People need to learn, adapt, and improve just like the market improves. People need to become free from their own prisons, their own arrogance and authoritarianism. I don't claim some egoistic "I am always right" idiocy. I refuse to subscribe to that kind of arrogance. What evil is in me is quite limited. It varies from person to person. Because I know this, I am already ahead of the curve. And because I know that I know nothing, I know that I am wise enough to continue to adapt and look out for my own mistakes.
Ai'ght I'm feeling verbose today, wanted to express my political thoughts again, this time in a way that everyone, even authoritarians, can understand.
***In this house we understand:***
War is mass murder.
Taxation is theft.
Monetary expansion is fraud.
Regulation is best provided on a free market.
Free markets with property rights are the most diverse, inclusive, efficient, nature-conserving, and wealth-generating arrangements of human affairs ever created.
Rights protection services are best provided voluntarily.
"Intellectual property" is a contradiction in terms: the only idea a person can exclusively own is one that is not discoverable outside of that individual's private life.
Nobody will ever know how to direct the flow of commerce in a way that benefits everyone, even with a supercomputer.
If people want roads, they will pay for and build roads.
I don’t have to pay for your arms race or your international genocide. That's your problem. Start a GoFundMe and see how that goes.
Sound money, sound world.
If people want or need anything, someone (usually them) will gladly pay for it. If people will pay for it, someone will probably find a way to profit off of supplying it (whether monetary or purely psychic profit). When this happens without coercion, everyone involved wins. In a freed market, supply will adjust to meet the demand and keep prices low, so even the poor can purchase or have someone purchase for them more easily.
Free markets with easy entry, along with tort law, fix externalities far more effeciently than a central tax, subsidy, or regulatory agency can ever do.
Science works best when decentralized and when it actually follows the scientific method, not some state oligarch.
Single points of failure are dangerous.
Don't trust, verify.
People with responsibilities can, will, and should meet those responsibilities voluntarily.
People who hurt or defraud other people tend to fail in a society that respects this stuff, and that is why they hate us.
States and their corporate allies are the real criminals, drug traffickers, rapists, rights abusers, polluters, murderers, scammers, and ne'er-do-wells. They're also the dumbfucks that allowed (and subsidized) death trap Tesla cars on the road and bright blue headlights that cause massive eye fatigue and increased risk of crashing, I mean come ON with that! I swear I will punch someone's lights out next time I have to drive at night, literally.
Black and grey markets beat out states and state capitalists in the long run, and bitcoin will set the white market right, limiting credit expansion and exposing which corporate state entity owns what.
Meekness ***is not*** weakness. However, parasitism **is** weakness.
If tankie authoritarians think the meek are weak, they can fuck around and find out just how weak we really are.

Yes we see some of you partisans hiding your vicious thoughts behind a mask of patriotism or supposed compassion, and you politicians seeking career advancement through manipulation. We see right through every bullshit claim meant to keep people enslaved. It is clear as day that we help people. You - the banks, the state, the national security apparatus - hurt people.
So to you and anyone else coming to steal our shit, to force us to serve, or to violate our bodies, think fast, motherfuckers. A rattlesnake gives you a good, fair warning. This is yours. You might want to just let us continue to slither away peacefully. Choose carefully.

Yeah that's definitely me lol
Yet I still can't find a job in my field. Goes to show what government does to opportunity and corporate standards.
Dude I took a mini IQ test and it said I had an IQ of 141. I was wondering why it felt like 99% of people were not as smart as me.
Perfectly stated!

A sample of my Christmas presents, from my dad and my girlfriend. I'm so grateful. Is it obvious I'm a libertarian??

nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z Why is Amethyst appending all that extra data? The original image URL is much shorter.
What lies along the skewed lines? Some kind of density? I don't understand the numbers on that, the labels mention no units for that.
Be gentle, baby Jesus is very sensitive! I love this and unironically agree with it. I also am laughing my ass off lol!!
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except... the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation.

Hey does anyone know of any projects to decentralize and decorporatize internet access? I want to see more private, unregulated internet access in case the government forces IDs and indormation transparency on everything we do. Idk how to be safe from that. I'm still a little bit of a noob when it comes to online privacy and I have a suspicion that no VPN is gonna circumvent government seizing ownership of the traditional Internet infrastructure, since it is already mostly owned by a few corporations and regulated at the city level too.
I want to see something like internet over CB radio mesh networks with unbreakable encryption or some other apocalypse-proof shit like that, that can use nostr.
Anyone know any projects like that or can give me some tips? I wanna be independent from any corporation, especially state capitalists. #privacy #decentralization
Jesus help us
I completely agree. Humor is just one of the ways I deal with despicable evil.
