How to become an expert on the next "thing" in a hurry. Just confidently insist that the first thing that comes to mind is true. It should be brain-dead simple reasoning a child can follow. Bonus points if it is pro state and or pro violence.

So for Qatar, middle east and not Israel so probably Muslim.

Muslims are bad so we should bomb the shit out of Qatar.

You'll be a regular "expert" guest on 24 hour news networks in no time.

There is definitely a world where people abandon the dollar without turning on the state or even being anti war. Look at Peter Todd, a core dev who doesn't get it.

This is not true. 6102 to steal hard money from all the custodial holders. Taxes are still there and people will still comply. Inflation is a small part of the government's funding even in the worst years and could easily be covered by additional taxes. They could also reduce the existing crap services to free up funds for continued shittiness.

You will need to fight in other ways if you want to be free.

Nope, but maybe I should.

You know we bombed the shit out both of them right?

This checks out. Just look around. Large players attacking large players is the norm with smaller nations being left out of it.

Obvious exceptions. Israel, which is effectively a wing of the US government in these terms so also large. Iran / Palestine but these are really acting as part of the larger Muslim community and not as true individuals.

There is the risk of remaining large collectives attacking the small agoras. This is solved by the fact that a proper agora would be able to quickly dissolve while the members move to other agoras. Remember, free association with no coercive lock in. That dissolving removes many of the rewards for attacking.

Even if dissolving the target fails, the scale of human suffering was reduced by shrinking the size of the target population.

Lazy and you'll never really bother with my causes. Find a way to pay less in taxes. Go find an organization that fights against the government overreach that you most care about and help them.

If you are really incapable of figuring this out on your own I'm partial to the EFF and it is a cause in line with the cypherpunk ethos. Pick groups like 2nd Amendment Foundation over the NRA who are basically a wing of the Republican Party.

I just told you. You need to go be an activist.

Total coincidence that the region in the world with the highest population of America haters is the region where America has dropped the most bombs over the longest timeframe.

Should we tell him about The Raid

So no one died at all so far? Or do you have records showing that it was only childless people?

The ideology of hating the west is a lot easier to sell when the west keeps bombing them.

If these bombs don't give them freedom like the last thousand didn't, I guess we'll just drop another 1000 until they are free. This time it will work for sure.

Let's hope he learned his lesson.

You really think bitcoin fixes this on its own? That is a horseshit argument.

How did countries have wars on a gold standard?

African slavery, Trail of Tears, and Japanese American internment camps during WW2 all on a gold standard so non war atrocities also still work.

You are the human action you refer to. You need to do better, be better, and fight back harder. Your rationalizations are just free ammo you give your enemies.

Quick, does anyone remember who installed the Current Iranian Administration? Hint hint.

The big reveal is that he needed 2 more years of appearance fees on 24hr news networks to pay off his boat.

Bombing them ensures that plenty of dads die leaving angry young men with no guidance ensure the next generation of terrorists arrives on schedule.

Negotiation meet scheduled and Israel bombed them the day before.

Yet I'm the sucker.

I don't know who that is.

Let's get specific then.

Do you not know or remember that they have been saying Iran was 2 weeks away from a nuclear bomb for 30 years? John McCain singing bomb Iran to the tune of the beach boys 20 years ago?

Do you not know or remember that Iraqs's WMDs were proven to be an intentional lie?

Yes, I truly believe you couldn't possibly know history and support yet another war or Trump in general.

Are you historically literate?

I haven't seen a single I was wrong statement from a single Trump supporter. That is a powerful mind virus, I remember many I voted for him because he'll stop the wars statements.

I'm sure you are the only person on the planet who never does any of the following.

Sends and identifiable photo to family

shares photos with exif data

texts went to the X store need anything?

texts meet you a X and time Y

texts I'll be home around x time

texts on my way

texts any PII

If you don't think your texts can be used against you you have failed at adversarial thinking. This is especially true if you have kids with living grandparents.

Yes a few. Welcome.

People steal money, news at 11.

Conveniently leave out how many armed robberies are for USD.

Shameless as "terrorist organization gets funded by bitcoin" Sure 1% Bitcoin from randos and 99% USD direct from the US government funding.

Possible to argue another catalyst would have done it but it is naive to argue that most American authoritarianism today isn't grown from the wave of racism and willingness to trade freedoms for security that 9/11 set off.

El Salvador used to have constitutional limits of a single 5 year term for president with a 10 year break before they could run for office a second time. Bukele challenged that law and had it overturned during his first term. He is now serving a second consecutive term in office even though that was illegal when he was first elected.

Roman Firefighters were slaves by your own reference. Which side are you on?

Note that curesntly Knox County Tennessee is all private firefighting and many people in West Coast Forest Fire territory hire private companies to get extra protection for their homes.

Let's just say I agree completely with the Republican point that our education system has completely failed us.

I don't know what I'll do. If I had to guess I'll shred them and use them as mulch.

If you are engaging in the current argument about bitcoin it is important that you see the core team are using a false dichotomy as misdirection.

Mempool limits and consensus limits are not the same. They never offered you a version of core, knots included, that limits op_return size in consensus. Your node will not fork from a chain with large op_returns and you never had that option.

You should have the option to have limits on op_return size in consensus not just mempool.

It is a misdirection to say this is just us being stupid wanting an innacurate mempool on our nodes. I don't want an innacurate mempool, I want consensus limits.

They told us there were limits knowing that non devs thought that meant consensus limits.

Support the change or not, the core dev team has been dishonest with the node runners. Today someone can go directly to a pool and get anything they want and core will validate the block. The story about the balance between miners and node runners they told you was a lie all along. Core already gave all the power to miners ages ago.

Before Fiat the government funded large expenses with bonds. The most recalled today were war bonds. Believers in that government action would buy the bond which funded it up front to be payed back with interest out of future tax revenue.

Think about that government program you hate. Do you think NPCs who support it would buy bonds to fund it if dear leader told them it was the only way?

If the answer is yes, Bitcoin doesn't fix it. You will need to become an activist and fight it the old fashion way.

LOL, it isn't.

You making the assumption that I lean left because I oppose the right doesn't say anything about me. It shows that your brain has been rotted by party politics.

Slowly, the Democrats currently hold no power and are making no changes. That means they aren't doing anything for me to oppose at this time. Past ground is lost. Let's stop getting new losses on the freedom battlefield before we try for an offensive against old laws.

Government is a egregore. It only exists and has power because of the collective beliefs of individual humans. How do we shrink and kill it? By reducing the number of believers it has.

If this happens I will start a charity to buy Velcro shoes for people who buy those bonds.

Anyone stupid enough to give their hard earned dollars to a government that already steals 50% of their effort to lock in bond rates while the government gets Bitcoin return rates cannot possibly have the IQ required to follow that Bunny the whole way around that tree.
