God, I'm glad I'm not American.
Nah, I'm proud to be an American. Separation of Nation and state. Sure the a large number of the population believes in the state, but that is true of most nations.
  • Country = the land
  • State = the government
  • Nation = the people
dude, I love you for saying that.
I think about this separation a lot. Love the nature (land) I'm in, lukewarm on the culture/people/history, fucking hate the bureaucratic/political arrangement/oke I'm under

Relationships and community are vital. If I were to only have community and quality relationships with people that saw the world like me then I wouldn't be alone but I'd be much more vulnerable.
Many years ago I realized that I'd been under a psyop by entire life. The only reason I learned this was because of how I'm wired. Same reason I found bitcoin. Curiosity. Not being afraid to disagree with literally everyone around me because I think they are missing something. Most people aren't wired that way. It doesn't make them less than me. It makes them different.
I believe in building bridges. I don't mean online but in person with relationships. I have found more like-minded people and watched more people one their minds in the past 5 years than at any period in my life. There are way too many doomers in bitcoin.
The US government is going to fail. I don't believe the people will. There are a ton of sheep but they aren't all as dumb as they appear. I'm hopeful. Bitcoin is going to slowly transform culture and how we organize ourselves. I'm bullish.

It is absurd and its gonna get more absurd. IMO this is good because the reality is that its always been absurd but those at the top were better at hiding it all. The emperor has no clothes. Never did.
We don't need these clowns and its gonna take a long time for a critical mass to learn that lesson.

We don't need these clowns and its gonna take a long time for a critical mass to learn that lesson. I'm more optimistic about that forecast. A generation or less
