Trey, you're a positive force here on Nostr. But let's be real, at this point you probably don't support 95% of the policies a 'leftist' would. What is so bad about the 'right' label?

Trey Walsh 11mo ago

Might be closer to 50%, and I’m not sure who I agree with in the mainstream anymore!

Also the right and left probably agree on more at this point and against the corporate/corrupt mainstream political and war apparatus

Very true. Big difference between real, everyday people and what the politicians talk about. There's a reason they stomped out the 99% protest on Wall Street - they need us divided.

Through the lense of history though, people tend to get more radical during cultural periods like this.

The 1919 Bolshevik revolution and the rise of Hitler in 1930s Germany are two very important periods of history which can be used to better understand today.

We are currently in a reactionary backlash to the past few decades of progressive policies. Trump used to be a democrat, so in the grand scheme of things he is much closer to a moderate, and is likely a controlled asset.

But if history is any indicator, the rise of a 'New Left' post-Trump is nothing to be looking forward to.

nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3 I can resonate with not knowing exactly what I am politically as a historic democrat voter, though that was predominantly voting against Trump 3 times.

I can distill it down to two simple things though: Anti-War (which includes domestic violence in increased police militarization and the carceral system) and Pro-Bitcoin (meaning promoting a censorship resistance P2P money that allows people to truly save their time and energy). It’s as simple as that for me right now.

You're anti-war and pro-Bitcoin but you don't prefer Trump over Kamala?

riley 11mo ago

I read Trump as pro-crypto and not pro-bitcoin. Launching his own crypto grift and continuing to talk about a strong dollar, he doesn’t understand what bitcoin is — yet.

Zach⚡️ 11mo ago

You just said you are a two issue voter though - it's pretty obvious Trump is more pro-Bitcoin then Kamala. What am I missing?

riley 11mo ago

I don’t think Trump is going to reduce the amount of money we spend on Defense (War) and I think militarization against citizens is likely to increase, he’s already suggested as much. They both score 0/2 for me.

Zach⚡️ 11mo ago

I'm only asking because you said you voted against Trump, implying you voted for Kamala. How do you see her as the better choice on these two issues?
