I am advancing my own category of what I call the “fascist impulse”, yes.

For me, fascism is better understood as an impulse in people to wield permanent political and economic power, by capitalizing on cynicism of polities, and using cultural control (propaganda) and pseudo-religious mythos to contain the political conservation in a cultural envelope, that leads to extreme depoliticization of the average member of the polity.

I think this more intellectually robust characterization of fascism was always staring political science in the face, if you just came at it from a little category theory, and some analytical moral epistemology.

It’s what makes the Austrian school such a pernicious school of thought in my mind. It’s why its produced so many outright fascists! Its goal is to convince the liberal by their predilections to reason, to give up on any notion of a Greater Good.

Its goal is two-fold: to convince you there is no Greater Good (to sell you on cynicism). But if you’re just too romantic for that, convince you it’s impossible to know what the Greater Good is (so why try? Leave it to the market!)

The fascist wants to convince you of that, because he’s got big plans. And you’re in them. nostr:note10u7dshfqymr97cx66cwassrz98m35l26t7ut84745q9pzjdvmhlqgu9n5a

i don’t know that bridge. what’s bad about it?

would people here be interested in a nostr<>Farcaster bridge? (self-hosted, of course. but trivial to set up and run)

Optionality is key

It's open source, but...

- the repo is large

- the source code changes rapidly

- the end users install every update immediately

- bug-fixes are wrapped together with new bugs

- the releases are complex.

This is my level of cool:

Gets BlueSky invite link two years later.

Week later, BlueSky opens to public.

I need to step up my cool game.

Once I met a privacy advocate with a 30-year career fighting for privacy at multiple reputable privacy-first organizations who told me a database of medical records shared between the patient and their government satisfies his definition of a patient-private architecture.

Similarly, you will find many decentralization advocates claiming that many solutions, like Farcaster or BlueSky, are decentralized. They usually truly believe what they say, and that's why they are so effective in selling it, but the trick is to know what their definition of decentralization actually is.

Thank you, would you recommend any particular clients to check out, you got some favorites?

Hello new friends, new to Nostr trying to learn more anyone have any advice??

Morning ladies, gents, and degens!

Kind of want to run a damus fedimint and/or LSP and integrate a non-custodial mutiny-like wallet into damus clients.
