversity without losing our sense of belonging. We can respect our differences without rejecting our similarities. We can share our resources without sacrificing our interests. We can coexist without compromising our sovereignty. 🕊️ A world without borders is not a utopian fantasy. It is a realistic possibility that we can achieve if we work together and demand change. It is a vision that we can make a reality if we challenge the status quo and embrace the future. It is a dream that we can fulfill if we dare to imagine and act. 💪 #NoBorders #FreedomOfMovement #OneWorld

Add Bukele to that list ;) I always thought that personal responsibility will never win a public vote against collectivists as the latter by definition are better at rallying for a common cause, so yes, Milei winning fascinates me. All successful politicians are most likely psychopaths and would kill to have things their way so no, I don't trust any of them but Milei in this case got a lot of attention sharing values I highly appreciate. I don't love the messenger but I sure do love the message.
