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.

It's ok. I never used the word
ignore, orBitcoin. Those are not the same words as respectivelyindifferenceandencryption. 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 fororder(unless your particular justice aligns with the interest of order.)
