I saw a bunch of shit on X like "Follow me and like this post if you love Charlie Kirk" disgusting.
Even more disgusting are the Shitcoiners who are actually making Charlie Kirk meme coins.
That's the entertainment business for ya. Everyones milking it including everyone here all im hopes you read & zap. That's why I write about other things.
Idiocracy became bible for some.

It's been an eye opening few days. You can feel the shift in attitude on Nostr even, and not only in discussions concerning the assassination, but in the general discourse. My follow list is a bit lighter.
*snapping fingers*
Word
Anger sells.
Influencers sell anger.
You buy it with attention.
Stop buying.
Make something instead.

Very disappointed in some individuals here this week.
We've created a social hill climbing algorithm that's optimizing for the destruction of civilization.
This 💯. Can’t stand to see their fiat faces. Unfollow and move along.
That's exactly why I posted this earlier:

Makes me throw up it is disgusting as fuck
My attempt to respond to them about the priorities. Engagement bait won't help us turn back the tide of political violence, and won't help us defend any freedoms that matter

Yes they’re all trending on bitcoin podcasts and nostr notes/vlogs
On rare occasions, we should write about "other things". But focus on quality not quantity
(I don't claim any of my writing is quality. And I write too much about lots of random shit!)
Sensible people, who really believe in the freedoms necessary to hold back political violence, need to speak up with principles.
I think those people need to get out more, get rallied & start invoking the procedures of ballot we need to start sending laws back.
Influencers gonna influence... even if it's trash.
It’s not political violence, it’s leftist violence. It’s all coming from one side.
No shit sherlock... you noticed just now?! Pff... it has been developing for far too long 😁😄
I’ve got a feeling things are going to get worse before it gets “better”.
Influencers milking this is disgusting. Society’s lost.
Agree. Even his wife is doing it. Did you see the photo of her draped across his coffin on Instagram?
Heard someone describe it as "performative grief", seems spot on.
I couldn’t agree more.
That’s what happens when attention becomes a commodity.
Influencers only influence their followers, everyone gets what they deserve. It’s evolution
This is nothing new and we should not be surprised. The question is how do we fix it.
Culture we live in corrupt seed do fucked up shit to get the seed...
💯
Broken money causes broken incentives
Who are we talking about here
I mean, its free market capitalism doing its thing...
Completely agree
True. Influencing as the main source if income is the worst.
No shot you actually think we have anything close to free market capitalism after the Covid-era airline bailouts and bank bailouts in 2008 (to name a few)?
They are the digital pest.
Yes, social media influencers are capitalizing on content creation and curating, maybe more now post covid

Broadly the USA is so much closer to Corporatism for the 99% and Socialism for the 1% than it is to [idealistic] free market capitalism.
Agreed 👍
