What about Xan? He's lived 50 years of a low life and believes his only escape from it comes from everyone agreeing to sell the land to the wind farmers. He sees Antoine's farming fantasy as the only obstacle to freedom from this low life. He's uneducated but intelligent. Was acceptance of the situation his only option?
Role play Antoine at a crucial time of his thinking process to solve the situation he has found himself in. What should he weight and what options to explore? Consider that authorities have failed to address the situation.
What were Antoine options to avoid his end in this plot "Set in the Galician countryside, it follows a French couple (Antoine and Olga Denis) settled in a small village seeking to connect with nature, growing and selling their own eco-friendly crops and rehabilitating abandoned properties so they can be reinhabited. However their presence arouses hostility from a couple of neighbors,[4][5] the Anta brothers Xan (an inflexible man used to interacting under a might makes right worldview) and Loren (with reduced mental capacity in the wake of an accident he suffered when he was young),[6] pitted against the French at the opposing side of a dispute pertaining the sale of land to a wind energy company. Antoine and Olga are opposed to the deal and block it, whilst Xan, along with most of the village, wants the money in order to leave the countryside and have a chance for a better life for him and his family.
Antoine reports the hostile behaviour of the Anta brothers, such as trespassing on his farm and urinating on his property, to the local Guardia Civil, but they do not take his concerns seriously, insisting they should solve their dispute through dialogue. In an attempt to record evidence of their behaviour, Antoine begins surreptitiously filming the brothers, but they quickly notice and are enraged further. Antoine discovers two batteries in the farm's well, poisoning their tomato harvest with lead. He angrily confronts the brothers and trespasses in their residence. The law enforcement agents have no evidence to charge the brothers with sabotaging the farm and consider both parties responsible for antagonising each other. Driving along a country road at night, Antoine and Olga find the path blocked by the brothers' vehicle, who approach the couple with a shotgun and repeatedly bang on the window. Olga confesses she is fearful for their safety, believing they would have murdered Antoine if she was not present.
The other remaining villager opposed to the wind farm development dies, with his son in favour of accepting the deal and leaving Antoine and Olga the only remaining holdouts. Antoine meets the brothers in the local pub and explains that, if another vote found him to be the only resident opposed to the deal, he would accept the majority opinion and leave the village. However, due to the sabotage of their harvest, they need to remain for at least a year to recoup their losses, by which time Xan believes the developers will take their interest elsewhere. Walking his dog in a remote forest, Antoine is followed and approached by the brothers. Anticipating a violent confrontation, he sets his camera to record and hides it in a clearing. A struggle ensues, and Antoine is smothered to death by the brothers.
A year later, Antoine's disappearance remains unsolved. Olga continues to run the farm alone, and spends her free time scouring the countryside for Antoine's body or evidence of his murder. Antoine and Olga's daughter Marie arrives to visit from France. She is disturbed that Olga lives so near to her father's murderers, insisting that she needs to accept Antoine's death and leave, but Olga refuses. Olga eventually discovers the battered camera, but the memory card is irretrievably corrupted, leaving no evidence. However, the Guardia Civil agree to reopen the search around the site of the camera. Olga visits the Xan brothers, asking to speak to their elderly mother. She tells her that her brothers will soon be sent to prison, and only the two of them will remain, alone, in the village. Shortly after, Antoine's body is discovered, and as Olga is driven to identify the body she passes the Xan brother's mother walking alone in the road."
What should I eat for breakfast this morning?
#[0] Hi there
FIAT and it's ecosystem is destroying itself without any external help.
#Bitcoin is a defense mechanism. An opt out from corrupt FIAT. Freedom..
Relax and opt out.
Sats/dollar is a good metric. I like it 🤠
Good morning 🌞
It's between you and Saylor, isn't it?
More seriously, I'm predicting a 'black inheritance hole event' in the next 20 years with millions more of bitcoins going lost forever.... I know that's a gift to the community that will appreciate the remaining satoshies even more.
But then, how rich do you want to be? And shouldn't wider distribution and general adoption benefit more the cause? Even selfish causes about bitcoin becoming the only money and one ultra rich?
And does deviation from sound money lead to any alternative outcome?
Have they enforced the #CBDC1984 yet?
What is Twitter? It sounds like old, centralised tech.
People don't realise how really scarce BTC is. Everyone talks of 21M, with a couple or three of them already lost but, we haven't yet seen the first 'Black inheritance hole event'. With only 15 years of BTC, we are not even close to the event horizon yet... In 20 years, there will only be 12M of BTC left.
You heard it here first.
All sorted now! Sorry for the confusion and thanks for putting this together.
Hi there, I've installed the nos2x extenion on Firefox but when following the link it gives me a "Sorry, we weren't able to find "habla.news". I'm using coracle... Am I missing a relay or something else? You will have already detected that I'm a total newbee!
