If your answer to everything bad in the world is “It is Israel’s fault” then there is a significant chance I will have penciled you in as retarded.

Last Notes npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Dust off the old ‘bitcoin is dead’ memes 🤣 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I don't understand why the risks are always attributed into ‘crypto’ either. The day encryption is broken, then everything breaks. If someone honestly thinks one industry is ‘done for’ and cannot see it is wider than that, then I don;t know what to do with that, other than say HFSP 🤣 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid There it is. The Islamic mind is so fragile it gets butthurt when you say words they don’t like. The context is simple. The person I was talking to claims one side defends pedos while ignoring the glaringly obvious. If you cannot accept the facts as the religion depicts, maybe you aren’t as invested into Islam as you thought? Which is it bro? Islamist, or someone able to think for themselves? You cannot be both - the texts forbid it. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid That’s your complaint? I will take it. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I’m not seeing it happen in insurance or healthcare. I can have as many bots as I like, what that doesn’t give me is the regulatory authority to offer the service. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I have never seen any of the old three from start to finish. As a kid in the holidays my grandparents would sometimes have them on in the background, so I have probably seen them all in instalments 🤣 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Marxism rose in opposition to western values 🤣 You are making the same mistake as the chap you are replying to. i.e. because the man lived in a western country, you attribute the term ‘western’ to the ideology. If it helps you understand, change the word ‘western’ to something more comfortable. Something that represents individual expression, where the ‘people’ are encouraged to have freedom of religion or lack thereof, and freedom of speech, where ideas are challenged and debated, rather than mandated from above. Where individuals are deemed equal in law. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid hopefully he is looking into a mirror and asking himself: https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZXJydHNiNGQ0NTEyaGg0M3RnYnBnd2x4YTBxdXdsMWRnYnl5OTBybyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/4Z9fSEFAuxpnlBVWQx/giphy.gif npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I like seeing Tucker have to face his own words. On the flip side, Hamas are open about their genocidal intent. What do the terrorist cheerleaders say about genocide then? Nothing. Nowt. Tumbleweed. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid WORD5 #596 6/6* (Hard Mode) ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟪⬛🟧 ⬛⬛🟪🟪⬛ ⬛🟪🟪🟪🟪 ⬛🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪 https://otherstuff.ai/word5/ npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Nah, it’s right. The term had it’s roots in specifically racial activism, but has evolved to just mean highlighting an ‘oppressed’ class to cheer for - even when it becomes nonsensical to attribute race ( for example ) to it. Today it is a good indicator for someone who’s world view is through the ‘oppressed/oppressor’ lens. You don't have to agree. You do you, but you will remain confused until you see it. The mind virus sees oddities like “queers for Palestine” marches where an openly genocidal force is championed as a force against oppression, and where the perceived oppressed get a free pass. It’s all Marxism on steroids IMO, where everything is squashed into that narrow framework, where all context and nuance is lost/ignored. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid That’s actually a clever one 🤣 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I sense a romance in the making 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I would have to be dishonest with myself. Every day I would know that I am lying to myself, and if the Abrahamic god is real, he would also know I am a fraud. The only way I know to make sense of the world is to try to be as honest with myself as I can possibly be. Ironically that means I have to recognise that for most people, believing in a higher authority or mandate of ‘morality’ and ‘life’ is a necessity. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Awesome, dude. My sister got all of the artistic talent in my family. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Dumb question alert - what am I looking at? ( I’d Google it, but most likely to get an answer relating to animal flocks 😂 ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Ok. good for you bro. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Two are control freaks too - they may claim otherwise, but there is no room for the individual in them whatsoever. It also boggles my mind that whenever I say this out loud, I already know the pre-loaded response - off the shelf so to speak. “I know a Muslim that…..” lmao. or “I know a Brit that…..” It’s the same old story on repeat. You callout the manifestations of a collective ideology, and you get the person they know that doesn’t fit the mold, or lives somewhere so gets allocated a label on location, ignoring the word ‘ideology' It’s like people completely ignore the word ‘ideology’ and start scrambling for the example of an individual that they themselves have labeled. The conspiracy view is that they all read from a script. The scary view is that people are just intellectually lazy and prone to base beliefs on memes and feelings. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid “Extremists should be able to mibilise and army and control a state, it should be challenged” *Complains when challenged* Jeepers, you’re one confused man. Bottom line. They agreed to put the past behind them. Agreed to the terms. Them broke the agreement - this is because it wss never about peace. it was to buy time. In that scenario, stop moaning when they get hit back. They are just being ‘challenged' npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid After all - they are merely being ‘challenged’ right? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Then stop complaining when they get a reaction 🤣 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The day they start calling for the crusades, and control an army, I will be agreeing it needs to stop. How is that so hard to understand? Now. Do you think islamic extremism needs to stop? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Jesus dude. You’ve gone right off piste. So far you aren’t even on the same mountain 🤣 Do yourself a favour. Go and look up the word Hudna. I’m getting bored of the wriggling around from you, dragging the convo to anything but the Jews and Gaza. Literally, they agreed to a peace deal to buy time for another war. the question is - should you complain you lose the war you knew you were always going to start, or should you have worked for peace? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid in reverse order. Ah, I’ve read the bits that the ideologues in control of Gaza follow. I’m pleased you brought up the word ‘colonialist’ Islamic extremism is colonial by nature. Again, read the texts. They do! I’m honestly not sure what you mean. Gaza was returned to local control. Who wasn’t allowed to return to Gaza? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid 2005!! peace was agreed in 2005. remember? That was the question!! Why agree peace if they didn’t want it? Oh wait… We know why don't we? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid It was given to them. literally. The settlers left 🤣 That was the peace agreement lmao. Well, for one side it was a peace agreement for a move to a better future. For the other it was merely a Hudna. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid lmao. Now who is retreating and talking to the ‘readers' Ok, just say you don't want to answer points 1 and 2. For the ‘readers’ the answer is zero. After 2005, all settlers were removed by Israel itself. If you want to read why October 7th happened despite the 2005 peace agreement, lookup the word Hudna. Also read the Hamas Charter and all of its evolutions. Again, for the ‘readers’ for point 3, I didn't ask about lots of places. I asked about the region of he middle east. The answer is the Jews were hated. read some of the Islamic texts o see why. After the crimes in Europe, the Arab states decided to have their own go because they hated the new Jewish state. The king of Iran actually moved some of the Jews to Israel from Iraq ( the ones that weren’t killed. ) Then the Arab nations got together and attacked them. That’s a good starting point. What you will notice here is a reluctance to hold any responsbility of nation states to account for crimes against jews. It’s always some underhand westerner or Jew’s fault. Never the ideology. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid What? Iraqi Jews went to Israel because of Mossad terrorism? The reality is nearly 1 million Jews were attacked, removed from their homes, property stolen, and the only place they could go was Israel. You say Nazism, but it wasn’t. The Arab countries did it. Sure they may have been inspired by Hitler’s plans, but the reality is hey chose to do it. Then, the only safe place to go ( after the crimes in Europe ) was Israel. Then, they were attacked by the surrounding countries. Then, they now face claims of being colonisers and genocidal extremists. There are 20 million of them globally with one slither of land surrounded by 400m Muslims. They must be the worst colonisers in the history of the world lmao. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid IRGC props up terrorist proxies, is the number 1 financier of global terror groups, kills its own citizens, hold its own neighbours hostage, and openly calls for genocide via its proxies - by…. wait for it…. dropping bombs on civilians as a strategy. Not a consequence of war, but an open strategy. And you are out here criticising action against that? Seriously? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Can I suggest something here? if you think the rich people will buy all the bitcoin, you have two options. Standby and watch, or be in it. Lose the poor-me mentality, it is unbecoming 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Sometimes I think we need to hit rock bottom for the idiots to see reality for what it is. Then I slap myself and acknowledge what that actually looks like. In the extreme it manifests as ‘queer for Palestine’ marches, completely oblivious to the intent those they defend have toward them. “If only they knew how much I love everyone, they would see me as equal” Idiots. Useful idiots, but idiots nonetheless. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid https://blossom.primal.net/2242636bafc3e8eb385101c817fd99e3b4553985d105024594dd6a90d651c295.png npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I would agree ( not being a lawyer as a caveat ) that the IRGC has genocidal intent, but I wouldn’t agree with listing the US or Israel as such. Just by definition I don't think it is genocide. The problem I do have with these discussions where one is accused of using propaganda, is that more often than not, we see the language of propaganda from the other side leaking into discussions. I think it is time we all took the time out to ask “why do I think what I think in this subject?” or “Where did that conclusion come from?" npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Yes!! Morality is made up!! We enforce it on each other. I know it is uncomfortable, and you need there to be more, but I promise you, thinking I don't recognise how fragile that is for humanty is not lost on me. That somehow if you point out it is all circular or something I am suddenly going to say “shit, you’re right, that is fragile and circular, that must mean it comes from God” then you are mistaken. I accept it despite it’s fragility. We are human dude. to me, nothing more, nothing less. We can treat each other as we would like to be treated, how we would want our kids to be treated, and place obligation on others to follow those obligations, but I do not accept something higher tells me those behaviours. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid We put the obligation on each other!! Jeepers dude. You are now wilfully ignoring the obvious. You can claim god exists, you can claim Jesus is th son of God, what you cannot claim is my morality comes from God. It’s nonsense. I’m not allowed to covet thy neighbour’s wife, but I am allowed to covet his kids. lol. The truth is we now know it is degeneracy, because we have evloved to know how harful it is. Not because of God. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You’re doing Andrew Wilson again. Yes, morality is something we make up. You don’t like that. It’s uncomfortable for you. It’s still made up by man. I will ask here again as per below. If God decided he didn’t need to say not to covet kids because doing so goes against his image anyway ( or whatever you said ) then why the need to say not to covet the wife? Why need to list houses, servants and donkeys? Would coveting those things not also be against his image anyway? Why the need to list everything men of the time cared about, but not the kids? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid "And you’re still not answering the question. Why does evolved disgust obligate anyone.” it doesn’t!! That’s my whole point. We decide it is wrong, because we evolved as a society to recognise the degenracy. As we understood the impact it has on kids, we decided it was wrong BECAUSE we understood, not because God says lol. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Dude - I asked you to prove my next point, not because I am reaching fo higher authority. lol. Paragraph one is nonsense. No father today celebrates his child marrying and having sexual relations with a grown man. Morality evolved to view it as wrong. We became more understanding of our actions of others, not because it was ordained from somewhere else. None of this is me saying your God doesn’t exist. I have no idea. But I do know my morality does not come from God itself. Which commandment from God says not to have sex with kids? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Are you telling me the fathers and family of said 6yr old girls celebrated the ‘union’ with a man, despite inside being disgusted by it? I do not know which God you worship or follow. Does your God tell you it is wrong? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Wait. Are you telling me that historically child marriage and sex with said children happened, but people knew it was immoral and were disgusted by it, but did it anyway? Their fathers married them off disgusted by what was going to happen, yet did it anyway? You think slave owners knew deep inside it was immoral and wrong, yet did it anyway? God said these things were immoral, yet they buried it under culture or something? You cannot believe that. No way. I can explain that instinct. You just never asked. I’m asking you why instincts and morality change with time? You do not answer those questions. You still haven’t answered who I borrow my humanity from either. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid It shifts with time, of course. Today my conditioning makes me see sex with a child as wrong. Historically it wasn’t always the case. What’s so difficult to see about that? Did God suddenly decide it was wrong? Did God suddenly make us disgusted with the practice? Was it historically immoral, yet God just didn’t tell us? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I borrowed human dignity from who? I am human 😂 Are you telling me you hate child rapists because God says so, or because you feel a visceral disgust? ( I honestly do not know if any religion explicitly condemns it either, which is why I am asking that way ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The slave owners were wrong because we as people recognise using empathy that the suffering and loss of autonomy is undesirable for any human being. I know it is hard to wrap your head around, but that is how it works for me and anyone non-religious. That’s reality. Take sex with a child as an exmple. Why does it disgust you? Because God says so? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I hear that from Andrew Wilson too. The thing I always think is that is the real world. That’s why morality shifts with time. What was moral historically no longer is today. We decide through open discourse, debate, and social interaction what it is we deem ‘wrong’ etc. It’s messy, but it is the real world for anyone non religious. ( I’d argue for some of the religious too. ) When I say murder is immoral for example, I’m not claiming a stance from God. I’m saying ‘people’ that have overlap with the same morality as me see it as immoral, and ‘hopefully’ those views are reflected in laws of the land. Nothing more, nothing less. For me, having an objective morality would be better, sure, but there isn't one IMO. This is the next best thing. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Sounds just like politics 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Here is the problem you will bump into when debating - your position is man misinterprets and perverts the text. People you debate that have no religion will merely say man also wrote the text you live by. Your view would be one text is true, and has one interpretation where all else is wrong. Others would say it’s all wrong, so the resolution comes down to faith. You either have it or you don’t, and the more you need said faith, the more likely you are to find faith. When you bump into that problem, nothing is resolved. One person has faith, the other does not. Maybe in my darkest hours of despair I suddenly find it, maybe not - I will not know until the day arrives ( if ever. ) If it does arrive, I would be as convinced as you, I am sure. Questioning why that hasn’t arrived for me is a road to nowhere, the truth is only “because it hasn’t” npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid ‘some’ religions, and some people are not tolerant, sure. I tried to caveat that in the post. It can be true that some people think their religion justifies heinous acts, or that a few lines of text turn what most would consider immoral, to moral. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Indeed. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid This is why I don’t ever try to convince someone or debate them on their religion now. It took me a long time, but I can see it here too - some people need it. That’s cool. The truth is that it is far better for most people to hold the belief that there is a higher authority that gives them their morality to follow ( as long as it is peaceful and tolerant. ) Religion in the right context can give clarity where there is none, it can give meaning and purpose, and as long as that has boundaries when it comes to others that don’t buy in, then it is a net positive IMO. Go for it my dude. Sincerely. Be a good Christian, and live by example. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The hard truth is that the very thing bitcoiners used to present as a net plus ( network effects ) is the very thing working against NOSTR in general. So yes, it needs to offer something ‘special’ but history must be littered with ‘better’ products that failed for other reasons. This is a niche corner and will remain so until it ‘has’ to be more. That’s my hard truth. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Agitation isn't the word I would choose to describe my state. Disgust is far closer. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Just be honest. You know absolutely nothing about the middle east, and have done zero ‘reasoning’ other than copy what your circle jerk has said. I’d have a little more respect for you if you did. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid But I do know you. The sheep thinking he looks cool hanging around the bully. You’ve done zero ‘reasoning from premise’ other than “Internet says Jew bad - insult Jew" The irony is you accuse others of 'pompous gradiosity' npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Came here to say exactly this. It's just a mistake interpreting it as converting 95% to electricity. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Awesome song. nice post, dude 🫡 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Congrats dude. Been with my wife for 19 years, this year. Not married for anywhere near as long though. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid China I think is what happens when you become insular. They turned inward and ended up being left behind. Now hyper focused on becoming dominant again. Personally, I think the concept to focus on is a feeling of inferiority. The greater your history, the harder it is to accept others overtaking you. It explains far more for me. You need space to self reflect ( on a cultural level ) and the less space and time you have to do that, the more predisposed you are to go full retard. ( See IRGC as a prime example of that. ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid “This is not much of a mystery, easily viewed in retrospect. It’s all about creating a story about a phantom problem to gain public belief and support, only to provide a “plausible” remedy worse than the disease.” Ah. Like blaming Jews for everything? Got it. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The reason they shouldn’t have nukes is obvious to anyone with half a brain. You are so drunk on hate that you don’t know which way is up. Iran is the number one state sponsor of terror, and through its proxies targets civilians intentionally - not as a consequence of conflict, but as a strategy. You think they wouldn’t succumb to their inferiority complex and use it? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Longtime firm believer that bitcoin will not be money until it needs to be. Along the way there will be those that do not see, or seek to use it for fiat gains. It is what t is broski. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I will not convert, and I will not pay a Jizya. Those that insist I do will never be under the same banner as me. It’s time for you to do some honest soul searching and see the views you hold and espouse are sewing the very division you claim to be against in this post. you cannot be united under a banner of intolerance. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The darkest scenario for me is more that the people who think they control it to control everyone else, ultimately find out they are also being controlled by AI 😂 When i am a pet or curiosity, I hope my master is benevolent 😬 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid 🎵 “Purple rain, purrrple rain” 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Which reality am I denying? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Alby hub always logs me out. I gave up on it.😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid And that is the root of the problem. Either an inability or lack of will ( probably a combination of both ) to do anything about it, but complaining when someone else does. The lack of comprehension of the history I see, and lack of ability to look objectively doesn’t give me much hope either. If I see one more person call Israel the aggressor or colonising force, I’m going to check into a hospital - they are literally a slither of land surrounded by 400m Arabic speakers that colonised the countries they now control, and kicked the Jews out of! 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Looks like you picked the same two words and me at the end there, too 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Wordle 1,771 5/6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟩 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I missed the BCASH one, and unless I move coins to an exchange to have them to work out and allocate the forked coins for me ( which I don’ want to do ) how would one go about accessing their shitcoin to dump for bitcoin? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I want my forked coins to dump 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Udi? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Now do the reverse - for intellectual honesty. State what the Iranian game plan has been, and list the failures and successes. I swear, some of you are so lost in weeds, it’s cringe to see. Bitcoiners used to be smart. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid 4d cHEsS npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You’re right. It is Sardonic. I’m retarded 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Sardinic Smile: A term derived from the deadly plant, Hemlock Water Dropwort. In ancient Sardinia, they would incapacitate the elderly people in society as they became a burden on the community. The plant would be ingested by said elderly person, and once the muscles seized up preventing them from resisting, ( and giving them an eerie grin ) they would be thrown from a hight to kill them. We may be asking ourselves why family or ‘people’ didn't protest and prevent the grisly ending, but perhaps it was justified with words like ‘burden’ and perhaps it was seen as a ‘virtuous’ way to go. Perhaps the elderly felt like they were freeing their community from burden? Either way, it makes me ponder the weird mental gymnastics we perform as people to justify intentional killing of another human, while simultaneously being outraged when another is killed unintentionally. Fast forward a a bit, and here we are, with ‘abortion’ and 'assisted dying’ being excused readily, and getting outraged when prompted by the algos. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Dumb question alert - AI agents on a laptop make remote connections to servers somewhere, or they literally run entirely on a laptop? I thought they needed high spec hardware? Am I dumb dumb? 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid A state is a social organisation. I would prefer you to stop pretending it isn’t. I would also prefer you to look at history. Just look at it. Every country in existence was formed by the people in it, or, by another organised group installing one over an area - sometimes including the people, sometimes by killing them or ousting them. There are zero examples of any consequence - if there are any at all - where people have flourished without one. You can call it whatever you want, you can re-iterate as many times as you like. There is a reality, and there is a utopia where everyone shares ideologies and incentives and respects personal boundaries. Much like when the Commies tell me how I just don’t understand how to do it right, so to am I sat here now having to listen to you ignore millennia of evidence that contradicts everything you say could work. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You capture the land and impose your will on them. Like the entirety of history. You don’t capture the state, dude. You capture the territory. There are so many examples of this happening historically, It boggles my mind how people ignore that. Look at the middle east today. A state power attacking Israel, and we think they could fight back if they had no state? Even the Islamic nuts recognise state power is the only way to enforce will. I re-affirm here - states are a necessary evil, even if you think it is only because other people will form a state. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Kind of agree here. As soon as you accept taxes are needed to one degree or another, it is only a matter of where you draw the line. That’s the real world. The other bit ‘anti state’ people miss, is that if you have no state, another will come in and control you - they will fill the vacuum. This is literally the history of the world - weak state or no state resulted in being colonised. States are at worst a necessary ‘evil’ and the only question for me is which format of state I would rather live in. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid You can just do things? 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I don't know why ‘progressive’ politicians seem totally unable to see that the world as we have known it ( free trade on the open seas ) is looking increasingly fragile as time goes on. In that scenario, you want to produce as much as you can at home, or at least very close to the home country. Just from a very basic national security perspective, defending a food supply should be right up there as a priority. To hear the words “we import 80% of our food” without being accompanied by “so we need to decrease that by producing more at home” boggles my mind. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid lmao - I’m stealing that 😂 😂 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The more I see people use the phrase ‘awake’ or ‘based’ the more convinced I become that they are the very people that cannot see the wood for the trees. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid The first one I grab, gets used for everything. 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid No thanks. I will keep my 1980’s transport, with no ECU, and no software built into it that ‘lets’ me lease a feature the car already has, and I can fix myself without having to take it back to the dealership for servicing and repairs. Our company car is a hybrid. it sucks balls. For short journeys EV is cool, but long distance ( at least here ) it costs more per mile to charge on public charging stations than it does to run on petrol 😂 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Sometimes I think the world has been flipped 180 degrees. These very people will consider themselves at the very peak of the ‘humanity scale’ and not even recognise they display dehumanising traits in opinions like that. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I have a question. If you don’t know how the phases of the moon are formed, yet confidently state in a post above that the 'Matrix has you’ - is it possible that it is you stuck in a matrix? Maybe all this time the matrix has you. Stuck perpetually going in circles. ( Excuse the pun ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Socialism in its purest form is state controlling the means of production, right? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid My bad on profits. The problem with these conversations is the term ‘socialism’ in its purest form has no cooperatives, so I assume you don't mean that? If you go pure socialism, it fails catastrophically. If you do mean pure socialism, I am happy to talk through how you think that has made any countries better off? Let’s stat with definitions. Define: "Pure capitalism" Define what you mean exactly by the word “Socialism." npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Start with saving the planet, providing everyone healthcare, and paying everyone a living wage. Then explain how you pay said wages with no profit? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Congrats, FartFace!! npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid 18 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid That, we can agree on 😉 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I view this as bigger than trade. The future will be about ideology IMO. You have a radically driven ideology in one region, intent on domination, and it will need to be addressed. Diplomacy only works if both sides want peace. You can see that much in the middle east now. Having said that, and to your point, don't you think we already trade with each other now? npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid We will be aligned again through necessity ( IMO ) Look at the world. Most of it couldn’t care any less about international law, morality, or ‘fairness’ All of that are things we hold each other to, and make allowances for those not ‘developed enough’ to be ‘one of us’ There has been a lot of pompous vanity in Europe and the west in general for a long time, and it was always going to end. Eventually we will find our way through it and realign with those with the closest values ( where there is at least overlap of said values. ) Just as I knew we would eventually recognise the migration issues, and energy issues, so too will we recognise the rules we play by only work if all players follow said rules. We are past that now. The sooner we course correct, the easier it will be, but either way, we will get there. ( Again, IMO ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Wait… I thought it was only gay if you were the one receiving the man-love, and giver was still straight? 😬 npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid Much of it is self inflicted on ourselves. The US piling on is just the wakeup call IMO. Energy policy - disaster. Defence policy - disaster. Economic policy - disaster. Migration policy - disaster. All of these things are coming together at the same time, and it bemuses me how the decisions taken to get us here were considered ‘optimal’ Sure, the US is like a bull in a china shop at the moment, but the middle east was always going to reach another major conflict. We have been living in a detached bubble for far too long, and the ideologues have been a major part of that. ( I’m a brit. I feel your pain ) npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I do agree, but it is slightly humorous nevertheless. Unfortunately, exactly at the point in time the world learns that 'might makes right’ and not semantics or virtue signalling, is exactly the same time that the ‘mighty’ are setting the stage. It is just a shame we didn’t make sure we kept hold of our ‘might' npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I could try explaining IQ distribution amongst a population not being indicative of one person in said population, but I am not smart enough to articulate it to you. Don't feel too bad for me. Everyone has their place. npub1he5a63ydsetv48u50wrpjy9pmtr268jma6fnn0d3mj93k3khrakq3lg5d3 moid I’m English, you tit 🤣
