In bitcoin, the miners and startups, if sufficiently short term motivated, can be tempted to fork the system at the detriment of pleb hodlers. Sovereign node running is an immune function that prevents that.
In politics, the government, if sufficiently short term motivated, can be tempted to fork the system at the detriment of productive citizens. Sovereign individuals owning firearms is an immune function that helps prevent that.
Does it need to be firearms? Switzerland has good democratic tools that serve as an immune function for that, maybe that could be another way.
Don't the Swiss got guns?
They do. But from inside experience I can tell you that they consider the democratic tools the ones the care about, much more than the guns.
I would love to believe this, but everyone knows it's not true. It's just a question of one law getting passed, and that's it. Just like in New Zealand, 90% of Americans would simply hand over their guns, if it means that's the only way they're keeping their social security.
I don't doubt a large amount of folks would just roll over, but I already assume I'll never see a cent from SS, so that's hardly a threat to me 😂
It’s not enough, but it’s important.
It’s the citizens duty to overthrow corrupt governments.
What good is a law when the government passing it is corrupt?
So u mean if bitcoins miners and dev are capture, individual nodes are imune to theirs actions ?
im talking about cuckstream.
