What are some things you think people are brainwashed about?

What are some things you think people are brainwashed about?

Sure, so each one is a substantial topic of discussion in itself but they actually all overlap on a number of points. I'll give an overview on each and am happy to zero in further if you have interest.

Atheism/antitheism/materialism:

These are not all the same, to be clear, but all center on a denial of God and spiritual reality (by implication, all of reality as it actually is). Atheism is fundamentally a poisonous worldview and no civilization that embraces it stays healthy/in tact for long.

Feminism/egalitarianism:

This arose in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution as a result of the removal of men from the home and, ultimately, a fragmentation of the whole family. I can sympathize with some of the reasons for the first wave but ultimately it is a distorted anthropological framework that leads to competition between the sexes, the eradication of the things that distinguish the sexes, flattens hierarchies God intentionally designed, caused the slaughter of millions of unborn children, made men effeminate, and made women bitter.

Post-War Consensus:

Tough one to sum up but ultimately after WWII and the rise of globalism, the narratives around the war itself as well as around what constituted a nation and a citizen changed pretty dramatically. As did the ideas and ideals around money, international diplomacy, and peace relations. I'm not of the mind as of now that it is all bad, but that it is a tightly held dogmatic narrative of modern history that should be scrutinized much more than it has been.

Crusades:

History is complicated and people are messy, but overall there has been a very long running smear and propaganda campaign against the crusades. The Christians were, we are told, the aggressors and the Mohammedans were largely a peaceful religious group. In reality the jihadist atrocities the Mohammedans committed against the Christians, particularly in the east and near east, were unspeakably wicked. The Christians crusaded in a desperate response to defend their people. Those that went to war, especially in the first crusade, were not power hungry zealots but wealthy nobility who, in many cases, gave up everything to go and fight because they were the only ones who could afford to do so. Many of the crusaders were faithful, honorable, and based Christian heroes.

Puritans/colonial America:

Post-industrial and postwar perspectives grew more and more hostile to heritage America, teaching that the Puritans were cold, joyless, legalistic, and rigid people who subscribed to a fire and brimstone theology and were obsessed with witch hunts. In reality they laid the cultural and spiritual foundations of what would eventually become America. And that spiritual foundation was one of joy, perseverance, faithfulness, reverence, and humility. As with the Crusaders, we have become a people too quick to disavow and repudiate our fathers, when in reality we have become squandered, undisciplined, and unworthy sons.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CALL OUT BULLSHIT. WHEN YOU SEE WRONG, SHINE A LIGHT ON IT.

BUT DO NOT COMPLAIN. DO NOT BEG FOR CHANGE.

BUILD BETTER ALTERNATIVES. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR.

I have just kicked off an intermittent fasting practice with a 24 hour sugarless-liquids-only fast. I'm hoping to work up to a 4-day water-only fast. Who all does intermittent fasting here? What schedules and durations do you recommend?

I’ll take a stab at it. There’s a lot to unpack here and I’ll be paraphrasing rand0 a fair amount here, so hopefully he cuts me some slack.

Orange Pillers lack foresight and only view things in hindsight. They lack discernment and never take personal accountability. They have no principals and will abandon these principals at the first sign of confrontation. Never truly believe in what they say. A simp. A follow the leader - unable to come up with an original thought. A second-guesser. A sugar-coater, tip-toeing around feelings because they secretly crave and covet influencer status. They are the Western Commie, a Dishonest Courtesan, an Elite Yuppie. A person infected with VAIDs. Someone who does the bare minimum and expects passive income. An invertebrate. A gaslighter. A collective altruist, who doesn’t understand reality. It’s never their fault for why they are where they are. They think they’re morally superior than you. To put it succinctly: they are the one marshmallow kid. When something good happens, it’s never enough. And shockingly these same people that supposedly hodl bitcoin, have future predictions that are Nihilistic in nature.

Orange Pillers buy high and sell low and then get mad when institutions arrive before they have “enough” (ignoring the fact they had a 15 year head start). They always say stuff like, “Yeah, I heard about Bitcoin at like $45 a coin.” You could replace $45 with any number and the point is they don’t buy unless their wive’s let them. They reminisce of what “could have, should have, and would have been.” Eventually, their envy makes their pockets empty. They lash out and lose their way.

“It’s not fair,” “It’s going below $10k soon,” “The ETFs will never get approved,” “The price could go up or down. Or sideways,” After something happens that’s positive for Bitcoin: “Wow, Bitcoin is down 8% now. Thought you said we would moon after the good thing for Bitcoin occurs?” “What about a Bitcoin 6102? Did you ever think of that?” “What if the power goes out for years? Bitcoin will surely be worthless then!” “Lol, it’s never going to $1 mil” “$20 DCA is the way,” “Politics don’t matter,” “It’s just two sides of the same coin,” “What if the government bans it?”, “Trump is a traitorous seditious liar!” “He’s just trying to get your vote!” “Why didn’t he free Ross last time?” “Wear your mask!” “You don’t care about anyone but yourself!” “I had no choice to get the jab or else I would have been fired!” “You’re just a conspiracy theorist!” “Where’s your evidence it’s the thing that it clearly is, but I’m in denial because if I acknowledge it I’m doomed?” “You’re being sexist!” “You’re being selfish!” “You’re being anti-Semitic!” “You can’t just point out the obvious! It’s not that easy!”“Weird that you care about Greedlove’s sex life!” “I’ll believe it when I see it!” “I’m going to heed the advice of this 19 year old who works at Target and has no life experience, over Saylor’s advice!” “I can’t wait for bitcoin to go crash and watch Saylor’s company implode!”“Wow, Sam’s (Bankman-Friedman) is really going to get away with it!” “*trades bitcoin with leverage and blames anyone but themselves*” “No! That’s not how I want you to use Bitcoin!” “I don’t know why you’re happy Wall Street is co-opting Bitcoin. We were supposed to replace the banks!” “No! Wall Street should listen to me! I’m the adult in the room! I was in the space before them!”

That’s not everything Orange Pillers have said, but hopefully you get the gist by now of how they behave naturally.

Here’s the rub, however. When enough time has passed, it always, without failure, comes down to:

“I never said that.” - Orange Pillers

“I always knew *insert the thing that they most definitely did not know until it literally happens* that would happen. Look at me! I’m so smart!” - Orange Pillers

“Why can’t we alll just get along?” - Orange Pillers

“You said that thing would have already happened! You’re wrong!” - Orange Pillers

My personal favorite is when they don’t realize Bitcoin doesn’t care about them (it sure as hell doesn’t give two shits about me), and then they start doing influencer-esque posts that essentially boil down to this:

“Sometimes, I wonder if Bitcoin is thinking about me too?” - Orange Pillers

Rand0 has had fun calling these history revisionists out (he still does, but he used to too) for the last four years and I hope you join him in mocking them.

Serious question:

What would you do in the coming years if you were no longer a slave to government-sponsored fiat grind?

Asked another way, what does life on a #Bitcoin standard actually look like for you?

NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE EDUCATION YOU NEED TO OVERTHROW THEM.
