I have seen lot of individuals in support of and adcocating for free speech on this platform. I'm curious to see were people stand in regards to the right to bear arms.

If you are pro, why?

If you are against, why?

Great write up to share with all the devs that want to "move fast and solve problems"

Those most common phrase from those advocating for a surveillance state goes something along the lines of:

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to be afraid of".

My favorite rebuttal:

"If I have nothing to hide, you have nothing to look for"

Usually leaves them speechless 😅

I don't know who needs to hear this but judging/treating a person differently on the basis of skin color/geographical birthplace is wrong, end of story.

There are way too many people today that focus solely on the racist situations that happen to their in group. When you do this, you are consciously choosing to identify with one particular racial group and separating yourself from the others.

Stop sucumming to the propaganda spread by state media puppets. Judging peoples' character and creating societal division on the basis of race is what the rich and powerful want you to do. Remember, it's easy to remain unnoticed when your enemies are fighting amongst themselves.

Furthermore, I would argue that the people who are already aware that lies are spewed to them by the propaganda machine and still choose to identify with a given racial group are no better than the people spreading the propogada.

Instead, focus on maintaining a strong and open mind that uses sound first principles to rationally analyze situations and act accordingly. Know that in every situation, YOU are the one who controls how you feel; YOU are the one that controls how you act.

No one else but YOU can stop society from sucumming to racial war and financial slavery.

Choose your actions carefully.

I don't think you describing your present situation is necessarily hate.

Instead I am commenting on the way you CHOOSE to perceive and interact with reality. I take issue with the fact that you choose to separate your self from fellow homo sapiens solly on the premise of skin color, and geographical birthplace.

Both of these qualities have ZERO bearing on the character of a fellow human. By choosing to separate yourself from them, you are no better than the people who supported genocides in Rwanada and Bosnia.

Only the weak minded hate others based on weak principles. Strengthen your mind.

Capetown, South Africa? I have family in Johannesburg that I would visit when I was younger and always heard them talk about how beautiful it was to see the oceans meet

I never said it was perfect, I just said slow down. The ethos of Bitcoin is not "move fast and break things". Propose solutions, sure, but don't expect pressuring people to accept those changes to work. And if the history of Bitcoin shows anything, it's that changes to the code need to be small and carefully considered by ALL network participants. You're opinions are not law.

If you think the BTC network in its current state is not anti fragile enough to handle those issues, maybe you should concern yourself with projects like Bitcoin cash and others that thought they could solve all the problems themselves. Do not mistake your hubris for confidence, there are unintended consequences for each commit far beyond what we can concieve ourselves. Slow down.

What's the rush? If it is necessary and good, the majority will accept it. Usually, the people who rush others into rash decisions are called scammers/grifters

Please let me know if you find one

And you can say whatever you want, I don't think words like nigger, faggot, etc should be banned. Freedom is freedom, racism is racism. Stop choosing to separate yourself from your fellow countrymen on the basis of skin color.

It's funny that you try to insert your preconception of what I believe to attack my character and try justifing yourself.

To comment on the assertions you pulled out of your ass and set the record straight

1) I find both black and white power repulsive ideologies that separate people on the basis of a color (lol only retarded people think like that)

2) I'm not sure what you mean by "react", but if you mean correct the person and explain to them that using arbitrary characteristics like color to separate people is how things like genocide are justified, then yes I do react. If you mean react as throw a temper tantrum and get upset because someone said something mean, then no, I am not a child.

Now, in regards to the discussion we were having before:

You should seriously reconsider how you choose to react to other people's behavior. Maybe also work on opening your mind and considering that you might be wrong, and accepting when you're wrong to improve yourself as a person. Only the weak minded stick on to weak ideas. Have a nice day.

You are choosing to separate yourself. Your mind is lacking strength.

You are free to improve the code as you see fit, and everyone else is free to decide whether or not they want to run your improved version as they see fit

Just set up a Phoenix wallet. Works great, easy to use. Highly recommended over any custodial lighting wallet.

"And I took that personally"

If only you had been here before I lost my private keys in a boating accident :(

The problem is racism. Stop making it just about you. Call out any and all racism. Don't lable it based on what color is being racist to the other. Call it racism, ridicule it, and leave it at that. You choosing to take your stance the way you are is exactly what they want.
