Can any #nostr peeps give me a rundown of the (current) Bitcoin Core controversy?

Same to you! I'm just getting in fluids before I do more shoveling

For what it's worth, I appreciate your input especially as a non-American (for now..? 😅) I'd been thinking it would be good to join your show at some point to compare notes. he does not have a mandate for this.But he does have the political capital, and that doesn't come from nowhere. I think people want to believe this is all just Elon Musk's super villain arc rather than taking responsibility for how putting half the country into the 'basket of deplorables' would have consequences later. It turns out that coalition just grew and grew until it gained enough power to make real changes... for better or worse. To the degree people are ok with what's happening, we're mislead imo.I think there's definitely a lot of room to make that case, but I think it's arrogant to dismiss the valid roots of people genuinely feel betrayed by actions taken by previous administrations. Covid wasn't that long ago and it was highly divisive to say the least. To the degree we can say people are mislead about what's going on I would actually argue it's more about 'vibes'.
A lot of the enthusiasm I see for the radical changes is coming from people who see those being cut as existential threats. You can blame that all on propaganda and misinformation, but generally there are real harms to it that may or may not end up exaggerated. The root of the issue this only has political cover because many see those benefiting from the stuff DOGE is cutting as actual enemies, and I think they owe some responsibility for that.
This is why I'm not in favor of tit-for-tat culture warring, the ideal solution is de-escalation, but you can't put the onus of that on a single side. There needs to be broad recognition on where we and others have gone wrong, or else people like Musk will only gain more power at the expense of everyone.
Taking this at face value, you really have to think what these institutions have done to people to make them so apathetic (if not enthusiastic) about this. It helps to have a memory that works for more than a few weeks.

While I agree with you, I worry there is a bit of "boy cried wolf" scenario going on.
After years of telling people not wanting X Y and Z forced on them is fascism, nobody takes them seriously now.
I am concerned that there may be things to be on guard for. Sadly now all criticism of Musk & Trump is seen as interchangeable with incoherent woke screeching.
I like listening to the older leftists who kept their minds sharp. They didn't fall for the 2020 insanity and have a good grasp of what the actual threats are. But hardly anyone listens to them these days because they got memory-holed by those seeking status and approval.
Actually did some real shoveling today. 🌨🦾

Claiming there's zero evidence is giving away that there's a coverup.
An intellectually honest stance would be "there's some evidence but it's not convincing". Problem is you can't take that stance when you don't want people looking into that evidence themselves.

Poor girl. That's brutal.

The dead horse beatings will continue until circumstances change.

Interesting parallels.
Depressing, but certainly not out of the question...
