Those who pose the greatest threat to our mental stability actually love us quite a bit, for the road to hell is paved with GOOD intentions.

The same energy I want to bring, thank you for the reassurance.
P.S. “ Nostr for beginners” on Nostr World’s YT channel was my intro to the #nostr protocol, thank you for that as well as your insight.
From my understanding, to seek out what is like one’s self, is one of the fundamental human impulses, like the fear of being buried alive. It’s where the collective thinking we tend to define as culture is manifested.
To disagree peacefully, to put an objective grey filter on that which we are passionate about, takes a level of discernment that is often discouraged it seems. Possibly because ppl at odds tend to consume & destroy blindly.
“Woke” 👀 is a perversion of “awake” which is meant to be synonymous with consciousness 🧠
In its inception, it meant to be aware of the implicit biases faced by and embodied by black people👊🏿. It was created in an effort to establish an intangible solidarity 🫱🏿🫲🏾 under positivity among the youth during the Bush-Regan crack 🪨era of the late 80s - early 90s that crippled inner cities to fund South American black-ops.
It’s a word that comes w/ high-top fades , new jack swing, college crew neck sweaters, and wooden peace ✌🏾pendants. The era of shows like “In Living Color, A Different World, & Hanging with Mr.Cooper”. Characters like Furious Styles, the patriarchal figure of Boyz n The Hood.
Sadly, it’s become a manifestation of demagoguery, a proxy for racial tension & a means of virtue signaling for cheap praise by people outside of the culture it was made to protect and guide.
