FOSS and direct democracy enjoyer, who accepts that Bitcoin will end Capitalism and we will all be better off without it.

Too much red meat and saturated fat will still kill you

There is no fertility crisis. There is a social media epidemic.

Netanjahu is generation printed out emails. Why the fuck would anyone assume he has anything of value to say about ai.

I don't think the government is working for me, but in Switzerland we have a lot of tools to course correct and stop the worse, or change things completely against their wishes.

The problem isn't the government in our case, but I'm pretty certain that age restrictions for adult content, games and even social media is actuallt popular in the wider population. This may not be apparentinf you suround yourself with libertarians or whatever who are completely detached from regular people.

As for what it can do for me? I think it will be an incredible tool for our direct democracy, as it will make digital signing of referendums and popular initiatives possible, which will significantly lower the cost to block unwanted changes by parliament. It also invreases accessability for government services for people with disabilities.

As for the promise that it is complete optional. we have the tools to hold them accountable. Ironically the E-ID even made those tools stronger.

I voted yes. Here is why:

We already rejected a proposal for an E-ID a couple years ago where the whole thing was run by a private company. Opponents and privacy advocacy groups had a long long list of complaints.

So what they did is they got all this groups on board and redesigned the whole thing. It is now run by fedpol, the gov police branch that already issues the normal ID and passport. It is implemented in a way that you only reveal information that is required. You can for example prove that you are over 18 without revealing any other information than just true/false. There is no tracking where or how you use it.

"but it will lead to unfree internet". Yeah that is already comming. Your gouvernments will force an E-ID on you without asking if the implementation is accepable. If they set the standard we will inevitability be forced to adopt the shit they are producing or outsource to google and apple. I don't want the garbage that comes out of your pseudo democracies.

So this is our only chance to get an E-ID that is as privacy respecting as possible.

Should have purged the revisionist altcoiners /s

I mean you have a convicted rapist as president who protects his elite friends who where involved in child sex trafficing. He was probably even involved himself.

So it does indees sound like the protection of the rights of women and children is not a priority in the US currently.

Financial markets completey abstracted risk of investment and wealth accumulation from the real economy. That capital concentration will somehow correct itself because the rich make the wrong investments in the markets is disproven by reality to a degree that you have to really go out of your way to ignore it.

It will obviously correct itself, but not because of choices people make in the market, but because more and more money is syphoned out of the economy into financial assets, which decreases demand in the real economy, which will eventually lead to a complete collapse of it, followed by civil unrest, a lot of horrible shit, the rich hanging from the street lanterns again, etc.

This is the most insane boost to popularity this guy could have gotten. Just a couple days ago, no one exept a couple boomers who still watch tv knew who this guy is.

Today is is on the frontpage of news outlets, accross all of social media and everyone talkes about how the fascist Trump regime starts to censor critics.

Even if this wasn't a calculated move, it willl absolutely increase the reach of this guy and not silence him

This calls to bend the knee and just accept the framing of the Trump junta is actually insane. And calls in question how it stands about your media competency.

There is not even a hint that the motivations behind this incident where motivated by left extremism, nor is it an issue in the bigger picture.

The liberals together with the republicans and their complete demolition and looting of the state with their neoliberal policies are the responsible parties for creating the socioeconomic climate that creates this mental healty crisis that leads to this shootings.

To single out this one guy that was close to Trump, and overall a completely deplorable being that incited hate against minorities and supported a genocide, and to demand everyone publicly cries a river over his death, when he is directly responsible for assisting a regime that causesd the death of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, with thens of thousands of children among them, is insanity.

You are on the wrong side of history fueling this fires. And don't think a second the right will not come after you just because you portray yourself as some sort of liberal centrist.

If that is the only thing that happens then you got lucky.

This looks like a concentrated efford to manufacture consent in the public to go after the political opposition. They will brand all of them extremist no matter how "center" or liberal they claim to be.

My guess is, this is all about finding new buyers for bonds, as stablecoins use this as collateral. But unlike banks they don't dilute them (yet), so I guess the hope is that they find new people who hold the bag of the US debt as the interest in classic financial markets is stagnating.

Long post (TL;DR being on the left in the wake of Charlie’s assassination, and my thoughts on the only path forward)

Thank you to my friend nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33wf6xcutrvyu8ydnpw4ukzae4dc6ksvmvx56ryvnyd568xunex4j85en9v56rvwfkveck2wrnxeckwatyddenwer2w3n8x0mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k2qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0f7rplw for being a sounding board. He and I don’t agree on everything, but I’ve found such a kinship with him over the years (as one of the first more public Bitcoiners I met who was super welcoming to me), he’s a good person and loves our country, and I have been talking with him about my own complex feelings around Charlie’s death and recent events.

It’s time for the moderate, left of center liberals to actually lead the way and the future of the Democratic Party. It’s time to be courageous and say what needs to be said.

They constitute a majority of voices, but the party, media, and good faith liberals are constantly hijacked and ridiculed by the hypocritical extreme, radical left.

The left that antagonize progressives and center left as being “liberal” and not “true leftists.”

Damn straight. Moderate liberals are exactly what the democrats need to lead on a platform of inclusion, American values, democracy and liberal values, and a place for everyone — not a place that welcomes extreme views, violence and violent rhetoric, shitting on American values, wealth, entrepreneurship, and bullshit purity contests and virtue signaling. A platform that says we’re proud to be American, and we can live together in peace and harmony and my fellow Americans are not my enemy.

And this needs to be said - the leftists, those applauding Charlie’s death — are not just a minority voice on the left/democratic side. They have been growing, and recruiting. They also openly, consistently profess their hate for America and fellow Americans. When do we on the center left say enough is enough?

It’s not too late to combat this, deescalate, and pull people back to the same, center left position and move forward. We need to stop being complacent and captured by this segment of the extreme left (who many don’t even vote democrat anyway because no one passes their purity contest!)

And if you’re on the left — for just one second, try not to whataboutism about the right. This is a post to you — I’ve critiqued the extreme right many times. This isn’t about them right now. It’s about you, it’s about me, and it’s about answering the call if we can actually do this and rise above and do what we need to do.

We cannot move forward as a movement, as a Democratic Party, etc, without this intervention and soul searching. It could very well destroy America. It’s time to be morally courageous and do the right thing, and stop being the knee to those on the far left who would rather see our country and fellow Americans destroyed (or assassinated) anyway.

I for one will fight for American liberal values and a safer country for my daughter to grow up in and be proud of 🇺🇸

You are seriously just parroting the framing of the right. The "extreme left" had absolutely to do with this incident nor are they involved in the stupit back and forth of what are basically two deeply neoliberal parties that are both completely detached from the people and just blame each other while having more or less the same policies that address none of the real issues that cause the socio economic conditions that leads to all this madness.

What you are asking for is more status quo, where the whole system is literally headding for a wall.

What you need is a real leftist movement with real left economics that finally start to get the rights of the working class back and make sure the owner class pais their share in a functioning society their businesses profit from.

Bernie, AOC and Mamdani are on the right way. I hope they can make a real impacct and turn your country around.

Yeah that is probably the litrature you actually red.

How much do you know about socialism appart from the red scare propaganda that is spread by most wester capitalist controlled media?

I could not understand it either before I was reading about what it actually is.
