The smartest people on the right are always the actual conservatives that the cult conservatives refuse to listen to. The smartest people on the left either get killed or socially ostracized from the lefty cult. Courage & intelligence get ignored or ridiculed by the right & the left has a murderous hatred of it.

#Nostr #Amethyst I was following like 1000+ people & now it says I'm following like 50. Any way to find my follows again?

Hate Shitcoiners & the people poisoning the world with fiat sacms? Do you support a finite money supply? Do you want monetary rules that keep Bitcoin a pure money, on a decentralized network, run by you & your peers? Become a #Bitcoin Knotzi! Download & run Knots to filter out the trash. You are not obligated to help people spam the network at your expense. Social consensus is up to you! Be a #Knotzi 😏

The real left & right divide: People who believe education & authority are granted by institutions vs People who believe reputation & alignment with reality are the only real indication of knowledge & the real source of authority. Those in the group who believe in institutional authority seem to believe that social consensus is science, & that social consensus possibly even dictates reality. The reputation group believes that reality is objective & discoverable & that consensus is so often wrong that it is mostly irrelevant. The first group is highly focused on social acceptance, the second group is not. The first group is generally more unified & coordinated, the second group is far more disorganized.

Bitcoin really connects all of the best people.

"I could have freed a thousand more of only they had known they were slaves" may be one of the most important & evergreen quotes in all of human history.

The left has been actively importing criminals in order to change congressional representation & reshape voting districts. They have also been actively manufacturing problems that historically make people demand govt solutions (facilitating & subsidizing drug use, legalizing theft, etc). These are serious issues, so people on the right are not wrong for wanting these issues addressed. The Trump admin's effort to address these problems has been to create an unaccountable federal police force which doesn't have to show badges or follow any of the basic protocols for making arrests. And like most self serving human beings, ICE agents appear to prefer pursuit of peaceful & productive human beings as opposed to violent gang members who might actually harm them. There are no quotas or controls that are likely to be effective in changing the way any coercively funded paramilitary force is going to behave. The only real solution to the immigration problem is to eliminate the social programs that attract parasites & criminals, while removing the taxes & controls that repel the intelligent & productive. The only way the govt can solve the problems the govt created is to get out of the way. Unfortunately, that is unlikely.

People on the left believe that slavery makes people rich, so they want everyone to be their slave. They want the law to require their employers to pay them more than they are worth & they want an illegal underclass to scrub their toilets & grow their food for pennies. Anyone who believes western wealth is a product of slavery is quietly telling you that they want slaves. Everyone wants to be wealthy. If you understand that wealth is built through freedom & trade then you want others to be free. If you believe wealth is the product of slavery then you want slaves. The more ignorant people are about reality the more backwards & ignorant their goals are. The way people view the world basically tells you everything you need to know.

This stupid mother fucker thinks he can maintain oil prices with threats. I think voting for this orange piece of shit may be the most embrassing thing I have ever done.

To see yourself as worthless is to essentially declare that anyone who attempts to do something for you is devoting their time & energy to worthlessness. To condemn yourself is to condemn everything.

Plot twist: Iran takes out Mossad & sets the US govt free from Israel 😂🙏

I don't think it's an accident that centralized socials started seeding doom p0®n related to sun spots, EMPs, & under water volcanos just as this war is getting started. Stoking fear splits people's attention & also keeps people pliable & easier to direct & manipulate.
