Your Name is one of the better animated movies I've seen in the last 10 years. Love seeing it here 💜

I sleep better at night knowing that psychotic plebs living in shitty under-furnished apartments are forcing suits to make room at the table for us.

And we are laughing and meming about it.

Paying Elon to KYC yourself is the most cucked thing imaginable.

Nostr only.

The first time I earned money for myself, I was ten.

There was a family with several acres of blackberry and raspberry bushes laid out in neat rows. I got paid 50 cents per green carton of blackberries, and 75 cents per carton of raspberries that I picked.

Unlimited breaks, a stand with water and soda, and all of the berries I could eat.

I quickly found that the more efficiently I worked, the greater I was rewarded. I took fewer breaks and spent more time picking than eating.

I didn't realize at the time, but it was one of my first lessons in economics and human incentives.

Freedom from the future and the past. To be present and unattached to expectations, outcomes, and emotional baggage.

To simply be.

Not a state that I am overly familiar with, but I catch glimpses when I'm out in nature.

Different circumstances, but I had a similar path. I understand a little bit of that challenge. Keep at it, I hope to hear more about your journey as you go along.

We are the iron hand inside a velvet glove. We are nice on the surface but are 100% willing to stand our ground and be assholes if pushed.

I don't think most people are willing to relocate to friendlier jurisdictions. Relationships act as anchors - friends and family can't just be replaced.

Most people are going to stomach increasing surveillance and state overreach forever and be boiled in the pot slowly even if they see what is happening.

I'm 40 something, and I was old enough to remember perfectly when the debate broke out in my country about allowing cops to have speed radars, then to put fixed ones on the roads that take pictures of cars, then to have cameras recording open public spaces, then helicopters with special cameras that can see if you have your hands off the wheel or are looking at your cellphone from 300 meters above while flying at high speed, then to have tolls with cameras that scan your plate and your wind shield for a sticker that tells them if you paid for insurance this year or not and even if your car is authorized to enter the metro area surrounding the city or not (it's not if it's approx. 20 years old or more)...

And don't even get me started about the encroachment on telecommunications, internet, and banking privacy... completely gone and forgotten.

Every time, without fail, there is public uproar and people clearly express that they're against the new measure in polls. Nothing changes, the machine keeps going, relentless, with the certainty that people will submit and adapt, and submit again. And the same politicians that condemn these measure when they're in the opposition, never, not once, roll them back when they get to power. On the contrary, they pass new, more expansive ones.

Unfortunately no, there is no final punchline to this note. I'm not optimistic at all. The only way back to normalcy would be a consistent and persistent majority of the population voting adamantly to dismantle the monstrous State structure that has been superposed on them. But that will never happen, because those who have built it know that people value safety and comfort above personal responsibility and freedom, and they have built in plenty of mechanisms to bribe, cajole and threaten, as required to force each individual into submission.

I'm in the same age bracket, and I remember a lot of these 'conversations' over the years. And you are right, the machine just keeps rolling on.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree. It's a really big worldwide problem for two-legged parasites of all kinds.
