Nope. But play chess with it - get the other side to be violent first.

Socialism is the end state of perpetual war - total war.

Throughout history, conflicts grew to include a greater and greater percentage of the population. Dutchies, princedoms and monarchies rarely maintained standing armies, and when war occurred, there was a limited supply of trained knights and bowmen to protect the fortress and sortie out from it. Then the concept of citizenship, pioneered by the free cities of Europe, came with a requirement that all male citizens be available for conscription.

Then, as oligarchs seized increasing amounts of power from the monarchies, they solidified their power in the form of legislatures, which exist primarily to tax, distribute taxes, protect the businesses of the oligarchs, and exercise power under the guise and morally camouflaged legitimation of representation. The effect was a more centralized state, which was able to sustain longer wars.

The next step was a central bank, which gave such an advantage to the first state to implement one - the Netherlands - that that tiny country was able to defeat much larger states, maintain naval dominance, invade England and install a monarch of their own choosing, and conquer colonies around the world. Every state copied the central bank model of warfare or they disappeared.

And then there was canned food, mass media, centralized agriculture, urban planning, etc..

But you get the picture. The progression of history is from smaller wars to bigger wars, enabled by centralization and the mobilization of a greater and greater percentage of the total resources and manpower of a country.

And what's the name for the phenomenon of total social mobilization? Socialism.

There are two main branches of socialism, which fought for dominance in the 20th century :

democratic socialism, aka fascism

Vs.

international socialism, aka communism

Or, nationalism vs internationalism

Both included all the previous elements - an empowered oligarchy, a legislature, a central bank, and various technologies that automated the processes that support war. From the standpoint of any free person, the differences are immaterial.

The end state is whichever version of socialism musters the greatest amount of resources - meaning, 100℅ of all people and 100℅ of all capital - and throws it into war.

Enter #Bitcoin and #freedomtech and #anarchism and #christianity - yes, this is Christianity's fight, too, sorry if that bothers anyone (srry not srry).

We're a small candle up against a great darkness.

Each step along the path of centralization and war must be undone. Central banks are just the beginning. If you want real freedom, the other steps must go too. Oligarchies have to go. Without oligarchs, who does the legislature serve? If you keep the legislative body, it will recentralize and rebuild an oligarchy. It has to go. Every jewel of power must be dismantled... carefully.

I'm not in this to buy humanity a couple hundred more years. I want eternity. All of it. Humanity should be free and vibrant and unchained and ungovernable. Humanity should be an unpredictable force of nature. Nothing about us should be tamed. Let us take the universe by storm - an uncontrolled storm, undirected, spilling out and watering unknown shores while obliterating everything that gets in the way. A typhoon of freedom... Tear off the shackles. Socialism must die.

Notice also the manipulation of expectations - "we will (do/not do)" means they have the power, they rule you. In the US (I also think we're powerless) we usually hear something like "I do not support {} / I will fight for {}" - the extra verb indicates uncertainty, which is less powerful. So the little commoner people in the UK are being trained into an expectation of powerlessness.

Oioh maybe the hoomans are killing the black cats. That place cath-holic, right? Superstitious people

Maybe something is eating the dark ones

Need a good memestr to make a "fink of the corn" thingy.

Reminder : the best etymology in the English language. If this isn't proof of the matrix...

His apology seemed sincere. And not only did he apologize, he then funded devs working on freedom tech. Maybe I'm naiive, but that's good enough for me.

I feel compelled to mention that twitter banned my account before I even made my first tweet. It was directly after I followed a bitcoiner... And the appeal process was a major "FU" because it first says you can appeal, then says you can't appeal because you're banned. So I never used twitter.

The apology still seemed sincere.

There's more, I just forgot

Can't, I don't have tiktok. I got serious about privacy and security, got a degoogled phone, threw out my phone that had a zillion apps on it, now only connect over Tor, so most stuff like that won't work for me anyways...

Would love to hear your music, though. If you find a way to nostr-ify it, tag me so I don't miss it

What kind of art do you do?

What kind of recalibration would you suggest? This is already far beyond anything I know.

Good. Being the author of your own story is an achievement. Willpower and free will and not being a machine... This is a good place for that, since you can be totally anonymous, can't be censored, and can create a new identity in less than a second. Perfect for speaking truth

Do it! Practically everyone on the internet knows some crazy stuff is going on, but all we have is speculation. If you shed light on it, maybe we can shut it down

Nice

Okay that's F'd up.

I had to look up PDiddy... I don't follow pop culture. Are you out of danger now?

Esoteric stuff is fascinating, but I keep it to symbolism only. I hear there's a good team and a bad team, though, so I hope you're on the good team.

Okay that does make sense. I also want to say,

I've never needed to ask you guys for help because your online guides are so good. Please don't axe the guides...

Goodness. I'm almost afraid to ask... Wha- hmm. Okay, what happened? Don't say anything you don't want to say.

Oh yikes. What's Ramcoa?
