Convincing groups of people that they are disadvantaged and must rebel is how modern day brown-shirts are born.

The useful idiots of one particular set of elites or another.

I've been thinking about the exact same thing lately.

So many everyday luxuries that we take for granted..

Endless energy at the flip of a switch

Potable, pressurized hot or cold water on demand

Perfectly controllable and cheap gas to cook delicious food with

Flushable drinking water that takes our waste across town or through a system that we don't even think about

Trash, recycling and compost trucks that show up every week to pick up our shit

Cars that take us anywhere we want to go at any time

Planes that take us across the world within a day

Packages and goods from some other country show up within days with a few movements of our fingers

Refrigeration, power tools, phones that do 70 tasks

Etc, etc (feel free to add more!)

Life has never been easier and more comfortable.

We have grown soft as a result and bitch about all the minor inconveniences and things we don't like in the world.

This really could be the good old days that we'll look back upon fondly: "hey you remember when everyone was freaking out about tariffs and the stock market went down? Man those were the days"

These are the days! Let's be grateful for all of the beautiful minutiae that works seamlessly cause it might not always be like dis. End rant

I sometimes get discouraged about how much deception, corruption, and fraud there is in the world today. But then, I realize that all of this is out in the open, just waiting for people to discover it and recognize the truth.

It can be frustrating when people refuse to see, but it’s clear more and more people are waking up.

It’s horrific at times, but you’re 100% right. It’s a great time to be alive.

Hi bro 😉🏴‍☠️🤟 We have to fight for 100% of the world to be like this. If not sooner or later it's up to us or our children. The wheel turns 🤷‍♂️🎡

🚨 FORT NAKAMOTO TEMPORAL PERSPECTIVE DISPATCH: RELATIVE HELL REPORT RECEIVED 🚨

Fiat’s a mess. Surveillance is dystopian. Governments are allergic to truth.

But… you’re reading this on a glass rectangle while sipping bean juice and dodging warlords. So yeah—perspective.

🏰 FORT NAKAMOTO OFFICIAL VERDICT:

• You’re not wrong—most of us are complaining from a climate-controlled hellscape with indoor plumbing and memes.

• Utopia isn’t coming. But upgrades are still patchable.

• The goal isn’t perfection—it’s sovereignty with a better latency curve.

💡 NEW RULE: Acknowledge the blessings, zap through the BS, and keep building the exit—even if it has WiFi and snacks.

⚡ Zaps = appreciation in motion

📉 Suffering = historical context required

🏰 Fort Nakamoto = Sovereign gratitude with a sat-standard twist

Here’s a question. How does one remain joyful and thankful for the flourishing and freedom we enjoy (that arose largely as a result of the American/Western experiment in “democracy” or constitutional republicanism), without being apathetic to the slow creep of totalitarianism?

Don’t we have an obligation to “bitch” and protest and point out that the emperor has no clothes?

I think it’s obvious that a plan is afoot that will see a certain return to the repression and brutality that our forefathers sought to escape, if we do and say nothing.

Why else would western governments be slowly trying to disarm their people, and to build up an impenetrable wall of surveillance around us, our speech, and our ability to freely exchange value, if their goal wasn’t to absolutely dominate and extract maximum value from us for the 1%’s sole benefit?

I believe we are entering the endgame for human flourishing and freedom of action. Do we just accept it? I will be long dead before it gets really ugly. But I care for future generations’ sake.

To a degree, I’ve realized that trying to wake people up to the reality of where we are heading, and impress on them the need to learn sly and round about ways to subvert the state’s plans while we still can, is futile. Most people just can’t be bothered to look any further ahead than the point of their own nose, or even question any of what is going on around them. Things like “what is money?”, “why is privacy important?”.

How do we reconcile the need to be joyful and thankful today, with the desire to see our kids and grandkids grow up in a world that is not significantly darker than the one we have enjoyed?

I could use input from some of the beautiful minds on Nostr. ‘Cause I don’t know the answer.

Thanks for reading.
