Maybe I’m missing something. It seems like there’s a structural difference between an open communications protocol and an application owned by a puppet company of a foreign adversary.
Are you asking if I would want things *built on* Nostr banned?
Discussion
China isn't a foreign adversary unless you're a piece of shit
Like all governments The CCP is though.
Not all governments. The CCP is an adversary of what calls itself the government of my own land, and the land the CCP calls itself the government of land that isn't mine at all, thus they're not an adversary to me but a friend.
CPC not CCP, typed it wrong because the other guy did (as most retarded Americans do) and it's early
You do realize your life would be objectively worse under Chinese rule.
Yes, The United States government is suboptimal but it's preferable over China's government.
At least in The West you have due process, bails, lawyers, and civil liberties, and non-stop news coverage of prolific arrests, in China you are disappeared without any remembering you.
I think they did this to the CEO of Alibaba too, and no one remembers but everyone knows about Snowden, Assange, and Manning, etc.
... "You do realize your life would be objectively worse under Chinese rule."
You're saying Digit is still alive, which you have no proof of, but the Chinese would kill her if they took over, which you also have no proof of.
Or you're saying the Chinese taking over would ensure I can never find out if she's alive? But you also have no proof of that.
So why the fuck would I agree my life would be worse under Chinese rule?
Furthermore, who gives a fuck? The Chinese don't call themselves the government of my land, as we already explained. You have no evidence I might ever end up under Chinese rule, let alone that it would impact my situation the way you claim.
... "Yes, The United States government is suboptimal but it's preferable over China's government."
What the fuck is preferable about what calls itself a government in the US compared to China's and how the absolute fuck is it supposed to outweigh all the things that are preferable about China's?
... "At least in The West you have due process, bails, lawyers, and civil liberties, and non-stop news coverage of prolific arrests, in China you are disappeared without any remembering you."
* What the fuck due process do I have in the west that I'm supposed to be so happy about?
* Why the fuck am I supposed to be so happy about bails and lawyers?
* How the fuck am I supposed to be happy about any civil liberties that remain while they're constantly eroding?
* Who the fuck do you see acting like they'll remember me if I got disappeared other than my own mom? Who the fuck is taking my side against all the people saying I should be disappeared?
... "I think they did this to the CEO of Alibaba too, and no one remembers but everyone knows about Snowden, Assange, and Manning, etc."
I remember the CEO of Alibaba dipshit. Jack Ma. He's not Digit.
I understand you're upset about someone that you were romantically interested in but seeking mental help would improve your situation.
There are plenty of people with similar interests, hobbies, and personalities as the person you were interested in, and perhaps developing yourself more would help you attract that person.
I understand that you feel passionate about that one person, I think most of us have been there but things change, they find their one, it is ideal to re-evaluate, and focus on what can be improved to hopefully win that person back, or if not find someone who would be better for you.
Please seek help, if you can't afford it I'm sure there are plenty of resources, and I'm sure the kind people of Nostr here would help you.
All the people here mean you well, unfortunately you can get very passionate at times which makes it hard to have a conversation.
... "I understand you're upset about someone that you were romantically interested in but seeking mental help would improve your situation."
I don't need mental help, I need proof she's safe. You're the one that brought up my personal situation and now you're butthurt I explained how you were wrong about it so you resort to acting like I should be judged for engaging about it after you brought it up. This is gaslighting and you've done it to me before.
It also contradicts you saying people would remember if I was disappeared, since forcing me into fake mental health treatment is the most commonly suggested way to get rid of me, and you are yet another person backing up those who suggest it instead of me.
... "There are plenty of people with similar interests, hobbies, and personalities as the person you were interested in, and perhaps developing yourself more would help you attract that person."
I don't give a fuck. If you do, you should help me find proof Digit is safe so I might also be open to giving a fuck, because me giving a fuck is pretty essential to the whole thing.
... "I understand that you feel passionate about that one person, I think most of us have been there but things change, they find their one, it is ideal to re-evaluate, and focus on what can be improved to hopefully win that person back, or if not find someone who would be better for you."
This is a lot of paragraphs to write about my personal situation without admitting you were wrong on your point about China, for someone who's accusing me of needing mental health treatment based on my willingness to engage with you after you yourself also were the one to originally bring up the topic of my personal life.
... "Please seek help, if you can't afford it I'm sure there are plenty of resources, and I'm sure the kind people of Nostr here would help you."
I am seeking help but even when I've offered money, the people of nostr have not helped me. If you knew anything about me, you'd know I can afford as much help as anyone can offer, but you seem to want me to pay you to pretend to care about Digit, which isn't help. Any help you could offer would have to be based on already caring about Digit enough to have already helped for free.
"All the people here mean you well, unfortunately you can get very passionate at times which makes it hard to have a conversation."
Very few people here mean me well and me being passionate does not make it hard to have a conversation. You're the one who just wrote a reply about as long as the one you were replying to except solely focused on one thing you felt about one part of what you were replying to, instead of addressing each point.
I have to deal with so many of my fellow humans dying every day because of what calls itself the government here in America and the number keeps going up.
China isn't killing so many people on my planet.
Making me spend paragraphs refuting minutiae of bullshit can't change this.
I have no proof what calls itself a government in China (when its people are translating their words into English) is into the idea of wiping out all life on earth.
I have no proof they're responsible for the anthropocene extinction event where it's estimated that in the time since your reply, more than one species would have gone extinct on earth.
Everything you mention is so fucking petty even if it was true, though my first reply already painstakingly explored how none of it is.
CPC not CCP, you typing it wrong this early in the morning got me to type it wrong too 🙄
