that’s rhetoric

more precise dialectic is:

it’s a composite of quantity and quantity

having no kids is to surrender

have to at least has some

but having the most doesn’t guarantee victory, but definately helps

i have a hard time judging how much monetary value is for a note.

i don’t like the “like” button

and I acknowledge how dismal 42 sat zaps are, but 🤷‍♂️

if btc moons, i hope i would still zap equivalent value

I just realized you can tap the zap to select various zap sizes…. 🤦‍♂️

to say it’s a ponzi scheme would give it too much credit.

there is at least an inherent structure to a ponzi: natural limits/parameters which if exceeded, make the ponzi collapse.

the fed has no such limitations. they completely severed the tether to reality. the only limit it has isn’t natural, but the subjective limit

of how much abuse people are willing to take.

my 2 sats

yeah, i think the that same general principle of reciprocity behind the idea if “a well armed society is a polite one” is also in play here.

We value the community and don’t want to be ostrichized

I don't think he did it. I think he was a convenient Patsy because he comes from a prominent Maryland family that's notorious for their wretched senior care facilities and had cut ties with them over values etc. So the narrative was easy to craft and would be known by Baltimore prominent people (like Pelosi) who may have had a stake in what CEO Brian Thompson was about to testify on (insider trading). I think Luigi randomly woke up in a PA field (it happens), tried to get a hotel but couldn't, then went to wait in McDonald's where the police conveniently found all the incriminating evidence they could need on him. The shooter was so careful and meticulous in so many ways, but then just forgot to not hold on to incriminating evidence? I have reasonable doubts.

Full disclosure, I am from a nearby town in Maryland, and I also cut ties with my family. But I was able to grow and flourish unlike Luigi. Cutting ties with family and old scenes and trying to be something new for yourself makes you so vulnerable and to me this case really highlights that. I cannot help but feel so lucky nothing bad happened to me when I did that, and I feel so sad for him that this is happening. In Maryland Luigi has a stellar reputation as an all around solid quality human being. Everyone has a story about him it seems, and all the stories are so sweet. But on TikTok there was so much weird AI content of him it was horrifying to me (why I left TikTok and came to Nostr). So that's why I support him and want a quick and fair trial. I believe he is innocent and want him to be free.

Many of the people who go to his court cases don't necessarily support him or the allegations. They just are using this as a platform to protest the terrible health care industry. The deceased Brian Thompson instituted AI bots to automatically deny people life saving health coverage that they had been paying for. How many preventable deaths was he responsible for? How much money did he make denying the services his customers were paying for? How is that not criminal? If the healthcare industry as a business is moving towards "we take your money then automatically deny you care until you die" then some do argue that it was not wrong to kill the person who did that.

I think the trial will bring some interesting information to the public, but they keep on delaying his court dates. I think they are hoping the public forgets about it. But that's why I'm so gung-ho about talking about it! Sorry for the long essay response 😅

thanks for the info. that just wasn’t something i knew anything about.

yeah, many things don’t add up, especially so close to the axel of power, the only thing you know for certain is whatever the official narrative is, is curated to distort

yeah, it’s not a problem you calculate

it’s a reality you recognize through your rational faculty.

fear flows from uncertainty

build conviction and faith from what you do know, and the fear takes care of itself

I’m not familiar with the case other than vaguely remembering him allegedly assasinating the united health ceo.

like he did it and people think he did good?

or people think he is wrongly accused or something.

another way of asking, do you know what his supporters are supporting?

fiat funding forever wars across the globe isn’t an abstract theoretical exercise.

real people, real consequences

If i didn’t fight and participate in the forever war, id probably still think they are for some “greater good” or some necessary bullshit.

but i did, and i saw behind the curtain, and as, as you rightly said “pure evil”

the wars aren’t “for nothing”

it’s now the system justifies monetary expansion to the public

if link doesn’t work, just search “Pillow Time” by John Bradley of Boomer Patrol

yeah, it doesn’t do anything unless you make it so.

and that’s ok

yeah, it just felt good. like, huh, that’s how easy it should be? 🤣

I had to spend #bitcoin to appreciate just how stupid our current system is.

I “knew” it was dumb, but i had nothing to compare it to until I spent.

That makes the mindset of, just put all your fiat in btc and spend btc like your fiat, a lot easier to swallow.

instead of “i only stack and spending is sacrilegious”

“You get #bitcoin at the price you deserve.”

Works for both buying and selling
