I definitely believed the propaganda about bitcoin for a long time. Sad.

The difficult part is that folks don’t seem to care about freedom. I don’t think that the average citizen wants the personal responsibility that comes with freedom. They would rather put trust in an untrustworthy government than in themselves. If they fail while the government is their ruler they can blame the government. If they fail on their own there is no one to blame but themselves. It’s a hard pill to swallow. 💔 nostr:note1ceyd5hzrtqtr4z9lndyg6h48dthfakmjys4aed95y8a8fuqz65wsxq9efr

Slandering the people instead of the cause is a common and effective tactic, as you unfortunately know all too well.

Understanding the personal responsibility angle is the biggest difference I see between a teenage anarchist and an adult anarchist.

I like your vibe. Your comments are spot on. What got you into anarchism?

Years back I was very into gun culture. Concealed carry got me reading about non aggression principle and the philosophy there. From there it was an easy jump to realize that most of what my government does I don't consent to and if I simply did nothing they would harm me to get their way. It was probably all the usual suspect scifi, Orwell and Heinlein and so on, that saved me from the Republican simping that most gun nuts end up doing.

How about you?
