"Criminals should be arrested and punished by the state."
This is the crux of the matter. What happens when The State fails in its [perceived] duty? The state arrogates to itself the duty to protect the public. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHEN THE STATE FAILS IN ITS DUTY?
"This lecture does not prove that Widdowson’s arguments are wrong. It proves that parts of the academy no longer know how to handle a serious challenge without reaching for moral panic and professional exile."
“Why do you always need to shill Bitcoin”
Society has had the money captured and exploited, at the expense of the people, in every civilization we’ve ever had…
And we finally have a decentralized and secure monetary system that creates fairness, and you expect me to be quiet?
I simply will not. The debasement ends with Bitcoin
Breitbart said 'Politics is downstream from Culture'...meaning we needed to change the culture to influence politics....so, art and literature.
Larry's novels are right-wing FUN...with a capital FU, without being overtly political, so you should check him out, and buy his novels for your kids [maybe not preteens].
PlayStation is removing +500 purchased movies from customers’ accounts🚀
✅Films like Terminator 2 & Rambo, Apocalypse Now, Hot Fuzz, and Moonlight
✅This is due to a licensing deal end
(Now do you see why physical media is more relevant than ever? We should be calling for clear full permanent ownership of what we buy, because buying a “license” that can be “revoked at any time for any reason without compensation” is not ownership, it’s a glorified rental)
So, The Washington Post ran a test throwing political questions at the big AI chatbots, and they found that most of them have a pretty clear liberal bias.
Though, honestly, it explains a lot. If you ask ChatGPT how to change a lightbulb, it'll probably try to tell you it's a taxable event.
Bear euphoria. capitulation all over the timeline. Folks even calling for Saylor to be in jail.
And they can’t push bitcoin much under 60k - the same level it was at in February.
Bullish. 🚀
Bitcoin is a REVOLUTION.
It is much more than number go up. It is an invention which can free humankind from the long sad history of monetary debasement, which empowers few and taxes everyone else. In a fiat system the wrong people win. We all pay for it. It is unjust and unfair. Throughout all of human history we never had a monetary standard that did not dilute over time. Now we do. Those of us who are partisans and are fighting for it understand the stakes. Freedom, fairness, prosperity, less war, etc.
Unsound money is the issue of our age. Currently few see it, but this will change. This Fourth Turning is well on its way and the monetary issue will be resolved.
As I observe the current Bitcoin landscape and the attacks on its leaders i am reminded of the opening of Thomas Paine's second writing, The American Crisis. Written in December 1776 after Washington had gotten his ass kicked on Long Island and retreated from Brooklyn and through New Jersey, Paine wrote:
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in the crisis, shrink from the service of their country: but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have the consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem to lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."
Sound money has to win. Sound money will win. History will be kind to sound money partisans. This is about a lot more than number go up. Don't forget why we are in this fight. Spread the word. The system they run is evil. We know the antidote. Time is on our side.
@RinoTheBouncer Not going to happen. I am toying with the idea of acquiring a controller of some kind to play the upcoming Tomb Raider Legacy game, but if I can't play a game on PC, well, there are plenty of other games in the world.
So basically Bitcoin does this thing every 4 years where the entire market thinks bitcoin is dead because the price gets shitted on over and over and over and then it goes back up and everybody forgets about it and gets mad they didn’t buy when it was getting shitted on.
It took humans thousands of years to come up with a type of money that was decentralized, has a finite cap, and can’t be taken from you…
We’re 17 years in, and most people are trained by propaganda to think it’s some type of scam
Society moves very slow
