What’s a cool account I should be following? Or one with fire memes?

Almost 20 years ago and nothing has changed and everything this man said has been proven true over and over again. “We bomb them endlessly and then wonder why they are mad at us.” It’s funny, I’ve had a few friends and family members who are legitimately concerned now that we could be in danger. That “what if we get bombed?” And all I can think is that entire generations in the Middle East have grown up with this fear as a permanent part of their lives. They never knew a time, in a dozen countries, in which they didn’t have to wonder “what if we get bombed?” What do you think that does to a culture? What do you think that does to their view of the west and Israel? After 50 years how could you *not* think that the US deserved to be destroyed? What else do they even know? None of this is confusing. These are the stupidly obvious and self evident results of the bullshit our govts have been engaged in.

This was one of the craziest conversations I've had in a while on the show. Super happy that we threw this together on a whim.

Yo @jb55 is there a way we can get a “copy link” to a Nostr note in Damus so people can view it on the web? I was thinking an njump link or something, but then realized this could be a good way to direct someone to Damus: Have a Damus.io/nostrnoteid URL and when you go there to read it, there’s a “get Damus to post” or a comment section where when you hit the “add comment” button it links you to download the app. This could be a good driver where people see content they want to engage with, and the “solution” is to get Damus. Would be up to help out for a bounty for this. I’ve had some everyday interneters ask me about this with Nostr.

Never keep in the fiat financial system more than you can afford to lose.

What if everything you think you own in the financial system—your stocks, your retirement, your savings—could be taken away in an instant, not ...

When govt desperately wants a war. When there’s a looming financial crisis that needs a scapegoat. And when there is major public dissent against the push for war… That is historically when false flags happen. Just sayin. Stay safe out there.

Someone else's opinion is not oppression. Someone insulting you, also is not oppression. The first is just disagreement, the second is, at worst, being rude. However, if you attack them, make "hate laws" that literally send the state to steal from them, restrict their actions or speech, or fire them from their jobs over it, that actually IS oppression. People in this country have become so mentally weak, that they become psychotic and violent when they hear something as innocuous as a contradicting opinion on very simple issues.
