Iryna Zarutska was from Kyiv.

Pre-war, Ukraine's murder rate was ~4/100k/year. Charlotte is ~12/100k/year.

_Including_ murders by Russian air strikes, Kyiv's murder rate is “only” 8.5/100k/year (~130 killed in the past year).

She was safer in ~100% white Kyiv than in black NC.

...and yes, the reason why I'm even writing this is I'm in Kyiv and anti-aircraft fire woke me up at 5am.

Hopefully no-one died tonight and made my stats out of date... But even then, if she had stayed in Kyiv and went to the shelters during air raids, she'd have been fine.

The problem is the black population. If not for them the US would actually be fairly low crime. Getting US (and western) politics to the point where we accept imprisoning, for life, a significant % of the black population is what it'll take to fix this.

Instead, that psychopath was arrested over and over again for violent crimes.

You said, “Filters = censorship,” and argued that OP_RETURN filters don’t work because some spammers slip through, so just remove them.

Now you call for filtering people out of society.

By your own logic, that’s censorship too.

Maybe start small and undo the censorship of my Bitcoin (hard)Core GitHub ban @esomore.

In real life people have identities. They do not on the Bitcoin chain. And that's intentional.

Bitcoin transactions don’t have identities; that’s the point of neutrality.

But you’re the one who said filters = censorship and argued they should be removed since some spammers slip through.

By that same logic, filtering people in society is censorship, too. You can’t use “filters = censorship” as a weapon in Bitcoin debates, and you can drop it when convenient.
