There is more than enough "Spice" in UK jails, it's not a good thing😕😂.

Where's all the halving hashrate death spiral FUD this cycle?

Are the haters sufficiently embarrassed that it didn't pan out the last 3 times?

Why are you still an active #nostr user?

What kind of evil God decides to give cholics to small babies and put them through absolute pain and suffering?

Agreed. Self custody is way easier to learn than jumping into a dilapidated manual transmission pickup that doesn’t have breaks and being told to drive down country roads at the age of 14 while pops took a nap.

Australia’s democracy had a referendum in 2023 on “The Voice”.

The newly elected Gov proposed a wishy-washy “voice to parliament” for Aborigines. They refused to detail what it would mean up front and just wanted a constitutional amendment to enable it.

They lost every state and territory 60-40 except for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) - a tiny enclave where our Federal Gov sits, similar to Washington DC where all the fucking bureaucrats live.

Despite losing the referendum (bear in mind Australia is 1of2 “democracies” with **mandatory** voting on threat of fines), States have ignored those results and moved ahead with their own “Voice”.

Even though their constituents voted against this idea, they’ve gone ahead and done it anyway.

South Australia went first. A state 3X larger than Germany with 1.7 million people, they decided to do this at a state level totally ignoring the referendum result.

They had 30,000 eligible Aboriginal people and got just 2,619 votes. 0.1% of the population just override the 60-40 result thanks to democracy.

Put aside your idealism from CivVI telling you a Churchill quote and come to the real world. Democracy is a fucking shitcoin used to mask the actions of totalitarians to do whatever they want.

Nonsense. Democracy facilitates cover for the people actually in charge and that’s it.

The plebs don’t actually control things. They’re engaged purely to perpetuate the systemic theft a democratic system enables without having a single head to cut from its shoulders to stop it.

The peasants shouldn’t be concerned with politics.

The peasant sitting at home on the couch having his entire lifestyle funded by the productive class has zero incentive to vote for what’s best for those that actually fund him; they vote for more benefits for themselves.

Anarchy or Monarchy, maybe strict Minarchy - those are the only acceptable systems.

Democracy is mob rule under a different name that always devolves the same way.

These things are true but not in the absolute. Democracy is still the best form of government. The peasants have never had a system that tilted the balance of power so favorably.

Democracy is an illusion
