give me him credit for what? I said something completely different.
His idea was to ignore the video clip #1548595 and subsequent post. I told him I wouldn't. then used our exchange to write about why I wouldn't.
There it is, you finally admitted it. You dismissed him with “don't waste your breath” and “move on,” then took that exchange, fed it into AI, and turned it into your next post.
Call it a “rebuttal” if that makes you feel better. He still handed you the content you arrogantly told him wasn't worth discussing.
"Wasting" some energy, but whatevs.
It's ok. I never used the word ignore, or Bitcoin. Those are not the same words as respectively indifference and encryption. OP seems to think they're the smartest in the room and everyone else is retarded, but completely missed my point because they read my response as a challenge, while what I was attempting was to moderate emotion. Simply because you'll be angry with the next guy too, and if you're not it just means you're captured and biased based on some charismatic trick. I was empathizing with the feeling of anger because I have been there. This is not some hypothetical thing to me. Am speaking from experience.
encryption: Using Signal (or a similar high end cryptographic comms tool) is in this context more fundamentally important than Bitcoin if you're looking to move away from anger, because the anger comes from helplessness. It empowers you to organize / collaborate in private. Bitcoin empowers transactions, which, if there is a need to transact, is great, but it comes with a thick manual and that is only relevant later, once you have a baseline where you actually need to transact sovereignly.
indifference: Because you can do things out of reach (or at least asymmetrically expensive for them to disrupt or even notice) of the politicians, it matters less what they do. This means that you need to not always make it about them, because now there are things in your life that can't be touched. That doesn't mean you stop paying attention, it just means you can make rational choices instead of emotional ones, because you have your own safety net.
If you're looking for justice, you're never going to get it from a system built for order (unless your particular justice aligns with the interest of order.)
I think where we are missing each other is the civil rights piece. Power still has the ability to make that independence unevenly available. So when I share a clip like that, I want the “order” being described acknowledged for what it is. Some people need to plan accordingly.
This is the first time I've seen you shy away from content I post. You usually have something to say about the content. This time you are defending someone who told me to ignore it. What does they say about the actual content?
I actually did #1548595
Thoughts?
That was my post.
