How I learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Normie | Morgoth's Review
Discussion
You mean the regime-approved manifesto from what was almost certainly a psyop?
Sounds like it might be the same one
Enjoying the take from morgoth on this (podcast I linked to), and find little to disagree with tbh
I think it probably appears as regime-approved/psyop because it's a sort of like an amalgamation of Extremely Online current thing discourses, in the style of JG Ballard's 'I believe in all conspiracies'. The logical conclusion of not touching grass
I'll check this out later, currently doing household chores.
I dont know why, but i would never have guessed a nostrich would be a fan of morgoth..
Next youll be telling me you dated Millennial Woes.. 😁🤣
Lol. I think I'm more of a gifts ungiven guy tbh lol.
I wonder if there could be more of a crossover. I believe MW was funded quite a bit of bitcoin (and crypto) when he got into the mess with press and all that, from his viewers. I think the crowd is generally pro-btc/crypto, but perhaps nostr is currently more for BTC superfans only atm.
I did actually ask on a livestream what mw thought of the twitter-alts, including nostr. And understandably he saw them as 'grinding gears' compared to twitter. Which sorta makes sense, these people are putting forward cultural projects and public discourses and whatnot. Twitter is currently still the place for that, and under Elon censorship issues have been vastly improved.
I get using twitter to gain outreach and spread a change in culture. Its where the people are.
However, and I've argued this countless times, if people just refuse to engage at all with freedom tech in general, then they risk someone else being able to channel or direct any true social change/disent.
Nostr is 90% of my social media use. Not because of the outreach.
But because i believe in the values it represents.
I see what you mean, and I think it is possible these people could be convinced to cross post to other platforms. (Especially something like nostr, which could be a form of back up). But I suppose they rely on donations, the numbers aren't currently here (never mind an interested audience). They'd probably get like 10 likes or something. I suppose it would take something v drastic, like twitter getting banned or them getting banned off twitter. The game they're playing is slightly different perhaps to me or you, I mean I'm just here to hang out, no grander project or anything 🤔
Yeah me too, but for those guys its a balancing act i dont envy.
Damned if you do dammed if you dont.
Like you say, there isn't the audience here in numbers.
But if they don't at least promote it there never will.
Smarter minds than mine can solve this one. 🤣🤣
Lol same.
I get the impression that twitter is good enough and has the audience, sonis for for purpose in that game or something.
I also think that there would perhaps be some resistance to the dominant libertarian views here. Which is not insurmountable if nostr did manage one day to build a wider audience
