“he/she woke up today and chose verbosity” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue

hopefully, it doesn't come to violence.

Listen to you all the time rarely understand more than 10% of what u say I enjoy it anyway not sure why. I do understand jui jitsu though now I’m fascinated never would thought, I should no better!

Beautiful, Lyn.

lovely poem

Damn.

I definitely appreciate your specificity in language.

I’ve always been drawn to the phenomenological and later post-structuralist definition of violence as ecstasy - namely the capacity of any physical system to overflow, overtake or even negate its own bounds. Radical excess. The dissolution of distinction. Under such an assignation of truth-values, violence can never be chosen. It lies beyond choosing. It is unavowable. Here’s to the ineffable mystery of violence… “cool story bro”

Speaking from experience, I have never chosen violence.

Violent assholes do the choosing when they prey on those of us who they know won't be able to hurt them enough when and if they fight back.

There are violence conducive words, but that's already part of the vocabulary. I believe "threats" defines those.

I feel like we've grown dividing ourselves even more nowadays. In general. Folks are not discussing, disagreeing, debating, attempting to prove points amicably anymore. They are all out war behind the keystrokes, othering each other very quickly by throwing labels and calling names.

This seems to be the tactic of those whose only winning strategy is to label themselves a victim immediately and pointing the finger at the other side, naming them a perpetrator because this "perpetrator" made them uncomfortable when demonstrating or proving the validity of their argument.

To someone like me, who by any set standards shouldn't be alive today, who lived and endured violence of the worse kind; this type of behaviour hurts victims like no other.

It tells you, people like this, either never heard of the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," or did hear it... and they're purposely wearing others down so they can facilitate the wolf's work, helping the wolf by distracting and fomenting apathy in everyone, to keep them from stopping the wolf from slaughtering our lambs.

For the many of us choosing rhetoric, I guess we gotta find ourselves a set of strategies to be able to shield ourselves from being labeled as perpetrators when we're obviously not. We'll have to pick our battles, who we engage with... Learn to foresee (if possible at all) how productive the engagement will be, what is its merit. Because I do believe we can't give rhetoric and discussion up. They're a major part of communication and pillars of the free exchange and expression of ideas.

I sure hope that we don't only get the opportunities to be able to learn, organize and strategize our thoughts and words to improve our winning chances, as we're literally trying to save lives with many of the points we discuss. But I also hope we get to have and keep the platforms that encourage the open and free human behavior of communication and freedom of speech.

This I shall pray.

Ever since high school, when I started studying rhetoric and logic, other people would ridicule it. Equating it to violence feels like a subversive way of making it feel wrong or improper.

There is nothing wrong with thinking for yourself. Sometimes the struggle is against your mind, while everyone around you is telling you to surrender.

Bitcoin is peace loving

I have no doubt you’d fuck Paul Krugman up, both in the lecture hall and on the streets.

Where's your Monero rhethoric?

Motivated after reading this. Also killer video! It’s exactly the education that is needed at this moment in time. I pray it doesn’t drive the love of money but the love of others. Seen too many people fall off their rails in the first year of orange pill. We must discipline ourselves and model that strength and value that will build that better system.

There are so many Coded words now: Violence, Authentic, Safe,

Fuck all of it, I like folks who just do shit and stfu.

fighting for Bitcoin will be mostly protecting what we have. protecting our stacks. not protesting as much as simply keeping our wallets whether the state likes it or not

it's always been the aristocrats. fight them. they were Democrats in the civil war. they were Republicans in Afghanistan. they are Democrats and some Republicans wanting war now
