We can't do anything to resist.
In Switzerland you guys have the Veto Power and you could reject this. The EU is undemocratic to the bone...
Hey everyone,
I'm testing Nostr Nests. I'm inviting everyone to come and join me to chat about Swiss democracy at:
Cheers!
#bitcoin #nostr #switzerland #asknostr #swissdemocracy #referendums #libertarian #politics
That would be awesome, I'm always available to talk if you want to exchange some ideas on this or other subjects. Cheers!
Yeah, the randomized ideas of Hayek are pure theory. I prefer pragmatic, tried and tested stuff. The social contract society is what they have in Switzerland ever since the Landsgemeinde was institutionally created in the 1300's and then it bubbled up into stuff like the Optional Referendum (People's Veto Power).
Have you checked the Swiss model? https://thedemocracyupgrade.org/quickguide/#switzerlandandthe7democratictools
Please take a look at and consider these tools. If you want to talk more about I would love to :) always available for conversations!
We can do it now, individual by individual, step by step.
We have Bitcoin, we have Nostr, we have a private way to unite. It doesn't matter if we do it in our lifetimes or not. What matters is that we take small steps in this direction.
What alternative is there? Join the movement. Feel free to ask me anything.
Thanks very much for your comment! Very kind. In regards to your question:
What's the alternative to real democracy? What's the other better system? What's the alternative to the specific 7 Swiss democratic tools proposed there on the site?
I'm asking honestly because I haven't found anything better. And I'm always looking for better.
Where's the Anti-war movement in the world?
What kind of a joke world is this where all these influencers choose a side of a war?
What kind of a joke world is this where people don't understand that they are puppet of their undemocratic governments and ideologies.
Real democracy is the only to solve this.

If Russia was an actual democracy they would have never gone to war.
So what change do we really need in the world? Real democracy.
I'm trying to create a global network of Swiss democracy (real democracy) activists in the world.
This is the only way to end war. If people individually join and collaborate we will solve it.

Anybody interested in blockchain companies, Internet Countries, Networks States, governance models, powered by Bitcoin, Nostr, blockchains and decentralized social networks? In other words, the real-life effect of Bitcoin/Blockchains in the world?
- New internet countries & projects
- New company models based on the blockchain (more transparent workflows with Blockchain/DAOs)
- Blockchain/internet to real world projects i.e stuff like CityDAO, real world farms, factories, companies that are powered by the Blockchain
- New local & innovative Blockchain/Bitcoin powered governance models
- Blockchain villages, Bitcoin/crypto villages
- Governance models
- Freedom of speech, liberty, voluntaryism, real democracy
Follow me if you are interested in this kind of stuff because I am going to be looking for new projects and talking about them in this channel.
And if you know anyone that's doing an interesting project in this area please do let me know so that we can discuss and show it to the world.

What is the Citadel here, in this case?
Okay, so the way I see it, it's about you and the people that believe in this creating the alternative we want to see the world.
Our task is not to convince other people. Our task is to be the change that we want to see in the world. Creating the better alternative.
What is it that you want to see in the world?
For me it's several things but at least one that I've worked really hard is actually defining democracy (and the political model of countries in general). For me, the biggest conclusion for all the mess we're living in is because the people were actually never had the legal and political possibility of saying no and reverting specific laws. In Switzerland they've solved that (People's Veto Power), and that's why Switzerland is probably one of the best countries in the world.
I've compiled the Swiss democratic system into 7 principles (#swissdem7) and this will allow people to better communicate the systems in the new Governance systems that we create.
With #bitcoin we will be able to recreate our change/systems at any scale globally in the world.
What are waiting for really? Why aren't we co-founding a new Internet Country together? Who wants to co-found a new Internet Country together?
Hi #nostr,
Quick question, I remember reading somewhere about a client-side (front-end) based algorithms that were perhaps semi AI-powered for content filtering on a per-client basis.
Is this a thing in any client currently?
Where I'm trying to get to is, how will people filter exactly what they don't want to see? And promote more of what they want to see?
#nostrdevs #asknostr
Reddit also has this problem and it's very frustrating.
Also by the way, there's already some AI client-based algorithms for filtering content right?
eheh, I am just "shooting the poop" too regardless :D
But yeah, I'm also tired of the status quo and really believe we have to elevate the state of discourse, refining our political systems using all the available technological tools such as blockchains, Bitcoin, Web3, etc, etc.
What tools are we missing to truly bring the change we want to bring to the world? You know what I mean?
Yes, there are already some states in the US that have these tools.
In terms of scalability I don't think there's any problems at all. These tools are blind to numbers, it's just a matter of adapting the signature triggers to the population of the US.
Regarding adoption, it's the same as every other political change, bottom-up and top-down. I'm a big proponent of bottom-up first, i.e implementing the 7 Swiss political tools listed above in a municipality somewhere, sharing the results with the world on the internet and scaling from there. That's the whole idea why I've created the website, Discords, etc, to get the movement going.
Are you interested in this kind of ideas? I honestly don't see any better alternatives to this. The alternative is just more polarization, conflict and wars, in the really dumb, brute force system that we have today.
When exactly, in the US?
There's no tyranny of the majority in Switzerland because of the tools listed above. In other words:
Optional Referendums: Citizens can reject laws passed by the government through petition.
Federalism: Power is decentralized, letting regions make their own decisions.
Open Lists and Panachage: Voters pick individual candidates, not just parties.
People Initiatives: Citizens can propose new laws with enough signatures.
And in another more pragmatic way:
There is no clear majority because we have about 14 referendums every three months, totaling 60 per year at all levels: national, cantonal, and municipal. These cover very specific topics, such as whether to build a statue for X in our municipality, invest in nuclear energy in our state, allow states to define education infrastructure, or veto a specific law. In other words, the topics are so specific that they completely bypass the usual left-right, group-focused politics. You might win one referendum but lose another. No single group ever dominates because the people interested in referendums are always changing.
Ah, thank you good sir, very kind :)
I did create a wallet now, hopefully it works!
Their point about real democracy was that it suffered tyranny of the majority. But the thing is, the system they choose is the one that suffers from this problem. The federal government will eventually eat the US, with time.
Swiss democracy is the only system with no tyranny of the majority. It has referendums every 3 months and thus no group can ever win constantly. There's no tyranny of the majority because there's no majority ever. You win today, you lose tomorrow, and on it goes.
- 7 Principles of the Swiss Democracy
- People's Veto Power (power to deny any law at any level)
- Federalism (3 referendum levels, national, regional and local)
- Open Lists (a.k.a vote in the people, not parties)
- People's Initiatives (a.k.a let the people start new laws)
- The Constitutional Referendums (a.k.a raising taxes always triggers a referendum)
- Public Recalls (everybody can be removed from political positions)
- Mixed Executive Government (parties work together)
