> "Anarchists did not try to carry out genocide against the Armenians in Turkey; they did not deliberately starve millions of Ukrainians; they did not create a system of death camps to kill Jews, gypsies, and Slavs in Europe; they did not fire-bomb scores of large German and Japanese cities and drop nuclear bombs on two of them; they did not carry out a β€˜Great Leap Forward’ that killed scores of millions of Chinese; they did not attempt to kill everybody with any appreciable education in Cambodia; they did not launch one aggressive war after another; they did not implement trade sanctions that killed perhaps 500,000 Iraqi children. > > "In debates between anarchists and statists, the burden of proof clearly should rest on those who place their trust in the state. Anarchy’s mayhem is wholly conjectural; the state’s mayhem is undeniably, factually horrendous." β€” Robert Higgs, ["The State Is Too Dangerous to Tolerate"]( lecture given at Mises University (July, 2013) #voluntarism #anarchy
Wow, #TodayILearned there is a replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee and that it houses an abominable 42-foot reconstruction of the statue of Athena... 😦 View quoted note β†’ image #TIL
I thought to myself the other day, Americans love football so much, perhaps we should dispense with elections and just have the politics decided by football matches. And whoever gets to be president could be decided by the Super Bowl. You'd have the Democrat team versus the Republican team, blue versus red. You could potentially save billions of dollars on campaigns. Of course, the other parties should have a shot at playing as well. To me, arguing about politics is like arguing about sports anyway: we are mainly spectators and our opinions have little influence on the outcome of the game... View quoted note β†’
I like this rating system for Nostr apps, though I don't concur with all of these ratings. Perhaps @Zapstore or @Nostr Recap should publish ratings of apps regularly, in different categories (social/notes, other stuff, utilities, etc.). You really are missing out if you haven't tried Amethyst, my daily driver for nearly 4 😯 years. But I've often felt like I'm missing out not having tried Nostur since I don't use iPhone.

Can someone really love you, even though they never show it or express it?

I've seen a couple of girls with "444" tattoos and I had to look up what that means because I thought it meant they had been sex trafficked! πŸ˜†
With a military and government like this, who needs enemies? The US #GovtIsTheProblem image
