Carnivore since 9 Jan '24. Dissident since birth. Otherwise, just an older X'er who posts random right-wing content which some will find offensive.

I’m coming to the sad conclusion that there really isn’t much going on inside of 90% of people. While they have the capacity and capability to self-reflect and creatively engage in the world, they don’t. They desire ease, comfort, and conformity above all else.

Not only that, but they fill themselves with so much garbage, propaganda, and ideals from others around them who are similar; they mute any real voice or agency that does come from within. They are not interested in the dynamic creative possibilities of the world, but the ease of obedience towards those who know what’s best for them. Their motto is ‘don’t rock the boat’.

These people are fucking dangerous, not because they want to hurt you, but because they lack the capacity to truly self-reflect in a meaningful way. They don’t care about what is true, just that the rules are followed. They don’t want to feel uncomfortable within self-reflection, but to flee into the values of others they have been told are theirs as well and is the only right way to be.

It is a valorization of callousness, a celebration of conformity, and a religious respect for authority to such an extent that their own personal responsibility vanishes.

These are NPCs. They are agents of the system and an integral part of how it functions and projects power. They are little more that drones at the subservience of the state, and only a radical awakening that forces them into the existential angst of what their only life is and means is the only thing that can truly awaken beings that are so asleep that they have forgotten their own being.

Agency requires awareness. Moral agency requires self-awareness.

Either the state controls capital or capital controls the state.

Do you have a Medicat USB? I'm guessing he's running Windows 10 or 11. Have you considered moving him to either a Chromebook or a Linux PC?

First off, that sucks, sorry to hear.

Now, get your content on https://flare.pub by nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5 (the sharp mind also behind flockstr). The UI/UX is incredibly slick, for one thing.

Resilience: your content is published to your Nostr relays, with all the implied benefits that nostr brings.

Reach: I’m not sure how many users there are now, but we know that nostr is growing (or rising, as nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 might suggest). Even if it’s not your primary platform yet, the redundancy is valuable.

Large file hosting: I’ll defer to Zach for specs/limits but i know you can buy upload credits. Would love to see your content here on Nostr, brother 🤙

Continue publishing to YouTube and simultaneously upload to all other streaming sites you can such as Rumble and Odysee. Further you've got to promote your website and social media more often, down to the point of being obnoxious about it. I think there's a way to create an rss feed for a YouTube channel, but I don't know the specifics at the moment.

What's needed is a podcasting app that incorporates torrents as a source for audio and video. Qbittorrent allows subscribing to an rss feed in the app, but a podcasting oriented app would be better.

New boots are almost as good as old boots that are well broken in and totally comfortable.

I went out and sat on the backsteps this morning to get some early morning sun and saw one of my neighbors out looking for his breakfast.

We have to fix money period.

Gee, the decentralized cross border payment system being created by BRICS sure does seem familiar in some ways to something else.
