It's "solving a math problem" if the only way to solve for x in x = y +7 was to guess y until the equation makes sense. No Algebra allowed.
Chicken and egg. The CIA creates terror, justifies retribution, terrorism in US, justifies middle-east occupation. One of those things is always happening. I was simply stating "Occupying the middle-east" is directly causal to the vicious cycle no matter what point of the cycle we are in. In any case I think we are in rough agreement that occupying foreign nations is not good. Terrorism is not good. And the CIA being terrorists abroad is not good.
He absolutely did mention the Palestinians among other US led incidents in the middle-east. I have read a lot about him and his motivations. Maybe you just missed that one.
Osama bin Laden expressed strong grievances against the United States regarding its support for Israel and its policies in the Palestinian territories. In his "Letter to the American People," published in November 2002, bin Laden criticized the U.S. for backing the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestinian territories, which he described as "one of the greatest crimes."
Also, I implied that US involvement WOULD create more terrorism. I don't know how I wasn't being clear.
In that analogy I "care" about my neighbor's death, because I use it as a grievance. Which is the first point I made about Bin Laden.
Okay. An analogy. If someone kills my neighbor, and I use his death as a justification to attack a cop. I didn't "help" my neighbor. I used his death to justify my own violence. Rightly or wrongly.
I didn't say he supported them. I said he used them as a justification for terrorism. Like I said, It seems that you are just interpreting what you think I ought to be saying, instead of the words I am typing.
No, you have been pretty much just telling me non-sequitors about Osama Bin Laden and palestine. I am not sure why exactly.
Guy, I never said he did. Are you reading the words I wrote or are you just imagining what you think I ought to say?
And...? He orchestrated terrorist attacks. That was my point. I never said he ran a Palestinian charity.
There isn't a "The terrorists." Disparate groups of desperate people with grievances become terrorists. And if the US directly attacks gaza you get more desperate people with motive.
Literally Osama bin Laden said he cared about the treatment of the Palestinians as his motivation for the attacks.
Interesting lens. I would however posit that if you want more terrorism on US soil, occupying a middle-eastern country is the way to do that. https://files.sovbit.host/media/dd1f9d502c7951df47e8f8ed245e8bfa24f7e82c28f19399a8f0e74b06113a21/c5727f21c6f30770f5661162f490d25e6a436dc0be34e3be6a236bc09a6a6118.webp
Lucky for dollar miners they never earn money so the devaluation is a first order problem.
I literally told someone this about an hour ago. Amazing the circles we all seem to swim.
Well, I'm not taking it as a suppository!
I could get a good look at a bull by sticking my head, no. You could look at the butcher's ass, wait. It's gotta be your bull.
Look what I'm trying to say is if you want freedom money, you need to take responsibility. If you want slave money (even if it's built on freedom money) you can peddle custodial apps with closed source code. When push comes to shove people who took the steps to hodl BTC can take the steps to AT LEAST load a program like nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq555fk2 with an embedded node on their phone and start zappin.
I mean, okay let's work this out. Running a LN node (even an embedded node on your phone using Phoenix or Zeus) is THE step to take in getting a Lightning address. To avaoid a webserver you'd have to use custodial LSPs or a Zaplocker. Would that be good advice? Is his lack of technical detail the gripe or something else?
Hard disagree. Run a node is not irrelevant here. Coinos just had a breach and you wave it off as irrelevant? I mean pushing Bitcoin is cool and all but pushing Self-sovereign solutions is Giga, my man.
It would probably behoove a client dev to make a simple kind usage list for each Npub profile.
Lots of kind 34236 events? Probably find their stuff on Olas. 30311? Probably Corny chat or zap.stream. and so on. Or maybe a self selected badge that links to open that specified client.
IDK, just spitballin'
What do you think? nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug master of all features?
I researchedthe guy as soon as I saw it. His appeal was denied in 2023, he was found liable for roughly $106k in tax deficiencies and penalties. Taxes are theft yadda yadda but also don't lie to people and get them hemmed up.
Best advice around taxes is to do things that can't be taxed and SHUT YOUR MOUTH. Starve the beast, don't stand infront of it taunting saying "You can't eat me!" Because I assure you, it can.
Even if you trade your Bitcoin for fiat, you don't have to exchange it at the price the exchanges do. There should be a premium on YOUR sats. Don't give them away for less.
Apple doesn't allow zaps on any client. So, you have to work around it. By throwing apple devices in the garbage.
Tariffs have an inflationary effect on the US for the simple reason that $100 of stuff with an accompanying bill of $25 in tax, that $25 comes to the US, centralizing the money supply more. With dollars floating around in Canada and Mexico, it imports US inflation to them.
In reality, they should love tariffs so they can divest from dollars. Despite the "monetary" losses.
