So every army would get weakened evenly if nobody would pay any taxes. Gov's would have to sell the war every time so well that people would pay for it. That could lead to less war 🤔

Oh, indeed, people across the globe could alltogether negotiate to do a certain thing honestly and play by rules and if one dictatorship country decides to not behave then the entire world unites without hesitation immediately
Yeah, that's called Bitcoin
Got it. And the reason why rusia is allowed to commit genocide in Ukraine for almost 2 years is because there is not enough bitcoin adoption, right?
And if Ukraine would stop paying taxes, therefore it would not have any military, then its borders would be protected by an orange protoss shield wall built on bitcoin, right?
what do you think would happen if the enemies of the US (and there are many) found out you were no longer spending money on your military? maybe they'll disband their army too?
The question was if everybody stopped paying taxes. That would mean that also every other countries armies would be weaker.
So every time there would have to be reasons good enough to kill that ordinal people would voluntarily finance the war. I guess that there would be less war and wars would be much shorter 🤔
You want to believe everybody adapts bitcoin eventually because of the game theory but you chose to ignore the game theory in violence
I know normal people want to believe that everything bad (esp wars) are happening because of some mysterious THEM — those who brainwash people and force them to go wars
But reality is much simpler — there are a lot of regular people in the world who prefer to commit violence instead of playing by some established rules (go to the office, grow some food, painting etc).
And no amount of changes to the tax and monetary policies can’t remove human nature from the equation — there always will be people who WANT to commit violence. And THE ONLY cure from that people is also VIOLENCE unfortunately.
And violence always progresses so something like “mutually assured destruction” is the only concept today that tends to limit violence progression. Yet its not a perfect solution but we don’t have anything better.
No changes to the rules can stop those who do not respect the rules
You're right in a sense that some people are bad and do bad things no matter what, but overestimate the number of them.
99.9% of the people I've met are wonderful and awesome human beings, and data seems to support it.
Good people do bad only if they doesn't have any choice(i.e. almost anybody would steal if they're starving). #Bitcoin empovers people, give them the choice. Wherever it's adopted, it will reduce the violence significantly.
I wish I could share your hopium in humanity but almost for 2 years 140 (10
In fact, but precious were not as massacre as those 2) millions of people want to destroy my country and every citizen who does not obey completely. And millions worldwide support them with either silence or neutrality or even better—conspiracy theories like “govts are bad”, “its all US” etc
I sincerely glad you live in environment where 99.9% of people are good, but unfortunately thats just your bubble. And the worst part here is that 10 people with weapon can annihilate millions of good people with bitcoin economy and vegan food
This is the photo from Northen Saltivka (district in Kharkiv, I lived close to it).
These destructions were made by grenade launchers, russians were standing a few kilometers away from the city at the time. this damage makes no military sense, they did it because they could, to intimidate, maybe just for fun.
How do you see bitcoin can fix that?
Yeap, and thats the exact reason for a relay name btw (https://github.com/viktorvsk/saltivka)
I know ) I found your relay on nostr.watch and understood that it somehow related to Saltivka.
