nostr:npub1n3sjlzmhpu8rl56umtptc4lua6zkretq2p82yhytnmlcuq639vlqd0te5l hows it going in the twitter trenches? Im not over there any longer hope you are treading above the water line so to speak 🤙 Look fwd to a day when you are on nostr more ( i know why you are not ).
Its a good question, and the answer is it is only 'affordable' with massive pain to the vast majority of your population. I guess if were talking about progressive ideals like ' health is a human right ' , ' UBI', ' college for all', ' minimum wage', etc. Then layer in reality of a highly indebted society and now you are really getting taken for a ride if you vote for any of the above.
I think it would help me if Trey you had a bit more of a definition to your meaning for the word progressive in your ongoing dialogue around this idea. Maybe its just semantics but i dont see how money that is meant to disintermediate the state's central control over people isn't anti-thetical entirely to the progressive movement as-is.
It’s a common myth I see touted in the Bitcoin community that going down the bitcoin rabbit hole will make you less of a progressive.
For me that’s not true at all. It did, however, raise my awareness and skepticism of centralized authorities like the federal government, the Fed, etc in terms of handling our money and given too much control to breach our privacy in any instance. I think it is true that more often than not progressives don’t push back on centralized government authority and interference enough, and look to often to the federal government for support of the community and social values we care about.
Basically I went from not questioning centralizing enough to fighting for decentralization in as many instance as make sense — this is progressive in the sense of greater individual/community control, more democratic, more with everyone playing by the same rules.
Do you want a world ruled by centralized authorities in every instance, or a world where rules without rulers and decentralized protocols usher in a new era or freedom, liberty, and harmony? This is the message I’m hoping to spread to more progressives. And in terms of educating on money, federal governments, privacy, and decentralization I think nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a , nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp & nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 are some of the best to speak to progressives on these topics without getting bogged down in ideological warfare
I agree woth you, as a former cookie cutter liberal pre-bitcoin. In fact, I typically agree with your takes 100% except for the use of the word progressive itself. Whether we like it or not, to be a progressive ( speaking from my experiencece in the US ) is really, really hard to unwind from State-Centric policy. I live in the PNW, all of my friends are very, very progressive. They simply do not see the disenfranchising of the state as a means to achieve ideals and goals they find important. This makes it almost impossible for them to see my means to achieve any goals ( as a bitcoiner) as anything but a threat and lunacy. So i just fail to see the connection with the word Progressive any longer, personally.
Sometimes a feel like you are holding on too much to that word, friend.
Again your take is 100% right and i dont want to distract from its value ...for me personally its liberalizing to untether myself from the Progressive ideal entirely ( albeit hard at times too as i am a bit 'adrift' now.
Cheers mate keep posting 🤙
You still tried seeds are there. 🤙
UN Report on global emissions: we have two years.
Just TWO YEARS to change the mentality of stupid people running China USA Russia India and Japan.
And getting the rest of the world on board for systemic financial and industrial changes.
"Mr Brain isn't at home" in most politicians here at home either.
