Technically, if mobile clients were setup to run a lightweight relay on the backend, they could listen for "packets" with events to be picked up and relayed. You could use NFC, Bluetooth, open wifi networks, whatever. As individuals moved about their devices could harvest and redistribute nostr data that eventually makes it's way to the broader network without the sender even needing a data connection.

Not to mention, how the fuck can anyone morally justify the use of force on another individual to limit their capacity to defend themselves? Someone who feels that way and I will never see eye to eye. We can nitpick and cherry pick statistics all day long, and either side can make data appear however they like depending on how it's presented. At the end of the day, no one has the right to enforce their will or desires on me or anyone else.

I don't think you should own a fucking iPhone, you don't see me asking the state to take it from someone forcibly.

Except they don't.

nostr:npub1g3827ewz6d23rlgdhkaslc78gyule52ymcqdyt2hsxdwtlw8dt5q7dfpvg wanna step in with data on what states have most gun crime?

I don't even need data, this is public information and to make this statement is willful ignorance.

Exactly.

And obviously the US healthcare system has its own set of very real issues, but in the majority of the western world, there is a private health insurance system that also has subsidies for the poor which ensure everyone has equal access.

And the state doesn't need to run anything.

These countries (Switzerland, Germany, pretty much all of Europe) have healthcare systems so superior that the number of people in the UK who go abroad for surgery etc grows annually.

The reason they don't use the private system here is usually cost. Because the NHS exists, private healthcare is a luxury good in the UK. In countries where it's necessary, naturally it's cheaper.

Notably if you go to any private hospital or clinic in the UK you will see a lot of Arabs and signs in Arabic etc. Rich Arabs come to London for private healthcare all the time.

As I said, the quality of the actual doctors and nurses is not the issue. When working privately they have much less stress and much more freedom.

Why freedom? On the NHS, doctors aren't allowed to use their own judgement. They must follow government guidelines to the letter. Often these are corrupt (Big Pharma pay the government regulators to change guidelines in their favour) but they must be followed or that doc is personally liable.

Privately, the guidelines are just guidelines. Docs can treat their patients however they feel is best.

Guess which approach ends in better care?

Final point: the crazy thing is lefties want to shut down private healthcare because it's "unfair." The state has brainwashed em against their own interests. If anything they should campaign to shut down the NHS so everyone has access to the quality of care provided by private healthcare.

As my own dad said to me: if you had to use the NHS you'd be dead.

Yup.

Yep, the state doesn't need to be involved at all.

I've seen first hand what happens when a mostly private Healthcare system (which admittedly had major flaws, because my entire lifetime it's been run by monopolies) gets taken over by the state.

TLDR: Just like everything the government touches it becomes bloated, more expensive, quality goes to utter shit, and only the poorest benefit marginally while the rest suffer and the state gets richer.

I go a step further and say the 2A is irrelevant, because the state never had the right to dictate what private indivduals own. The constition is just a document spelling out the rules the state's not going to follow anyway.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what laws they write, if you want my firearms, come and take them. BitcoinDad here doesn't have the nuts to do that, so he wants to use the state to enforce his will violently on peaceful people because he bought into MSM fear campaigns. The state is organized crime, and you're their bitch.
