 Most won't be able to handle the free speech on #Nostr.  

They have lived their whole life in a world where their ideas have never been challenged.

This is probably the biggest impediment to success here.   Most don't want the freedom. 
 People think we're headed toward communism; we're already there.

Another liberal admin will just strengthen and embolden.  Start telling people what they are; communists. 
 I don't believe Trump is a republican.  The left is dying, the republicans are the new left and we're birthing a new political party on the right.

Fitting you post a pregnancy test. 
 Not sure we have a name for it yet.  Something along the lines of nationalists.  You're seeing it in the EU as well. 
 Strategic bitcoin reserve or bust.  There is no alternative.  Countries that do not adopt will fall. 
 The Left can only exist in a vacuum.  The mask will fall if too much truth comes out; behind the mask are authoritarians they always have been. 

There is no truth but power nostr:note1528m37u3g7d5p6cdt3zlt429qa9un3e7whgm0r3r8d6c6d2tjjgsprurvz 
 Conservatives: I spent years building this beautiful Lego house

Liberals:  I'm doing to destroy it because I like the pile of bricks better. 
 I won't go along with you shared delusion.

 Convert it to corn because burning ETH doesn't not matter if they can always create more.

 These things have been deliberately destroyed by the left.  To retain power they must be the sole source of Truth.  They do not want the competition.  

The right is also culpable for not defending them better.

It's hard to build when there is a group hellbent on destroying culture. 
 The leftists are getting the perfect 1984 society they have always wanted. 
 KYC social media the same way you KYC your bank account.  How perfect. 
 The mask is off.  The only votes left for them at this point are from the uninformed.  Exactly the votes they want. 
 The global south will begin to look like previous generations of the untitled states; not very diverse, strong culture and traditions.  The western cultures will start to look like third world countries.

The West will essentially have a wealthy class and a peasant class.  It will be communism for the peasant class and capitalistic abundance for the wealthy class.

 Left:
Absent authority, Truth does not exist.

Right:
Truth exists, absent authority. 
 3) Truth does not exist 
 There is a reason the left watches msm; because they equate legitimacy with truth.  "NYT is truthful because they are a big legitimate newspaper"

The right reads zerohedge because they equate truth with legitimacy.  "Zerohedge is truthful because their content in the past has been truthful" 

Big difference. 
 1) There is no Truth but power

2) There is no power but Truth 

Is it  "Don't trust verify" or "Don't verify trust"?

This is the left / right paradigm.

The left can only exist in a Truth vacuum - the truth spoken by power.  With the existence of the internet the left will inevitably crumble and a new party will form.  This is the political strife we are experiencing. 
 Because the political Left cannot exist without their Truth being the only Truth.  The left can only exist in a vacuum.  The internet ends their grip on power. 
 1) Power yields legitimacy

2) Legitimacy yields power

Most of all the societal reactions observed in the past 5 years can be explained by this simple matrix.  

If you answered 1, you're a liberal.  If you answered 2, you're a conservative. 
 The right is a fence post.  The left is a rabid dog tied to the fence post yipping, barking and trying to chase every bird, car  and bike that passes by.  One is grounded the other is manic. 
 Correct.  The point is that conservatives maintain values and culture while progressives attempt to tear down that culture and establish their own.  At all costs; even at the cost of the entire country existing. This is why the child parent analogy is spot on.  Essentially the children are running the country and it's possible -and in many respects we already have- you lose the country completely.  You lose it because the left stops at nothing to establish authority and enforce their edicts.  

Progressive "values" which there are no values - it's just current thing, flavor of the day; have completely destroyed western culture.  This is why there is no structural basis to the left and there is no truth except power to them.  They have no moral binding besides what they *feel*.  There is no allegiance to a country or a history it's simply allegiance to their own feelings. 
 Conservatives are completely responsible for maintaining the culture and values of a country.  This is why so many of them talk about the constitution and having strong borders.  The left is hell bent in Europe and the US to completely ruin nations in order to keep power.  They have allowed millions to immigrate in order to destroy culture.  On purpose, by design.  

This is why I say, to the Left - there is no truth but power.  There is no legitimacy besides authority.  And they must be the authority at the cost of everyone's wellbeing.  We're witnessing it live. 
 What distinguishes progressives from conservatives?

Progressives exhibit traits of subservience,... 
 The difference between them is the the right believes truth is power the left believes power is truth.  

You cannot argue with leftists about facts because they hold no legitimacy unless they are attached to power.  One believes truth brings legitimacy the other believes legitimacy brings truth.

One is grounded in logical thought the other solely exists in emotional realms.  

You have adults who think like adults and you have adults who think like children. 
 There is absolutely NOTHING on the Harris website about policy.  It's mostly word salad and accolades.

If you didn't think people were just blindly voting now you know.  Policy is dictated by *current thing* and puppet overlords.  Very telling. 
 Most likely by design tbh 
 GDP is such a nothingburger metric. "Consumption" and "investment," whether personal, private, or... 
 It's also on its face impossible to measure.  You can estimate or guess but it's akin to measuring every blade of grass on your lawn and adding them all up to see how much your lawn grew. 

It's mostly made up along with the employment numbers. 
 Kamala is better for Bitcoin than trump long term. Trump people have high time preference.  
 Yes Kamala expedites hyperbitcoinization

The equity / equality plan will make 95% fiat slaves and the bitcoiners ironically wealthy. 
 The "vote blue no matter who" crowd just might not be critically thinking. 
 This would be hilarious.  The lefties brains would melt with who to fall in line behind. 
 Monetary debasement directly correlates with authoritarianism 
 The left is embarrassing, everyone globally laughs at them.  🤡

 What's your favorite exercise with them? 
 Roger that will give them a try. 
 Convince everyone they are oppressed and only voting a certain way will save them.

Thankfully we can opt out of the grift. 
 It's okay he's our resident communist.  The cognitive dissonance is slowly breaking.  Give him time. 
 Kamala is a far left extremist.  Trump is a traditional democrat.  Goes to show how far the media has dragged everyone into voting for a socialist. https://image.nostr.build/a9cf1efb768f767589cf09789dce9413ecac90f0191e9935d5ef8b37ca0ac046.jpg  
 By your own definition trump is a "former democrat". That mens Kamala must left of that.  Correct?  What's further left than democrat?  That's socialist.  Kamala is spot on socialist.  ✅

 #Bitcoin is mass psychosis the same way gravity is mass psychosis. 
 Nelk had Trump on their podcast while the US Pravda team was still trying to wipe his name from the internet.  YouTube blocked and took down the interview.  You're severely misread on this.

Not a huge fan of any of these influencer guys but you're head is somewhere and it's very sandy.  You realize the left are the Stalin types right?  They are the ones doing the banning.  This is severe TDS. 
 Mempool says everything is fine in the #Bitcoin market 
 Remember all those Joe Biden political Ads?  Swept right under the rug. 
 Harris was always the shoe in, that's why Kennedy wasn't allowed to run as a Dem. 🥸 
 If it wasn't about putting a useful puppet in the place of president RFK jr beats Harris hands down.  If the Dems had a legit convention RFK is the nomination.  But they don't so they install who they like.  

RFK is this years Bernie Sanders. 
 Don't forget the leftists are closet authoritarians.  It's their way or they will destroy the system until they do.

Voting won't stop them, stacking sats will.
