Privacy is a human right!

It is not that I have something to hide, I simply have nothing I want you to see.

Let's see how quick I can get banned from Facebook and their fucking bullshit... See my reply to the scammer

The fight for privacy isn't over.

This is not a pile of junk. It is actually a farm next to my home with tons of sheep & chickens. #sovereignty #food

The TikTok ban isn’t about TikTok.

It is a foot-in-the-door-technique for requiring IDs to use the internet.

The nostr devs and influencers need to start wearing nascar like suits with all the logos of the sponsors

Women didn't burn their bras in the feminist movement only to have their arses kicked in sports by mediocre men.

Do you believe that taxes pay for government expenditures?

Voluntary funding the way we do everything else. Mutual aid societies (which were killed by govt policy). Insurance cooperatives (also completely distorted by govt). I don't see any reason why we couldn't have voluntary police stations work the same as voluntary fire departments work, my local voluntary fire department works just fine. And having more people on call to provide security with some sort of uber/ride share like coordination should be a fairly easy thing to figure out given all the network tech available today.

Road building & repair could be crowd funded or could still be paid for largely by some amount added to the price of gas if people are willing to pay it. People already buy all sorts of products that contribute a % to different causes. Businesses will often build roads that serve their needs & if they can do so & capture good will from the community in the process they will. In any case, it will all be far cheaper without govt inflation & an army of bureaucrats to pay in the process.

Hmm, my thoughts are that Societies don’t work for the reasons you both highlight. One path leads to debt, inflation, corruption and violence to maintain it. The other leads to underfunded programs that are not payed for with free riders And violence as individuals take advantage of the gap and lack of resources to provide enforcers so strong men willing to perform violence take over. You are both trying to have your cake and eat it too, you are trying to find a way to have the society we currently have when the scale of the society is the root of the problem. The problems that exist in our society are caused by the idea of what a “society” is. Once you get beyond Dunbars number, ethical human societies don’t scale. Because humans cease to see each other as fellow humans with common interests of protection and profit working together for a common cause of survival. Humans then find and militate on differences between themselves. Because a natural law of humans are that we are supposed to be in small groups. Free riders exist because of the scale of society. State violence and corruption exists because of the scale of society. Crime exists because of the scale of society. No one will be willing to give up what they see as the perks of a society (labor specialization, combined resources) so for as long as human nature reflects these non scaling properties, the very attempt of a large number of humans, will generate all the problems inherent in the society you are trying to solve.

Who will drop the bombs??

I respect that you’re at least insightful enough about to ask this question. But It’s remarkable the lack of imagination you have if you’re just willing to accept the premise that the only way to fund community goods is by threatening to throw people in a cage
