Nostr Web Client

You do realize that arguing in favor of getting rid of the gates for the past fifteen years was called "racist" or "privileged" right?

Pretty much. I was bullied en masse by the black and trans community and called "racist" just because I discussed decentralization of AT Protocol or inverted colors of my avatar.

But you think the solution is to flip sides and embrace white supremacy? That's just the same institutional logic with inverted colors. Today's victims becoming tomorrow's oppressors doesn't break the cycle - it perpetuates it.

These people aren't evil - they're institutionalized. They're doing what captured institutions train people to do: use identity as a weapon to enforce conformity. But the answer isn't to build the opposite institution with the same weapons.

I'm an anarchist. I don't want to win the game of institutional power - I want to abolish the game. No hierarchies. No sides. No gatekeepers of any color telling anyone else how to live.

No. I'm saying that meritocracy will always be labeled as "white supremacy."

These people ARE evil. They have earned repercussion for standing by and or upholding evil principles.

You can't just magically paint them as victims of a system.

THEY ARE PART OF THAT SYSTEM.

This is the same logic as "I only made the door handles for the gas chambers"

Would you be arguing in favor of forgiving them for being institutionalized? Or is that *different* for some special fun reason that you have saved up for fancy occasions?

Ok but the likelihood that your little anarchist dream (especially in a multicultural society) is going to remain in fantasyland and never come to fruition is VERY high.

I can almost guaranteed that there will be a dominant culture (at very least) in every society you choose to reside in and that culture will dictate certain rules for other people.

So really talking about your *wants* here doesn't really get us anywhere.

So why are you on Nostr?

You're arguing that dominant cultures will always impose rules and anarchist dreams are fantasyland - while using a censorship-resistant protocol built on exactly those "fantasy" principles.

Same for Bitcoin. These tools exist because people refused to accept "hierarchies are inevitable" and built alternatives into working code.

You're already using infrastructure that only works because it rejects the very principles you're defending.

Are you saying that UNLESS I agree completely with anarchy being the ONLY solution to current problems then I shouldn't be on here?

Who made that rule?

I park in parking lots that are designed poorly all the time. Why're you saying that because I use something I must share YOUR principles?

You're strawmanning. I never said you need to agree with anarchism to use Nostr.

I said the opposite: neutral infrastructure doesn't require ideological agreement. That's what makes it neutral.

Who made that rule? You did. Just now. By trying to force a false choice between ideological purity and hypocrisy.

Wait ok. Let's go back. You think I'm creating a strawman because I questioned what you said? You asked why I'm here.

What exactly do my choices have to do with there being A dominant culture?

Or did you ask about my choices to create something for you to argue against?

My choices are irrelevant. I don't belong to the dominant culture. But we both know that there is one.

So. Maybe stop projecting.

I dig what you said about the people being institutionalized. That's my general sentiment. How can you keep it the republic is And we cant escape the current system until the 20% that is not fully hypnotized builds a better system.

All the while we must keep in mind that there are individuals who are genuinely bad actors from all stripes and at all levels.
