Islam is not a religion, but a totalitarian political ideology/system, very similar to other totalitarian systems, just like communism

So if you want to be a subservient slave, islam is perfect for you

I was born in the UK - in London, in Guys Hospital in 1995 - which is weird cos I’m closer to St.Thomas’ 🤔

This is my home. If you send me away on a boat, I’d end up back here… or not, cos I don’t know how to sail 😭

I am not of Anglo Saxon decent - that I know of (Sri Lanka was colonised by the Portuguese, Dutch and British at various points in history).

Some might not consider me English, which is totally cool, I don’t think I’m English either cos my ethnicity is Sinhalese with a little kiwi (curtesy of mystery grandad/mum).

I am, however, British. That is my nationality.

Right now, this is my home, and has been my whole life. I love it. It will always be a part of me.

I especially love that I grew up in London, cos this stuff doesn’t matter unless you’re filling in a form. It’s not something I sit around and think about, I just know it in my heart. I love that my mum isn’t English cos I get to hear about how different her childhood was. If it wasn’t for that, I probably wouldn’t know how amazing outdoor showers are. I was so stubborn to try it when I visited Sri Lanka last. Now, I crave it. I love having had friends from England, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Jamaica, Nigeria, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Trinidad and Tobago, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Ethiopia, China, Italy, Switzerland, America, France, turkey, Germany, Sri Lanka, India, South Korea, Japan, Dominican Republic etc.

I wouldn’t be who I am today if I didn’t grow up with so much love and culture around me. Granted I might be a little ridiculous sometimes, but I like who I am cos I know I have pure intentions and I try my best to understand people. I don’t always understand people - like right now with the rioters - but I am trying. I don’t care where you’re from, if I love you, you’re my family. Which means I have sisters of Afghan, Eritrean, Spanish and Portuguese ethnicity - and brothers who are of Indian, Italian, Nigerian, English and Sinhalese ethnicity. And we’re all British. I have always believed that family is where you find it. Same with home.

I can’t ignore that we do have our problems as a country, as a kingdom. Even so, how does responding in violence solve anything? I grew up around violence, and I never saw any good come of it. Just more violence. I take it as a life lesson - though I don’t know that I needed that much of a lesson 😅. I made a deal with the universe though - I’ll get my ass organised and in return I would like a mostly peaceful life with quite a bit of adventure and lots of love - that is actually a lot to ask I realise but I’m still hopeful. I just think there are no real winners in war. I understand self defence, but if you’re angry and looking for a fight cos nobody is listening, I’d recommend you buy a punching bag (pillows work for me), meditate, find your zen and work smarter to use your words with the people who deserve it. The world now thinks that we’re animals - no, not animals. Animals behave better than us. That we’re angry idiots. I’m sad, cos I know that that’s not who we are.

Im okay if people are protesting peacefully that they are unhappy with immigration. That they don’t think people like my mum should be here or that the children of immigrants should be here (🙋🏽‍♀️). It’s hurtful. I cried when I saw some of the things being said, and I don’t agree at all with what they’re saying about any immigrant, but I do think they have a right to say it if that’s what they believe. I agree with them that Police shouldn’t be arresting people just for that. I also understand and agree that the government aren’t doing their jobs properly. This is where my agreement ends. People will think I’m mad, but I’d rather have freedom of speech and disagree with people (peacefully) than not be allowed to voice an opinion and be arrested for comments online - which is what’s happening, and will likely be happening more, thanks to the rioters who have given government and the police an excuse to come down harder…

The media tell half truths (of course), people aren’t acting rational, the police aren’t letting people speak their truth and the people are responding with violence - though I don’t think that’s any excuse. I still don’t know what’s real. Are rioters really on their way to London to smash cars and burn stuff? Or is the media talking about a peaceful protest with a few dangerous racist plonkers? I don’t know. I know the media can lie and twist things, but there wouldn’t be anything to twist if the people weren’t committing violent acts. I do know that.

I really want to give the protesters the benefit of the doubt, even if I disagree with them. Freedom of speech is important, always. But I just see non-stop rioting/looting and burning now, and I will never agree with that. It’s inhumane.

Anyway, this was my rant. Hope I didn’t bum anyone out. Just needed to vent.

Islam which is used to poison people’s minds is the issue, not peoples ethnicity

People need to remove the LTE/data modem in the car, and not toggle some setting in a silly app

Exactly!

Would it be possible to integrate a #Lightning node wallet and a #Nostr relay/node into the #Bitcoin Core #linux app?

That way any pleb/normie could set it up and run it, would make #lightning and #nostr insanely more robust

It’s literally too easy for parasite 🦠 central bankers to deceive the ignorant sheeple

Exactly, it’s should be just as as easy as running #bitcoin node

Btw, it should be the same thing with running a #Lightning node

Because when something is easy to setup and run, more people will do it, and it becomes more decentralized and more robust, just like #bitcoin itself

If #lightning network was actually decentralized and robust and easy to setup and use, there would be no one shutting down anything, but since it depends on basically running your own node and having a static IP, few people can do it, hence people gravitate to centralized services like all these wallet companies, which all get shut down sooner or later

And why does #Lightning network nodes use static IP, when TOR addresses could have been used?

Or am I mistaken?

If running a #nostr relay/node would be as easy as running a #bitcoin node, there would not be a lack of relay/node capacity

Make #nostr relays a #linux #ubuntu app with a nice GUI, that anyone can install and run

Connecting to a relay should be as easy as scanning a QR code on the #Linux relay app interface, no command line needed/typing needed

And make the relays have TOR addresses, so no static IP is necessary

Or am I mistaken?
