Incredible - what a time to be alive to see this stuff daily in my feed.
Can you point me to somewhere with lists of mints with any kind of reputation / review?
Many thanks if you get to this..
> it's naive to think that the british and americans and the rest did not have political aims in the jews to palestine
Yes kind of incredible, what I've been reading / hearing, is that both govts, but brits especially, believed in the power of "Great Jewry" and didn't want to risk upsetting them.. A lot of that is from clever zionists whispering in their ears but a lot is the mythology around jews.
Another huge factor is that many christians believe, literally, that palestine belonging to the jews will trigger the 2nd coming of christ - and that those who assisted it will be instantly transported to heaven. These days that includes people like Mike Pompeo with actual visible power - as well as presumably lots behind the scenes. But even in 19th century the most powerful christians in the US - including Rockfellers etc - were lobbying govt to give palestine to the jews.
This is a great article on that, seemed to explain a lot to me.

absolute OG lol, who was the other one??
don't get me wrong, i think its inevitable nostr will take over everything one day (or i suppose something thats basically the same done a different way is poss)
but also i think its a shame for some people they can't enjoy this as it is now - because it won't last long
I think people (smoothies? 😁) just want to follow a large group and will say they believe any nonsense in order to do that, "red" or "blue" doesn't really matter.
Of course this means they don't actually "believe" anything at all, they aren't interested in reality - and to be fair its a lot easier that way.
A court in Germany overturned CJ Hopkins acquittal for comparing current Germany to Nazi Germany.
Unbelievable and yet not.

I feel like "germans" (using a generalization - i treat any individual i meet as acting in good faith) have to have been the same all the way through. I don't think they were really particularly racist etc, they just wanted something to get behind, to express their tribal pride etc and did it extremely efficiently. I don't see how that can have substantially changed - or, at least, how you could satisfy yourself that it had, given that nobody's going to be saying it.
Ironically in this case having a national culture being washed away by mass immigration might not be such a bad thing..
it's genuinely difficult. I just have to mentally wash my hands of them and focus on living my life.
It's very unlikely any of these sheep will ever wake up - but it gives me comfort to think they'll probably be following us some day 💪
Very interesting.
And now I recall reading that actually very few people died from radiation from chernobyl - as long as they had iodine to dilute the radioactive isotope (I131 I assume from your note).
By the way have you seen the Chernobyl tv series? Brilliant.

Mm, so i guess really its proximity to a target that matters. Blast radii rather than strike ranges.
Also its been pointed out to me that radiation actually isn't as bad as you might think:

I have in mind that it's true the "cancer rates were way above.." (although from covid I am very sceptical as to what any such data means or if it can be collected honestly etc) but that the cancer was all thyroid cancer, and very very treatable - so it didn't translate to mortality.
Dunno, obviously, what you're into and not into, but 100% recommend the chernobyl tv series - not really for the historical / technical stuff (though there's a brilliant exposition of what went wrong and the stages of meltdown) but it was beautifully made, and has really stayed with me.
I'm already scoping possible places to bail to.. ..wondering if el salvador is far enough away from US targets.. ..looks a little close for comfort unfortunately
Genuine question I've never understood - why take orders from God? Or a priest?
Its just not that obvious to me why people accept to be overruled by any authority, be it god or govt.
I mean fine if god is telling you to do something you want to do anyway, or agree with. But what happens when you don't agree?
Guys, stop freaking out about ux and whether we are attractive to normies because we are LITERALLY the only hope for humanity and if you don't get that you just need to stop and think about it for 1 sec.
Unless there's some alternative way of communicating and transacting that can't be controlled by evil psychopaths who will DEFINITELY take control of everything that can be controlled, and I haven't heard about it yet.
Why would anyone come here when its just a bunch of bitcoiners?
This has to happen naturally, and it will.
There's literally going to be no alternative when the rest of the internet is getting shut down.
Ok if humanity can't solve that then yeah it's fucked.
Because nostr isn't just some bitcoiners and antivaxxers, it's the only free way of speaking for humans who aren't in shouting distance - the central thread of the whole of future humanity.
Or did I miss some alternative way to escape the inevitable total control of everything that can be controlled?
I don't think they even need bribing. Most people just need to be told what to do, what to cheer, who to hate, and to be allowed to do it in a big enough mob.
Yes, I had many conversations with a friend about how the recent possibility of western missiles being fired into Russia was the biggest world event in our lifetimes - despite the mainstream failing at all to discuss it or report views dissenting from doing it (my god, the insanity)..
..he agrees completely but just isn't that bothered and will go on watching MSM etc
I like the guy but sheep are just going to follow and be happy
In a way it's very enlightened - personally I do take the view that we are all gonna die real soon, possibly to go to "a better place", and that nothing really matters that much..
..but I don't think that's what's going on with these people!
