 First it was the UK
Yesterday, Canada began this crap

**Today, Australia has fallen**

‼️SEE A PATTERN? 👀 https://video.nostr.build/a6115362ff13fde5b1e5a5c202f03806f39d62405bfaee0af9326b0a2a3d28a5.mp4  nostr:note179a4e2wvd4ghrrj5y36luyhx0n76q8339dvcd56p9fjqhydp4x8q0x7tzv 
 that video is basically an advert for nostr. 
 Nostr is starting to look like the most important thing to happen to the Internet since bitcoin. 

I literally have chills … 
 It’s also from 3 years ago 
 Well. 

Unfortunately noted can’t be edited 😅

Consider me the dunce today 😩 
 The goal is to make it more risky to criticise the regime.

 The fuck is going on. 
 Yo. 

It’s about to be lit as F in HUURRR 🔥 
 Most people will just go use Mastodon. They don't even know we exist 😭 
 This will be a slow evolution

We still haven’t seen the next wave of number go up n00bs arrive yet, it’s all coming tho. 

We’re just early⚡️ 
 After trying to use Mastodon they'll make their way to Nostr...  That's what I did anyway. 
 I came here for the bitcoin, stayed for the memes. 

But now I feel something bigger cooking… 
 you can't beat the advantage oft this technology.. as soon as they find out that they have an anonym bankaccount and anonym communication tool on nostr, they will come 
 Didn’t even piece together, the anon-bank account in that wording, but yes, it makes complete sense. 
 As I keep saying, sadly, the entire Commonwealth is toast. 
 Apparently. 
 Australia and Canada both proved themselves during covid to be communist shitholes, so this is not surprising. 
 5 eyes : Communist Agenda 
 8 souls in planet - 5billion internet users
how does ban rule on 28million and 39million users really matters ?
when countries 300 to 500million+ like india china indonesia brazil turkey do it then it matters
 
 I guess I'm just disappointed that western culture is becoming so fundamentally anti-human and wiping itself out of existence.  
 The pendulum swings way too far to the left, and then it swings back to the right. It seems like these cycles are approximately 20 years.

There is always pain and bloodshed

We will get through this 
 Unfortunately what we are seeing is
since the advent of portable information tech,
a 24hr news cyxle becomes possible and the entire population is exposed to propaganda all the time.

I take your point about the pendulum cycles,
but there isn't really any precedent for this. 
 Certainly, having a phone with access to all the world’s information that’s connected everywhere you are…

Game changing and unprecedented.

We’re learning the power and pain points of this tech. But we’re pushing onward while adapting.

It appears real wealth is opting out of this whole mess and returning to humble, off-grid, self-sustaining lands and lifestyles with small communities.

But everyone gets there in their own time. 
 Agree that the ultimate solution is return to localism for sure 👍


But I'm afraid in the short term (next 100yrs or so) we're going to see authoritarian control over populations that don't have the skills to process and analyze the information they're fed. 
 I opt out.

Continuing to improve and aspiring to become ungovernable 💪🏿 
 India and China already have draconian internet controls. 
 Governments love Nostr and continue to advertise for the use of the protocol.

 No. This is from 3 years ago. Not today. 
 My bad. The Australia thing is more recent tho 
 Not a current video of Australia there but still a nice reminder that we are better off just switching to nostr only for simplicity and peace of mind. 
 I’m learning that now 
 Totally not the WEF behind this at all 
 F them 🖕🏾 
 Yea fuck them 
 this is the precursor to adding MAP to the LGBTQIA acronym. 
 I would like to say Canada was first 😁. That news was from a few months ago.  
 Then they fight you
