To put it more simply:

You are paying taxes on your asset gains because you got poorer, not richer. nostr:note105sp9wq73yc9une8xc9zeme0wvg7a8k9u4dvrnntx9h8reqxtg4s9t9g4r

Who thought this will happen in Europe's biggest Socialist country? 😂 #Germany #socialism

JUST IN: 🇩🇪 German authorities seize 13 #Bitcoin ATMs and nearly €25 million in cash in a crackdown on operators allegedly violating KYC/AML laws

Corporations and government agencies have spent decades and decades studying human behaviour, and they use this information to manipulate us and take advantage of our tendencies. Couple that with ignorance and incredulity and it becomes relatively easy to get away with it. The propaganda campaigns are setup to repeat mantras and eventually people start parroting these things and believing them without question. On top of that, the shit they put in food is very addictive, and of course it tastes great so we keep consuming it.

'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day' - a lie fabricated by Dr. Kellog about a century ago that still persists in their marketing of highly processed cereals today.

'Safe and effective' or 'trust the experts' or 'believe in science', it's all a part of the scam. People can't fathom the idea someone would slowly poison us for profiteering from all angles.

It is the duty and responsibility of people to inform themselves about this stuff in order to protect our loved ones.

Today I learned that ‘person’ comes from the Greek word ‘persona’ which means ‘mask’. Masks had a very different function in ancient times than they do now. A mask enabled you to become a different person, whether in real life ceremonies or in theatre.

A mask is the person.

We wear many masks as a parents, workers, friends and rebels in our everyday lives.

Our masks should never be taken away because that’s who we are as persons.

All this recent stuff about ‘proving personhood’ is horribly wrong. It’s about stripping away your person(s) to your naked biological instance, in the aim to fight ‘deep fakes’, ‘inauthentic transactions’, etc. All it does is remove your personhood for the sake of someone else’s utilitarian definition of ‘personhood’

Don’t let this happen.

What I have learned is that it’s all about proof of work. If you put work into your efforts and relationships that is what authentic. And it need not exclude silicon-based entities because over time (not soon) I might trust as authentic an entity that exists exclusively as silicon. The key requirement is not to have these proofs debased or counterfeited. Cryptography protects that.

In the end, don’t ever give up your rights or seek permission to ameliorate a ‘problem’ that was never yours to begin with, or accommodate a ‘solution’ that was never in your interest.

Be free. Be #nost

ok, I'm a brand new non technical user, first heard of NOSTR in a libertarian chat on Telegram, a few months ago. Yesterday on X, Reason posted an article "Nostr is a community-run digital network highly resistant to censorship and corruption." It caught my attention, so I found and joined this new platform for me. My interest are Canadian libertarian politics, general economics, general trucking as I'm a simple truck driver for a living, the carnivore lifestyle for my health and my family is most important to me.

As a non technical user, I must engage in my own learning curve and discover how I and this platform community can mutually benefit from my limited participation.

Cheers

I recently deleted Telegram. Lost a lot of access to interesting groups, but Telegram (and Discord too) are awfully bad at privacy.

We’re building technology free from surveillance, it’s not so complicated to run a Mattermost instance on your own server and open that to your users. nostr:note18257zl7t3ukrwq5dwuahqrkvckpujxalse68ku2xs0wnw2j2nnas3lst6h

Fiat lets people stay in the realm of rhetoric and never progress past to truth.

My boys have been completely Tuttle Twin pilled.

On this Elon/Trump talk, Trump just said “we would have no inflation” if not for Biden. This is false.

I think it’s important to clarify that there *was* massive inflation during Trump’s administration.

From January 2017 to January 2021, the M2 money supply increased from ~$13.3 trillion to ~$19.4 trillion by January 2021.

That’s an INFLATION of ~$6.1 trillion, or ~45%.

There is a LAG between monetary inflation and general price increases throughout the economy, and price increases do not happen uniformly (look up the Cantillon Effect).

To clarify for the partisans out there: this is NOT an attempt to make excuses for Biden or to say that the monetary and fiscal policies under Biden are good; they are not good.

The point is that it is false to say “there was no inflation” under Trump.

Monetary inflation *is* inflation.

UK is going downhill fast
