Great pod! Thanks.
Have you tried to run your own albyhub and connect it to your apps with NWC?
I connected my nostr clients (amethyst and nostrudel) and stacker.news and it works seamlessly 🤩
And there is no "voting our way out this" 😉
Cut the noise they try to subject us to.
Focus on self and trusted communities (online or in meatspace).
Defund them, day after day, by optimizing our fiscal footprint and engaging in dark/grey peer-to-peer transactions...
We won't change or improve the current system; we need to replace and break it down into smaller chunks. Real viable changes will be bottom-up, fuck the elites.
LFG 🚀
Nowhere, and that's the whole point. Status quo for the tyranny, whoever the tyrants are.
We don't need them, we have everything we need to defund them, in time they will collapse. 💪

Summary:
The text discusses Yuri Bezmenov's theory of ideological subversion and how it applies to the MAGA movement. Bezmenov, a former Soviet defector, outlined a four-stage process for destabilizing a nation from within: demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization. The author argues that MAGA exemplifies each of these stages:
1. **Demoralization**: The MAGA movement is described as being in a state where truth is irrelevant, and supporters are conditioned to accept lies and contradictions from their leaders. This leads to a population that cannot distinguish fact from fiction and is dependent on these lies.
2. **Destabilization**: MAGA is kept in a constant state of crisis, with energy directed towards manufactured outrages rather than structural change. This keeps supporters reacting to cultural issues while real power structures remain untouched.
3. **Crisis**: Trump is presented as a "savior" who ultimately reinforces the system he claimed to oppose. His administration expanded government power and corporate influence, contrary to his promises.
4. **Normalization**: The final stage is when the population accepts the new order as inevitable. MAGA supporters now advocate for authoritarian measures as long as they benefit their side, showing that the movement has been co-opted and no longer seeks genuine change.
The text concludes that MAGA has been absorbed into the system it claimed to fight, with supporters more interested in controlling the levers of power than dismantling them. The author warns against being used by movements that claim to fight the establishment and emphasizes the importance of independent thought.
Can Democide be financial in nature?
GPT4: Yes, democide can potentially be financial in nature. While the term “democide” traditionally refers to the murder of people by a government, it can also encompass actions that lead indirectly to death.
For instance, if a government’s policies or actions result in severe economic hardship that leads to increased poverty, malnutrition, lack of access to healthcare, and other conditions that could increase mortality rates, this could be seen as a form of democide. This is especially the case if these actions are taken with the knowledge that they will likely lead to an increase in deaths.

related to this vulnerability last january?
> The internal energies of a mainstream couple, for example, are almost fully directed away from any effective use. They devote their moral strength to whatever terror (real or imagined) is in the news that day, to a sports team, to hating a political party, and so on.
If we focus on the things we want, instead of those we fear, it will be only a short time before we start getting them.

Prebunking, trying to preemptively protect people before [the] damage occurs, is much more effective than debunking. So what the media described as a psychological vaccine against fake news is really based on the psychological theory of inoculation. So just as injecting yourself with a weakened dose of a virus triggers the production of antibodies to help protect you from future infection you can do the same with information by preemptively injecting people with a severely weakened dose of fake news.
