A fair point. I suppose when you take it to an extreme, that's where nationalism becomes problematic.
I don't see any reason why being patriotic is a bad thing if your nation is honorable and respectful towards other nations.
Yes, the weak men lead to hard times saying coming to life in front of our eyes.
I suppose we will see who the strong men and women are in the coming years who will lead us to a stronger, more accountable society.
Feels like the Bitcoin and Nostr communities are a good start...
It's frustrating to see my dear fellow humans fall into the same ideological traps that have been so common in history.
Nationalism
Racism
Sexism
Xenophobia
Anti-Semitism
Etc.
(To be fair, I see much more examples of these on X than on Nostr at the moment.)
Can we all agree that there are both wonderful people and horrible people in every race, religion, nation, gender, and creed?
Can we agree that we all have the capacity for good and evil? That there is a dark and a light side to every individual?
Blaming society wide issues on one group just exacerbates our problems. It solves exactly zero problems.
To dole out justice and right the ship, we need to pinpoint individuals who are responsible for doing harm, and we need to hold those individuals accountable for their actions.
It doesn't matter what the color of their skin is, or what religion they practice. It doesn't matter who they sleep with, or where they are from. An individual who purposely does harm to others needs to be punished and deterred from doing further harm.
Perhaps this is too tall an order right now, but one can only hope.
If El Salvador can do it, the United States can do it. The UK can do it. The EU can do it.
The "Free World" has a lot of work to do to live up to its title. For starters, perhaps we should drop all the awful ideological, tribal thinking.

The darkness of this world can be pretty overwhelming sometimes.
Has anyone else felt the heaviness of just living through recent times? That sense of dread about the violence, corruption, decadence, and evil that's becoming more apparent by the day?
Thank God we have the light of "a fire in cyberspace" to give us hope for a brighter future.

Lowering one's time preference and focusing on what's truly important to you is a massive life hack.

Why does the Establishment have such a hard on about censorship on the internet?
Maybe because autists all over the world are exposing them as criminals and traitors, by doing their own research, connecting the dots, and publishing their findings.
This is existential for them. You don't see anyone this desperate unless their back is against the wall.
