I just had an interesting conversation with an Australian guy who was in favor or linking IDs to all online interaction. Outside of that moment we were pretty well ideologically aligned on so I was surprised to hear him say that.

It turned out he just didn't believe the Internet could be orderly without corporate or government controls.

Purple pilling can run deep. He probably won't join nostr, but his perspective shifted somewhat once I explained voluntary WoT and told him about nostr.

What we are participating in here matters.

Australia is completely full of midwit statists

ain't that the truth

This guy is actually pretty bright, but he'd clearly taken in some propaganda that hadn't been challenged until today.

I wish all the best and nothing less

I haven't met a single person that actually agrees with any of this.

Even the elderly seem to understand why it's a bad idea.

But Australia like anywhere has a bunch of insane government loyalists and retards with no awareness

And the memes are getting really good as well :)

classic statist

most pervasive religion

It's so easy to switch off when this happens, you did well there.
