#hispano @Juan Ramón Rallo@nostr Chile podría seguir el ejemplo de Argentina con un presidente libertario. La ola liberal parece expandirse por América. En España todavía inexistente entre los partidos con representación o aspiraciones a obtenerla.

@Ape Mithrandir Here's what it looks like with China... The problem visually with putting together ancient empires with modern nations is the scale difference. Still it's fun to compare. It also shows the smaller size of medieval armies (at least in the west) compared to classical era. image

#history #timeline This one with modern Empires. Again, take the data with caution. Will refine later. image

#history #timeline Another attempt to chart imperial military, economic and cultural power. I still don't trust the data very much, but it's a good start.

#history #timeline Charting military, economic and cultural power of a few ancient empires. Military = army size Economic = gold treasury Cultural = book production (Data from chatgpt, so don't trust it too much).

I got a Framework PC so that it would be repairable, upgradeable and last longer. I failed to realise that I don't know how how to repair a computer... After just 6 months I've had to replace the mainboard. Thankfully Framework shipped it to me (free). It took some work and helpful guides, but I am now extremely proud to be typing this on a PC that I took apart and rebuilt myself! I did learn a lot...

1. UBI 2. CBDC 3. Social credit The totalitarian triad. You will hear a thousand well-meaning arguments for each of these systems. The institutional propaganda push for them is great. They claim that they would solve poverty, crime and save the environment. The truth is that once in place these 3 systems combined would create the most complete and total slavery ever invented.

@calle usecase for Bitchat: football stadiums, music festivals, mass protests. I think the football stadium one would be a fun one to test!
