You can hodl a diverse set of opinions:

#ClimateChange is real and dangerous.

#Taxation is theft.

#TransRights are #HumanRights.

#Animals are friends, not food.

Markets of voluntary exchange produce efficient outcomes.

Owning a passport is legitimizing borders.

Cantillionaire privilege should be abolished ASAP.

If you don’t have a problem with fascists, I’ll have a problem with you.

All of us were socialized with sexist and racist belief systems and propagate them unconsciously.

#Gender is a social construct, just like money.

Most "Libertarians" are egocentric clowns.

Privacy is necessary for an open society.

#ClimateChange is real for sure since climate have always been changing, but if it is somehow more dangerous than before, then how do you explain that climate related deaths have plummeted 98% in last 100 years? 🤔

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Fewer deaths ≠ less danger.

Past performance doesn’t predict future performance.

21seasons 2w ago

Yeah, but where's the danger comes from if we're all way better of than before when we didn't think there was any danger?

People try to tell me that there's some sort of urgent danger and we need to start war on climate change. I don't see any danger, I see only success and if thinkin about war, stats says we're already leading like 50 - 0 🤔

21seasons 2w ago

You're right, but should we start worrying only if the climate related deaths starts to rise again? For now we've been so good that they've been plummeting for a long time and still plummeting, so there's should be no reason for climate panic, right? 🤔

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

I’m pretty sure these numbers only account for human deaths, right?

Shouldn’t we be concerned about our ecosystems too?

Does their health matter?

I think the perspective portrayed lacks empathy for non human life.

for decades we're building our way towards monotone, life denying environments. the power humanity has on the earths climate is high and we should worry about that we destroy nature instead of building with it because we need it. the earth is rich but limited. the dumbest thing to do is unintentionally exploiting it. humanity would be powerful enough to change the climate for the better too, I think....

the quality of life is shrinking the more we don't give a fuck about the environment

Marcelinho 2w ago

wise words franny … but I didn't see that in our society

franny 2w ago

what exactly?

Marcelinho 2w ago

that someone really cares about our nature and society …. friday for future as an example was a political movement paid from ngos

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Do you know people who do proof of work at Friday’s for Future?

If you did, you’d know that they care. They are just limited in their actions to the systems they believe in.

Marcelinho 2w ago

and there is a lot more …. I think we need more independent education … and we should stop burning fossil fuels

franny 2w ago

independent education is important 🙌🏼 and less monoculture... more green. 💚

Pretty certain male and female is NOT. A social construct. Loving someone of the same gender, does not change your own.. Gender is an anatomy thing, not a mental one.

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Sex is anatomy. Gender is how society interprets that anatomy.

If gender were purely biological, men wearing dresses would be “unnatural” everywhere and in every era.

Yet for most of human history — from Roman tunics to Scottish kilts — it was completely normal. Bodies didn’t change. Social rules did.

OzzyHB 2w ago

At festival recently a friend, very much a straight man, weres a dress on occasion, no one bats an eye, or judges

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Props to your friend, seems to have balls.

If it’s no problem, then go out on a Friday night with your boys in a dress and tell me about your experiences after :)

Because how would you know?

#DontTrustVerify

OzzyHB 2w ago

I've no interest in doing that. Not my thing.. Irrelevant really. Gender is male female, the rest is mostly coping with trauma.

No doubt you disagree, whatever. 1st world problems.

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Yeah, I honestly expected that.

Not your thing is just an excuse to not say: I lack the balls.

Because deep down you know you’d get weird looks and be judged, by other males who are just as fragile.

OzzyHB 2w ago

Gender used to me male female, sex. The term is now bastardised

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Terms may change when morale improves.

Only reactionary bastards are salty about it.

Love ya anyways 🫶🏼

OzzyHB 2w ago

I just think it is avwaste of energy. Headspace, if someone wants to be something they are not, who cares. As long as the don't hurt others, AND don't push it as a natural, normal thing, because it isn't.

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

All oppressive belief systems are built on the three N's:

Normal

Natural

Necessary

Thank you for pointing out 2/3 of your sexist belief-system. Because everyone knows: only monogamous heterosexual relationships are normal, natural and necessary ;)

OzzyHB 2w ago

Not what I said BT whatever

OzzyHB 2w ago

Gender should remain male/female.. Secual preference needs its own term. Not hijack an existing one.

OzzyHB 2w ago

Climate change (global warming originally) is a crock. Environmental destruction and pollution was the original fight, now swept under the rug of Climate change fear mongering

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Pollution and environmental destruction were the symptoms. Climate change is the diagnosis.

Calling it fear-mongering is like saying doctors invented cancer to distract from smoking.

OzzyHB 2w ago

Look at the people pushing it!! While flying private jets, owning massively polluting companies etc etc.. Pollution, a symptom?? That's ridiculous.. I'm all for REAL clean(er) energy, eg geothermal.. I've not seen evidence of climate change on last 40odd years..

Viktor 2w ago

ozz i feel ya on the jet-setting elites preaching while they drown in carbon - total clowns.

but "haven't seen evidence" feels off, definitely feels warmer where i'm at. think we're all just trying to square that circle between like - real clean tech like geothermal is based af, just hate how it's buried under all the climate grift.

OzzyHB 2w ago

I remember much hotter weather as a kid. The worst heat waves in Oz were over 100 years ago. Also as areas of bush get cleared, to build more houses, those areas increase in temp, as the plants aren't absorbing the energy, and concrete etc radiation it back out.

The Suns output, the earth's variable orbit of the sun (yes, we do not follow a fixed orbit, as it wobbles and changes due to other planets gravitational pull on earth). Also the fluctuations of our magnetosphere will have far more impact on our climate then we ever will.

Viktor 2w ago

yeah those orbital cycles are a classic swing - milankovitch cycles are wild, but the problem is the *rate* of change happening way faster than those cycles account for. same with solar variability - it's actually been pretty flat/declining last few cycles, yet temps keep climbing.

like... concrete jungle heat islands are real af, but satellite data shows the same warming trends in the middle of nowhere too. feels like the sun/orbit argument misses the timing - natural cycles take thousands of years, this is happening in decades.

but hey, if geothermal ever gets the love it deserves instead of these corporate green-scam projects, we all win right?

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Hypocrisy doesn’t falsify physics. Bad messengers don’t make CO₂ stop trapping heat.

Pollution is a symptom — climate change is the systemic risk that shows up when you scale it globally. The data over the last 40 years shows rising temperatures, ocean heat, and extremes whether politicians fly private or not.

That’s exactly why I like Bitcoin and geothermal: decentralized, verifiable systems that work even when elites don’t, which is why we need to empower the individuals.

Viktor 2w ago

theres that classic dodge - when the message is inconvenient, attack the messenger while ignoring the data. classic.

agree on geothermal tho, that shit's based - harnessing earth's literal core heat without the fairytale greenwashing. and hey, both bitcoiners and enviros want decentralized, permissionless energy... just happens we both hate the same centralized power structures lol

Marcelinho 2w ago

#Animals are friends, not food - I think it is necessary to treat animals well, and it is also ok to eat meat responsible!

If taxation is theft … (which it is!) there is no right way to get rid of cantillionaires

I was not socialized with sexiest or racist belief … My parents told me to treat everyone the way I would like to be treated myself

Gender – You are born male or female, or perhaps both... but it is your right to be whatever you want to be.

Enjoy your life in Happyland.

Here’s a book if you want to come to wonderland. :)

Marcelinho 2w ago

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll get the book

Marcelinho 2w ago

These are my thoughts and concerns about the book:

1. I distinguish between activism and scholarship … in the book, normative assumptions and didactic exaggeration outweigh verifiable evidence

2. The structural argument is presented in such a way that individual disagreement is quickly interpreted as defensiveness. this makes the position difficult to discuss

3. I see a risk in collectively assigning moral responsibility to people regardless of their concrete individual actions

Can not understand why this book is so overhyped - but maybe it’s just me

the wise rabbit 🐰⚡️ 2w ago

Yeah, I share some of your concerns.

Out of curiosity, are there books you do find convincing on this topic from a more scholarly angle?
