“Kindly go fuck yourself” is a term I steal from nostr:npub1mc20uche0cy599vpl850aschpu7wteundgsnf0msep79lu3fu5aq3r4ptv and it typically means that we have an irresolvable ideological difference. It does not mean that I don’t see you as a friend, a fellow human, and someone who is worthy of living freely on this planet.

I personally will never be part of a group atrocity. I refuse to pick up a gun and kill a fellow human who has never harmed me. I refuse to accept that I am defined by some group label more than I am defined by my individual actions and beliefs.

I do react to my base emotions. As you can see, I am very passionate about this. And I apologize if my language made discourse impossible. You’re right for calling me out, I shouldn’t use language to provoke or offend.

If I transposed my beliefs and feelings onto everyone it my “tribe”, I think we could establish peace and prosperity much faster. Unfortunately, I am limited to only being able to communicate my beliefs verbally and economically to others, with the hopes that they will follow. This is one of the downfalls of trying to establish voluntary and peaceful social interaction.

Too many wards gfy 🥴

In a world without institutions to mediate “irresolvable ideological differences” what happens? Does bitcoin solve this?

Depends on what the difference is.

I cannot steal your money based on ideological differences, and I have an incentive to let differences which don’t violate the rights of either of us just be what they are.

I honestly don’t even think we have differences big enough that we need mediation, Bitcoin or no Bitcoin, but on the scale of the entire society, Bitcoin does serve as a tool to encourage peace and cooperation.

The idea there's going to be a mass tax revolt, where everyone stops funding the government by hiding seed phrases in their heads is a cool story.
