Time to see how tolerant my followers are on Nostr.

- Decentralized money is a good thing

- We should be doing more about climate change

- Harsh gun laws don't stop violent crime in the US

- Vaccines and masking are effective

- Freedom means people should be able to act gay in public or read books of their choosing

- I don't actually care about your diet, you do you

- Capitalism is the best economic system for the rich

- No war but class war

- Content warnings should be used

- Science rocks!

So if you haven't unfollowed me by now, you're the kind of person I want to be conected with. I can be my entire self, and we can respectfully disagree. Maybe you'll point something out that will change my mind. This is the kind of place I want nostr to be for me. I think it'd be great if that's the kind of place it was for newcomers too.

Getting people to block me if my ideas infuriate them is kinda the point of this post. We'll both be happier if you do. Getting mad and making derogatory comments isn't going to help anyone and it's certainly not going to change my mind.

Great post.

For capitalism, Saifidean makes compelling arguments. Also, Peter Schiff explains free markets in very real terms, often elaborating on how capitalism, the free market kind, not what we have now, is the best for poor people to rise up and change their situation.

For two different views on climate change, recommend the Fiat Standard Price of Tomorrow.

•bitcoin is good

•climate change is a narrative now used to limit freedom more than address any realistic environmental concerns

•stay strapped

•certain vaccines & masks work for specific issues and should never be mandated by governments

•be gay and literate - don’t get fisted in public or groom kids with porn at school and pretend that is the same thing

•capitalism has brought more of humanity out of poverty than any other set of principles - don’t be a spiteful communist apologist

•war is immoral, self defense is a natural right

•content warnings for minors & parental control

•science not tHE ScIEnCe ™️
