Three days ago I went on a business trip that involved a relatively long solo drive, and I made the huge mistake of putting on a playlist that I knew has this in it:
Three days later, it's still stuck in my head 24/7
No, not any more. But for instance they still can't institute marriage-equivalent legal relationships, which affects their property rights as far as inheritance and so on goes.
Yeah, and that's the state that libertarians are supposed to move in en masse and set up a freedom space through electoral majority... lol
Oh yeah of course. Even in Chinese-majority Singapore there's a lot of puritanism and, for instance, homosexuals don't have full rights. So imagine how it's going to be in any muslim country.
If we assume that mindset, probably Singapore or even Dubai. HK has fallen behind even in that rank.
EU is way ahead of the US in its deployment of a technofascist regime.
For two decades I tried to get a job and move to the US. Finally now I got the job, but I keep refusing to move. Europe is a cesspool, but the US isn't better anymore. Tolerable alternatives must be found.
While the piece as a whole is very obviously climate religion hysteria BS and contains false affirmations, the specific claim can also be true.
They're not saying 12% of Americans eat all the beef eaten in the US -- only half of it. The other 88% of beef-eating Americans consume the other half.
It seems plausible.
We need more people to be able to colonize space. Either through technological hyperdevelopment that leads to transhumanism (the option I think the most probable) or through sheer biological means. In the first case because we simply need more brainpower to reach such technological level, and in the second also because only a tiny fraction of us will ever be able to leave.
The problem with that is that it sounds like the "government" decides who is a hater, wastrel or gimp, and take their rights away at will. The solution is to dissolve the government, so not being able to "participate" doesn't become a real hindrance. But that takes us to my original point.
The BRICS narrative is probably the most retarded narrative the US-based international pro-Putin far right has ever come up with. It's up there with Pizzagate and QAnon.

In a just society, those who want to be ruled and thus be irresponsible underaged children forever should be able to do it while respecting those who want to take responsibility for their own lives.
The problem is that for those who abrogate the role of rulers over the cattle-people for themselves cannot tolerate the mere existence of non-cattle self-responsible humans.
This is an irresoluble conundrum especially in the West with our "equal before the law" delegated universal voting system, because the State cannot afford different sets of rules to different individuals. As a consequence, free individuals can only attain freedom by forcing the cattle people to be free too.
And they simply will never accept it.

By this reasoning, the US government as a whole should be indicted, since it builds, operates and maintains roads that are used for "transmitting" funds from all sorts of illegal activities.
The problem is that the US operates under an imperial system that trumps international laws, jurisdictions and borders. You just saw this: the governments of Iceland and Portugal enforcing the orders of the US government for stuff that isn't even criminal.
Also, he has a very important lesson for the censors, the grifters and the wannabe "content creators" who think they are entitled to something: principles are first.
It's not Bitcoin or Nostr. It's the reasons for which they exist.
If you violate the principles, people will simply move on.
UFC fighter has a lot to teach Nostr and Bitcoin promoters about marketing.
