This really is the ethos on NOSTR that the post was about. People are acting like they’re in the same situation as Jews in Nazi Germany!
That level of fear is ideal if I’m the State wanting to crush dissent and keep people from standing up.
The irony is the more people have this fear, the greater the likelihood the State is emboldened to cross line after line.
You have this freedom technology now. Use it openly. nostr:note1u89lmewh6j0ntegeepew2mvm42fe090kc8samwd9ry22xgry7tkqnd2lsf
the real name using US boy will not be happy later in life when his job application gets rejected because of an old statement about gender politics
LOL, imagine living your entire life terrified because of what a potential employer might think of you.
The hubris coming from the older generation white male who has already attained the heights of their professional career and has social security (and had the opportunity to passively yet perfectly time the public equity markets and housing market ponzi) is oozing from this post.
For most young white dudes trying to compete in today’s “market” the odds are stacked against us no matter how much we contribute to our fiat companies’ successes. And, as it’s always been, those in power make the rules. And the rules today are less meritocratic than they were 30 years ago.
Tools like bitcoin and Nostr bring about a return meritocracy … albeit in the digital world. For most, we’re still working to achieve financial freedom and personal sovereignty in a fiat system that we perceive is actively persecute us.
If the younger generation wants to share ideas we believe are right but threaten the power of the undeserving powerful, it is smart for us to let the ideas stand on their own merit.
Even the founding fathers had ‘nyms they’d use to be edgy and honest on key issues and/or personal attacks of those with power. Free speech can be more powerful when it is independent from the person who reveals it.
I agree your generation has gotten screwed. But hiding and sucking up in person, while shitposting behind an anon handle is not the way out IMO. Stand up for what you believe. Work for people who won’t fire you over dissent.
If your options seem like (a) suck up and be quiet; or (b) go without work, find option (c).
“Work for people who won’t fire you for dissent.” …that’s the problem of your position
The highest salaries are offered by the companies who *do* fire you for dissent. We’re currently in an economy with outrageous equity multiples … almost all of the small operations where one could “be themselves” have less security (salary) and are almost undoubtedly going to be less valuable (equity) in real terms going forward.
A major correction must happen to enable the professional situation you. Bitcoin and Nostr help to bring about this correction. But in the meantime we meme with ‘nyms to expedite the change.
If you want to work for Google and keep your mouth shut, then work for Google. But I’m not going to stop advocating for people openly speaking out for what they believe because you want a Google salary, and they won’t let you.
Hey!! but think about this - I am stacking more bitcoin (!!) while openly speaking out for what I believe in (nostr!!)
you just want to know who I am. And you don’t have that right.
When did I say I had the right to know who you are, or that I wanted to know who you were particularly?
Did you even read the initial post to which you’re responding?
I’m just encouraging people to have courage rather than kowtowing because Google might not hire you.
And you are not openly speaking out. You are speaking out while hiding in the shadows.
Can you stop inserting kikery over and over again into discussion?
You faggots are sorely mistaken about the weight of kikes historical failures. Not the greatest persecution, loss of life or the Promethean progress by a long shot. Just the worst math errors.
