The brainwashing of the 20th century was shocking in its totality and in its aims and goals. Many of which it achieved.
The 21st century will be much much worse unless we prevent it.
Discussion
the entire point of brainwashing is that it ain’t preventable for the mass population.
Staying neutral on all topics and fixing things at home will do the trick. You can’t control the uncontrollable but you can control how you feel about someone and not be concerned about how they feel about you.
If «only» feelings were involved maybe
it already is much worse
There is no we, only the individual. And as an individual I will attempt to prevent it with you!
Only winners write the narrative.
We the people, have never won.
For fucks sake, a majority of weekly users on nostr can't even come together with $1/mo in sats to change a community members life, each month....
$1/mo isn't enough to effect your wellbeing.
But it could change a life if enough people give it to the same person..
Regardless of who it went to, you'd know you actually helped change someone's life and studies show their are even health and well-being benefits to that...
We're in America and $5 - $20k would change my life FOR SURE.... imagine what it would do for people in other parts of the world...
Each selected user would have their own unique story about nostr and bitcoin.
ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY KNOW THAT NOSTR CAME TOGETHER AND GAVE ME 4M SATS TO NOT BE HOMELESS BACK IN 2023.
I've experienced first hand the true power of community and cooperation here on nostr already.
Nostr could be making headlines globally...
Yes, some things would need to be figured out....im not saying it won't be some work...I'm just asking why we can't keep doing it...It's cheaper in sats to do so now than it was before...
It will be much, much worse and I can not imagine, even as a developer, how we counter it. The leverage governments have with technology is horrifying.
I live alone up in the mountains. I'm considering a move to Mars if Elon allows it.
13 years into the 20th century, the greatest lie ever told was set in motion.
9 years into the 21st century, the greatest truth ever was cemented in nation state resistant cryptography.
This century is going to be different.
What lie are you we talking about here - something to do with Franz Ferdinand?

Just an interesting data point I’ve been fleshing out for myself lately..
My two oldest sons are 6 and 8. Im actively involved at their school and sports teams, and talk to their peers a lot.
I’ve been asking around a lot in their class, soccer and gym teams, neighborhood friend groups, family etc.. They are *the only* two kids of their age without their own iPad and who don’t play fucking Roblox and stare at whatever YouTube serves them every day.
In case you missed out on Roblox, the game mechanics are basically the cheapest most barebone dopamine hits you can get, while constantly being confronted to speed things up if you pay enough money for it.. YouTube speaks for itself..
My outlook for most of that future generation (and the class of politicians they will spawn) has become very bleak, to say the least.
“The literate man is the natural sucker for propaganda. … propaganda is our Achilles heel … You cannot propagandize a native. You can sell him rum and trinkets, but you cannot sell him ideas.”
— Marshall Mcluhan
Every generation that spots these manipulation tactics becomes harder to fool, and we’re reaching a point where maintaining fake consensus takes more energy than the system can sustain. Modern propaganda is so complex that it actually reveals how it works to anyone watching closely, pushing people toward real independent thinking.
Hang this on your fridge mfs
It will get worse and better. Depends on where you look.
Jup they're already taking over tik tok..
We need to get the masses on nostr!
