recent posts of interest from the interwebs
A collection of recent posts from Nostr, a de-centralized, true free speech platform that is censorship resistant and where one can never be deplatformed (anyone interested in more info on this, hit me up in the comments or reply to the email notification). The ‘njump’ links will take you to a web page of the particular post, nicely formatted for sharing. Additional links added to a couple that will take you to the conversation that followed.

When it comes to Natural Rights, if you use the word 'but' when speaking of any, you do not support that right.
Example:
I support free speech, but...
Translation: I support free speech for me, but you arent allowed to say something I dont like.

Them:
Your so blackpilled. All you do is point out problems and tell people not to vote. What solutions do you suggest?
Me:
First off, there's your problem right there. Just like with politicians, you are asking ME for solutions when only YOU can know what will work for you and your situation. And as for voting, if you cannot change your MINDSET on that, which involves doing literally nothing, why would I expect you to take any other advice I would offer?
Until you change your state of mind and re-think your relationship with the state, nothing can or will change. Government IS slavery.

Contrary to popular opinion, we anarchists (at least the principled anarchists) don't advocate destroying things in the sense of physical destruction. Its more destroy in the metaphysical sense. Destroy the system through a mass shift in mindset til there is a critical mass of people who just won't play their game in any way shape or form anymore, then the system collapses upon itself. Now, if They start kicking in doors, well then its a different ball game. But the goal is to not let it get that far and that can only happen with a complete shift in mindset among the masses. The system is a symptom, the mindset is the disease.

Dear voters,
For four years they have shown us the president does not matter. They gave us a man with a non-functioning brain, and currently for all intents and purposes we have no sitting president. No vote matters. Whoever is gonna 'win' is already determined. All voting does is tell them you dont care its all a scam. They told you its a scam. Why participate?

Voting forces one's ideals on others who may not want that and there is a lot of guns to make sure you do play along. Voting gives people 'power' to make 'laws' that put people in cages for all sorts of non-crimes. Voting gives 'power' to make 'laws' that steal more of our money through taxation and inflation. Voting gives 'power' to allow large scale war. Almost all the world's problems stem from the vote. Because nearly every problem in the world is a result of control freak psychopaths who call themselves government (which means mind control by the way).
The challenge with overthrowing a dictator is that if those involved are still statists, they will likely just install a new dictator, often one even worse than the previous one. This pattern has occurred in Venezuela before, and it seems to be happening again.
The aim of the people is not to eliminate government but to replace it with one that caters to their desires. The root issue lies in their collectivist mindset, which prioritizes having someone else meet their needs at the expense of others. Given this attitude, what other outcome could they expect?
The true solution is individualism, not merely finding a new leader. When people take responsibility for themselves and move beyond statism, they will effectively render a dictator powerless through disregard.
What distinguishes progressives from conservatives?
Progressives exhibit traits of subservience, weakness, self-pity, victimhood, and resentment towards anyone who is stronger, more successful, or individualistic. They do not seek to exert their will by improving their own situation but through careful subversion, inverting values to drag others down to their level.
Conservatives agree with slightly diluted versions of everything progressives push for. As progressives push the Overton window further left, conservatives begin to agree with the progressives' original positions and claim their new stance is based on principles. Meanwhile, progressives claim to fight oppression and inequality, moving even further left.
Both groups resent individualists for not participating in this ever-changing shift of values and seek to corrupt them by inverting their values, convincing them that their virtues are actually vices. Conservatives accuse them of not respecting tradition or authority and advocating chaos, while progressives accuse them of being selfish, racist, oppressive, or capitalistic.
In our minds, the right wing remains conservative, and the left wing remains progressive, but this is merely a matter of semantics. Both groups move in the same direction, with progressives in the front and conservatives following not far behind. As Michael Malice said, "Conservatives are progressives, driving the speed limit."
An extremist is someone who firmly follows his principles

In each generation there is a select group of idiots convinced that the failure of collectivism was due to the fact that they didn't direct it

Delusion is a superpower for stupid and evil. 🤷♂️
Politicians lie, steal and kill.
Believe me, they are the living representation of the devil himself.
I have said it before, but whenever the topic comes up I think it is worth repeating...
Govt is a religion, & most of the believers are in denial about its religious nature. Which means it is an unconscious religion for which the root of authority lives in the shadow of most people's minds, allowing it to be much more evil than anything people would consciously accept. The justifications are always lies or delusions or contradictions.
It has songs, symbols, statues, monuments, ritual ceremonies, costumed authorities, sacred halls, sacred texts, black robed interpreters of said texts, violent foreign crusades "to spread democracy," and when all is said & done it's a bunch of people doing horrible things in the name of an imaginary abstraction that no one can point to or really even define (generally only the non-believers can provide a decent definition of govt).
If you don't consciously choose your guiding principles, then something evil will become your god, it's just how people are wired.

Humans have a weird bias toward the past. We don’t remember things accurately and history isn’t well studied. People often say the world is going to shit and that things were better “before.” Were they really? This is sometimes called seeing the world through rose colored glasses. Religious people seem to romanticize the past more for some reason. I think it’s because they don’t truly understand history. Not that there is anything wrong with believing in god but don’t act like the dark ages were a civilization of advancement. Don’t act like the religious crusades and other wars never happened. Don’t act like religion is all peace and love. And yeah yeah I know someone will say that the books are peaceful and it’s only human corruption that leads to these evils. But isn’t that more reason to value individualism over collectivism? The nature of religion leads to centralized power. The Protestant movement was literally an attempt to decentralize Christianity. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. It was only after Christians disobeyed the church that humanity took another step forward. Blasphemy! The printing press literally advanced humanity because it undermined religion! The greatest period of human flourishing, the gold standard, happened after the separation of church and state. Most people in the world still believe in religion so claiming that “atheism” failed assumes that the world is mostly atheist. It is not. And because no religion has objective evidence to support its claims, there can NEVER be any reconciliation or agreement amongst different religions. There will always be conflict between religions.
Communism is forced collectivism.
Fascism is forced collectivism.
Both fascism and communism are totalitarian regimes that suppressed individual freedoms and have zero respect for individual free agency.
Fascism is forced collectivism in the name of the state.
The ultimate goal of communism is forced collectivism at the global level.
So communism basically wants to be fascism at the global level.
This is a farewell note from one of my brothers-in-arms, one who took the art of the meme to a whole new level. A true master of the craft, and someone I just vibed with, which is very rare.

"The printing press literally advanced humanity because it undermined religion!"- The guy who said that knows it was religion that subverted totalitarian control of a system dressed as a religion right? State altar, prayer altar? What's the difference when it's the pope or the king you are bowing to. We're supposed to bow to nobody except God. Anyone else asking you to do so is not of God, they just have a God complex. Just my two cents. Excellent post as usual. 🌝👏
Great stuff, as usual! Your posts are often in my head as I dream up content for my Haman Nature show and 'stack.
Thanks for all you do!
