This photo predates #Bitcoin by 2 days (New Year’s 2009). Temp was -25 C (-13 F). Bitcoiners are built for max pain.

While Satoshi Nakamoto was in the process of changing the world, I was cavorting in -25 C. We all get the price we deserve!

Am I the only one, who in times of great stress, sees a bird and wishes I could be that bird.

Then, when things calm down, I see another bird and I’m like “Suckerrrrrrrr”

Humanity’s prevailing view of the future is “Today, only more so.”

The tall oaks of progress are continually dropping acorns, but we focus on the next branch, twig and leaf.

Meanwhile, we expect politics and good behaviour to solve our problems, thinking progress in human nature is just around the corner.

The future will in some ways be just like today, and in some ways radically different. The only thing it won’t be for certain, is “Today, only more so.”

Long post (TL;DR being on the left in the wake of Charlie’s assassination, and my thoughts on the only path forward)

Thank you to my friend nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33wf6xcutrvyu8ydnpw4ukzae4dc6ksvmvx56ryvnyd568xunex4j85en9v56rvwfkveck2wrnxeckwatyddenwer2w3n8x0mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k2qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0f7rplw for being a sounding board. He and I don’t agree on everything, but I’ve found such a kinship with him over the years (as one of the first more public Bitcoiners I met who was super welcoming to me), he’s a good person and loves our country, and I have been talking with him about my own complex feelings around Charlie’s death and recent events.

It’s time for the moderate, left of center liberals to actually lead the way and the future of the Democratic Party. It’s time to be courageous and say what needs to be said.

They constitute a majority of voices, but the party, media, and good faith liberals are constantly hijacked and ridiculed by the hypocritical extreme, radical left.

The left that antagonize progressives and center left as being “liberal” and not “true leftists.”

Damn straight. Moderate liberals are exactly what the democrats need to lead on a platform of inclusion, American values, democracy and liberal values, and a place for everyone — not a place that welcomes extreme views, violence and violent rhetoric, shitting on American values, wealth, entrepreneurship, and bullshit purity contests and virtue signaling. A platform that says we’re proud to be American, and we can live together in peace and harmony and my fellow Americans are not my enemy.

And this needs to be said - the leftists, those applauding Charlie’s death — are not just a minority voice on the left/democratic side. They have been growing, and recruiting. They also openly, consistently profess their hate for America and fellow Americans. When do we on the center left say enough is enough?

It’s not too late to combat this, deescalate, and pull people back to the same, center left position and move forward. We need to stop being complacent and captured by this segment of the extreme left (who many don’t even vote democrat anyway because no one passes their purity contest!)

And if you’re on the left — for just one second, try not to whataboutism about the right. This is a post to you — I’ve critiqued the extreme right many times. This isn’t about them right now. It’s about you, it’s about me, and it’s about answering the call if we can actually do this and rise above and do what we need to do.

We cannot move forward as a movement, as a Democratic Party, etc, without this intervention and soul searching. It could very well destroy America. It’s time to be morally courageous and do the right thing, and stop being the knee to those on the far left who would rather see our country and fellow Americans destroyed (or assassinated) anyway.

I for one will fight for American liberal values and a safer country for my daughter to grow up in and be proud of 🇺🇸

Disclosure: I’m Canadian.

The Democratic Party has been broken for over a decade. I believe Trump’s two terms are a symptom of this.

It really does seem like a “good times make weak people” situation, and it has happened all over western civilization.

In a healthy democracy, it is actually good for the pendulum to swing around the center. That way, you don’t always get what you want, but the most people get what they need.

Wild swings to the extreme will always break more than they fix.

The only way forward is for civil, sane people to bring back civil, sane discourse, as opposed to attempting to punish and even kill those they oppose.

If you are a civil, sane person, time to make your voice heard over the culture wars.
