The Federal Government is bloated, expensive, ineffective, corrupt, very violent, and a threat to the continued existence of the human species. "But sir, don't we need a strong central government and army to protect us from foreign threats?" Well I would say to that, most of the "foreign threats" are a direct result of the Federal Government's actions... Iran has shown the world that you can defend a country with a very decentralized army. All we need is a bunch of volunteer militias who will work together if necessary. There ain't shit the Federal Government does that can't be done better on a voluntary basis. In fact almost every single problem that people believe we need a Federal Government to address is usually made worse or created by the Federal Government in the first place. It's like paying a fox to watch your chickens for you, at the end of the day you are still going to have dead chickens AND you gave your hard earned money to a fox for no reason. If anyone thinks we do need a Federal Government please explain your reasoning. #politics #voluntaryism
Don't worry, I'm sure nobody at any of the 40 firms #Anthropic chose to have access to Claude Mythos will ever be tempted to do evil with it.
Around a billion people will be locked out of using these models for not having valid government ID. Most of those people are too poor to afford the upfront cost of the hardware needed to self host a decent AI model. Fuck KYC. image
This isn't very agorist of me but..... Contact your reps on and tell them to oppose H.R. 8250 which mandates all operating systems implement age verification on a national level. Mydemocracy is a web app my friend made that lets you look up your rep and use AI to fire off a quick email to them. Parents already have easy access to tools to monitor and control children's internet usage, making this legislation entirely unnecessary. This isn't about protecting children, it's about controlling the free flow of information and suppressing dissent by linking every internet user to their real world identity. This is a very slippery slope....if you look at this by itself it may seem like no big deal or a minor inconvenience. Zoom out and you will quickly realize this is just one piece of a massive coordinated move towards authoritarianism and total surveillance across the entire globe. It's not a coincidence that age verification laws are being introduced simultaneously across the entire world alongside digital IDs and CBDCs. If you actually care about protecting children, unlike the sociopathic tyrant scumbags who are trying to implement these laws, then you must not comply. Either we fight this or our children inherit a dystopian world in which the only freedom belongs to the ruling class. It's up to us. Quote below is from Lunduke Journal on X "House Resolution 8250 : “To require operating system providers to verify the age of any user of an operating system, and for other purposes.” The Federal bill was introduced by Rep. Josh Gottheimer, Democrat from New Jersey. And is co-sponsored by Elise M. Stefanik, Republican from New York." #privacy #ageverification #surveillance #CBDC #digitalID #FOSS #linux
Monero is finally coming to Thorchain. This means anyone will be able to do cross chain swaps into or out of Monero from chains such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, permissionlessly on a DEX. This will make the CEX delistings meaningless and open up access to liquidity, which should impact price positively. image
You should already know this but just in case, remember to turn off message previews in your notifications. Turning off message previews can also keep your partner from discovering you are a piece of shit. Or keep the cops from reading that text from your drug dealer in the middle of a traffic stop. ---So remember kings and queens--- If you don't want your messages seen--- ---Keep your lock screen clean--- #privacy #opsec image
Here we go...crush dissent. Same playbook as the libs when they were going after "domestic terrorists", different criteria. It was stupid then and it is still stupid. The FBI should be defunded not given more money to make up fake threats to go after. Feels like McCarthyism. image
I just won $100 in BTC in a giveaway on X. Not for the first time either. If you had subscribed to Thought Crime Trap House you would know that entering legitimate giveaways during a bear market are a great way to earn non kyc sats. Less competition for entries during the bear means higher odds. A few weeks ago Perptual Cow gave out thousands of dollars in XMR in a giveaway that only had 100 people enter it after the bots were filtered out. That's 1/100 odds...which is pretty good for a 10k usd payout. From TCTH #6: Giveaways/Contests: This is still good to do during the bear market, when dying projects are desperate for engagement on social media and do contests that like 8 people enter. Even during the bull market, you can still find really good odds of winning sometimes. Look for giveaways or contests that require very little effort and have low engagement on the annoucement tweet. I try to look for 1/500 odds or better. You can ignore 99% of giveaway posts because they are fake and are doing two things, farming engagement and farming addresses to sell to scammers. A fake giveaway will be like "comment your Ethereum address to win 4 ETH" with no obvious marketing reason behind it by a random account. People comment their addresses, and the scammers link addresses with handles, check the balances, and use your balances to target you for scam airdrops or phishing attempts. Instead look for legitimate projects, wallets, founders, etc who are doing realistic give aways or contests to promote their project or wallet. @vikrantnyc the cake wallet guy does Monero giveaways all the time for example. Sometimes you will see POW contests, like writing a twitter thread, best meme contests, or logo designs. If you find a legitimate giveaway or contest to enter, make a seperate wallet just for giveaways and contests. #freesats #bitcoin #giveaway #contests #nokyc #lighting image
Not a single positive comment under this post, at least people realize how fucked up this is. Say no to Digital ID! The only way to stop this is if most people in the EU refuse to use it. Stopping the digital id/CBDC/AI powered mass surveillance control grid is vital for humanity. This isn't about preventing a hypothetical dystopian future, it's about reversing a dystopia that has already started. Opt the fuck out. image
Your tax dollars pay for food stamps. Many drug users, who can't afford drugs that cost 1000x what they should cost due to the state's war on drugs, then trade those food stamps to drug dealers for 50 cents on the dollar. The drug dealers, if they want to, can buy luxury items such as gourmet award winning organic barbeque sauces or whatever the fuck with the food stamps. The state tells you it needs to steal your money in order to feed the hungry. The reason people are even hungry in the first place is because of the state raising food prices through money printing and war mongering. Meanwhile they force you to subsidize drug dealer's gourmet bbq sauce habits while you can barely afford to feed your own family. Fuck the state. #agorism #voluntaryism #politics #welfare
People can't afford to drive, eat, or pay rent thanks to the state's destruction of the currency, interference in free markets, and starting wars. But hey at least they used billions of the dollars they stole from taxpayers to go back to the moon! Yay for science! #artemis #NASA #space image
I bet #Circle will freeze accounts real quick whenever the state asks them to, but when it comes to actually protecting users they are asleep at the wheel. This company makes a ridiculous amount of money, has created a regulatory moat a mile wide with the Genius Act, and can't hire a few people to monitor twitter? People were tagging them for hours while more and more stolen funds from the Drift 200 million dollar hack moved through their infra. Fuck this backdoor CBDC. #stablecoins
If Q-day is really only 3 years away why would the market still value bitcoin as high as it does? It's not like there is animal spirits right now propping it up. And surely the market computer knows the snails pace of #Bitcoin development... So then is the market telling us a 2029 #Qday is just FUD? These are the things I wonder about. #quantum
Nobody can afford to buy a house, homeless population rising everywhere, and yet many places still won't let you build your own cob house without bending over backwards to get approval from local officials. Cob houses are cheap, efficient, and easy to build by yourself. Imagine if the state just let people put a roof over their heads without going into debt for 30 years.

Got sick of Spotify blocking my VPN ("your location doesn't match your profile" blah blah fuck off) and rediscovered old school internet radio stations which I forgot were still a thing. No accounts, no blocks, just music 24/7. Love it. Meanwhile, I need to work on stockpiling MP3s again like it's 2003 and make my own goddamn Spotify. Stop streaming everything, save some media locally. When the grid goes down you'll still have tunes with solar power. Also sometimes shit just gets deleted from the cloud and if no one saves local copies anymore, that media is just gone forever. Hoard data like the endtimes are coming! A media library would be a nice companion to Project NOMAD. #music #privacy #prepping image
So many people went to the No Kings protests today and waved signs against tyranny and authoritarianism. And yet most of them will continue to support tyranny by voting for more corrupt "lesser of two evils" politicians, by continuing to comply and pay taxes that fund authoritarianism, murder, extortion, theft, and mass surveillance, and by continuing to use the fiat banking system. They are LARPing to feel like they are "doing something" to fight back against the evil they know is there, while not actually doing a damn thing. I don't have any problem with protesting, protesting is great. What I have a problem with is people protesting evil while simultaneously helping enable that evil. Opt the fuck out.
