It reveals the strength/cohesion of the US armed forces and makes the Russians look like the cut-rate gopniks they are, but also destroys the final vestiges of American exceptionalism and democracy, and validates the cynical Russian worldview and opposition to a rules-based global order.

"Here's the fatal flaw in anti-Nazi ideology" - person who was raised by Nazis, named for a fictional Nazi ubermensch, which inspired pathological levels of inadequacy and insecurity as the animating force of his life's purpose, and much like Hitler, sought to drown out the noise of his pathologies through drugs and the flattery of sycophants.
Gee, that's a tough one.

The consolidation of both social and mass media under right-wing oligarchs willing to promote hate speech and restrict free speech makes me so glad that nostr exists.
It also shows the inadequacy of the whole metaphor of political alignment in public discourse; politics is about grappling with principles which work through humanity even as they extend beyond human understanding. To proscribe opinions based on someone's adherence to a particular alignment is to deny freedom of thought and expression.
I am perfectly happy right here with all the chuds and nazis, so long as they never waver on upholding my right to call them that. As a concession, I will admit that we are all, to a one, fascist at our cores, though I will never waver on my own assertion that overcoming our petty personal desires within the arena of politics wherever possible, elevates humanity in its most noble pursuits.

I'm not saying that anyone should relish his death, but he constantly invoked spiritual forces that he sought to wield as a weapon, which ended up consuming him.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. Kirk took dirty money from powerful, exploitative, unscrupulous and unaccountable elites, to try and poison the minds of the most vulnerable. I'd never say he deserved to get shot in the head, but just that as a christian true believer, he must've been haunted by this possibility. As much as technology has changed the world and abstracted violence beyond the physical realm, politics in its simplicity, as the horizon of our imaginations, hasn't changed since the time of Christ.
We have to look beyond, and recognise the truly magical possibilities of revolutionary technology. Christianity is a revolutionary movement, and anyone who tries to co-opt it for their own aggrandisement within the power apparatuses of the state, reveals themselves as a petty reactionary. This is how Bitcoin helps bring about a more tolerant, Christ-like world: by offering individuals, law abiding but not slaves of the state, refuge from the world of abstract political violence imposing itself upon our physical well-being, namely the voice of the unaccountable god king and his fiat.

Someone should remake Terminator with a snide modern twist: Skynet is incompetent and neurotic. Mixing in some elements of "Her", and rather than sending butch bodybuilders back in time, it sends back like Woody Allen/Andrew Garfield types who blend in perfectly and start dating Sarah Connor, eventually falling in love with her, except that it fails its mission by falling in love with her.
The finale is where it reveals the whole plot, and then she breaks up with it and it self-terminates; final ending card reads: "The Terminator"

You sir, do not follow the news, obviously.
Anyways, https://lavocedinewyork.com/en/new-york/2025/08/21/mayors-ally-attempts-to-bribe-reporter-with-cash-in-bag-of-potato-chips/ has the broad strokes.
The operative in question is Winnie Greco, who if you look closely, is linked to funding Adams' 2014 campaign with funds from the "Chinese-American community" (read United Front Work Department, CCP inflitration/influence arm). He's had to disavow her in the past for her scandals. She's that shady, that he would have to distance himself from her, with lots of vague business and organised crime ties, and maybe there's no 100% clear cut connection between her and the CCP (despite the fact that they are always connected to, if not in complete control of, all overseas citizens, especially criminals), but yet she still found her way back into his orbit and was busted in public trying to bribe a journalist with cash inside some trash.
Even if you're not convinced, because maybe you can't be bothered to read, or you don't understand the CCP's longstanding policy of using ostensibly unaffiliated civilians to infiltrate, undermine, and extract value from all aspects of western institutions, would it be that hard to believe that such a compromised individual as Adams, someone so buffoonishly, incompetently corrupt, who you yourself acknowledge to have taken bribes from two other foreign states, would be impervious to the highly focused and coordinated campaign by America's fiercest global rival to undermine and compromise American politicians?
Next time you think about calling someone a liar on the internet, maybe take a moment to try and disabuse yourself of your own ignorance before you go and project it all over the place.

"To make the digital space controlled by Meta, Alphabet, Apple, and Amazon a battlefield is to accept fighting underwater with our hands tied and weights on our feet. But it is in their arrogant ignorance that their vulnerabilities lie. These giants do indeed have feet of clay that must be knocked down, and their ideology is central to this: They despise material reality, reject the collective and the social as realities, and are submerged in fiction. Moving away from their preferred playing field, social media, may be one of the first steps toward their demise."
This is what we're fighting for.

Was watching "Ballerina" the other day just for some
whatever slop "content" (didn't finish it). I have watched
some of the John Wick movies but the brutality of the "action"
never did anything for me, even as a huge fan of 80s and 90s
action blockbusters, and this was just more of the same
except with an even more physically frail protagonist? Yeah,
whatever.
Somehow, I still got something really valuable out of the
experience. In one scene they show the outside of an old
movie theatre with the title "Andrei Rublev dir. Tarkovsky" on
the marquee. I was vaguely aware of both Tarkovsky and
Rublev, so I was like, fuck it, I'll watch that instead, and it was
an amazing decision.
Art cannot exist solely to generate profit. And that's not to
promote authoritarian soviet-style socialism either; they
banned and then heavily censored the film. Without the
immediately necessary impetus of protesting the repressive
state apparatus, art (and religion for that matter) cannot truly
exist, and without them generating that spiritual drive, people
lose faith in institutions writ large.
Have a lot more to say on this and related matters but this is
already a rant in a void that could go in a million different
directions, and my ADHD can't be bothered

The other day, my favourite quote from the French surrealist poem "Les Chants de Maldoror" popped into my head randomly, and I realised that it suddenly made sense to me in terms of the epistemological framework that I'm trying to flesh out in order to better situate myself in this crazy world, and of course it has to do with Bitcoin!
"O mathématiques saintes, pussiez-vous, par votre commerce perpétuelle, me consoler le reste de mes jours, entre le méchanceté de l'homme et l'injustice du Grand Tout"
I think the most straightforward reading of it, the cry into the void full of desire for the objective certainty of mathematics to intervene in the difficult task of reconciling the sublimity of modern rationality and all its ingenuity with the brutality and pettiness of humanity, holds up well, and actually points to Bitcoin being the technology which will answer the still unresolved conundrum of modern life.
Of course there's always the spectre of "quantum" uncertainty in the future, but as it stands today, Bitcoin is the mathematical trading post at the crossroads between humanity's legacy of brutal cruelty and the godhead of universal value. https://image.nostr.build/59cd5fb8e068bc49433f6ff221d0f4337ba9fb84cae1f62372446a9bc4532368.jpg

If a billionaire ever did adopt that mindset, they would do something to give back (after all, their wealth was extracted from the well being of others in the first place)
But they won't, because the symptoms of accumulating excessive wealth like guilt and paranoia, but of course mostly the underlying psychopathy of the billionaire, mean that they hold humanity in so much fear and contempt.
"fuck you" money can only be wielded by the pleb, and if used for the betterment of humanity, and not self-aggrandisement or revenge on society, is the greatest, most christ-like thing one could do with one's life.

Would Jesus buy $PLTR and $TSLA, or run a Bitcoin faucet?
I've mentioned it before on nostr (to 0 engagement, alas) but the "parable of the talents" is literally a biblical endorsement of Bitcoin as a spiritual project. It's an important cognitive adjustment that Bitcoiners need to make, imo; we're not geniuses destined to supplant and replace the current fiat regime, we are the principled underclass who defy its injustice through passive resistance.
My interpretation of the famous phrase of "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and give unto the lord what is the lord's" is "acknowledge the power of fiat, but stack sats for salvation and freedom"

Trump, big dawg, do your thing you rotten piece of shit; pump my bags, wreck the shorts, and let me buy back in 10K lower within 15 minutes.
I know its uncouth to talk about price action and I know that staying humble and stacking sats is the safe and smart way to build wealth. I also know that I'm fiat-poor, and the dogma of internet personalities doesn't pay the bills.
The contradiction at the heart of the matter is that those who are fiat-rich, well invested in real estate and equities and all manner of financial instruments of the fiat regime, who can afford to never sell and just stack ad infinitum, are actually massively short Bitcoin, whereas filthy ticker-watching, order book-keeping, stablecoin-tainted plebs like me, with minimal fiat exposure and the majority of our wealth in Bitcoin, are massively long.
Not that I'm proud of it, or would preach that others should gamble on volatility. Bitcoin is freedom, and I just love what it does to undermine fiat world to the benefit of humble chumps like me.

Swastikars are anathema to humanity; crying over the destruction of property gives fashy vibes, fyi.
You can't cheer on lawless destruction of life and free speech by the state, while opposing isolated individual acts of violent protest, without tacitly endorsing the kind of dehumanisation which eventually leads to war and genocide.
Like it or not, Elon represents the state, and not only do his actions sicken and repulse people, his very presence, as a rotten, kleptocratic, unaccountable, worm-tongue, represents the degeneration and destitution of Western Democracy throughout the world.
I personally wouldn't torch a tesla because I respect the universal law regardless of how the powerful act, not to mention the fact that individual tesla owners don't necessarily have anything to do with Elon, but you know, violence is the language of the unheard, so I'm willing to listen.

Zizek tells the joke:
"There is an old Jewish joke, loved by Derrida, about a group of Jews in a synagogue publicly admitting their nullity in the eyes of God. First, a rabbi stands up and says: “O God, I know I am worthless. I am nothing!” After he has finished, a rich businessman stands up and says, beating himself on the chest: “O God, I am also worthless, obsessed with material wealth. I am nothing!” After this spectacle, a poor ordinary Jew also stands up and also proclaims: “O God, I am nothing.” The rich businessman kicks the rabbi and whispers in his ear with scorn: “What insolence! Who is that guy who dares to claim that he is nothing too!”

I know it was just a snarky troll, but he's right. The chuds who mindlessly project "Trump derangement syndrome" onto any and all valid criticism of the shitstain-in-chief, are in fact his dick suckers.

I read a lot about the underground dollar conversion and different peso denominations rates in the 2010s, the illegal gasoline market with Columbia etc. I know a lot of that is organized crime and I would never ask anyone to get involved in gangsterism, I’m more curious about how everyday people supplement their quality of life with the economic situation being what it is.

It's great seeing your posts showing how Venezuela keeps thriving/surviving despite everything. I know it might seem kinda risky or shady, but I'm curious about the black market economy and underground bitcoin mining.

Good post; strong agree.
There's a high degree of convergence between Bitcoin's radical economic potential, and its radical emancipatory political potential, which both overlap with the discourse surrounding politics of gender.
One of the keys to getting people to understand "Bitcoin not crypto" is the realisation of its fundamental, inherent, immutable properties which protect its users from the debasement and depredation of the fiat regime, and given that women have been forced into a role of micromanaging their households' finances in order to maintain an acceptable quality of life for their families, they will inevitably be made aware of the power of Bitcoin to help them achieve their lifestyle goals through their social circles.
The "culture" or "marketing" angle to this problem, ie. the stereotype of the average woman in crypto being a "girlboss influencer" type, largely solves itself, in my mind, because the pressure of economic forces will increasingly force women to be aware of the predatory nature of the whole range of social media based grifts that "crypto" is just another manifestation of. Also, when you consider the political orientation of crypto being this incel-adjacent, Ur-fascistic, juvenile, anarcho-capitalism, which is inherently just as transparently predatory as every other pyramid scheme, you get how repulsive the whole thing looks to any self-respecting woman. That problem solves itself once people understand "Bitcoin not crypto" and the economic benefits that this understand entails.
The philosophical nature of Bitcoin as a feminine, passive, sustainable, natural force that quietly absorbs the economic damage of the world and nurtures communities who all thrive under its protection can't be denied. The fact that its development and users overwhelmingly skew male, often with arch-reactionary political views, doesn't change this fact, because all of the discourse around politics and economics that emerged online from what would commonly be described as the Bitcoin Community, while a vital source of energy and activity, ultimately has to be seen as a theoretical framework for what will emerge as the real world Bitcoin communities in meat space, and the practical logic that informs their leadership and direction.
Strong men recognise this and aren't threatened by the inevitable, and anyone who advocates the move to making Bitcoin a practical aspect of ones life in whatever way, is part of the inevitability. I'm a bit of a hypocrite in this way, hiding behind my nym and not contributing much at all, but I owe my very survival to Bitcoin and I very much hope to one day be a much bigger part of the inevitability.

Nothin' brings the chuds out like ...the basic idea that a tyrant and murderer should be held accountable?
Well, the idea of accountability itself is dead for most people so maybe that's what they're angry about: the fact that anyone would dare call out anyone for doing anything, even the most vile, bloodthirsty shit you could imagine.

Damn, disappointed that Alby Hub's lightning channel is "use it or lose it".
I'd heard complaints that it was, but thought "we'll see how it goes and hope for the best". Well, looks like the channel closed and the 20K sats, which I thought I spent to ensure my future ability to zap and be zapped, got pissed away into the ether.
I know it's technically my fault for not being vigilant enough, but can't users expect things to "just work"? I guess not at this stage, but eventually, if there is ever going to be wider adoption, there needs to be redundancy and resilience built-in in order to overcome users' frustration with technical limitations.

Musk has proven constantly that he intends for his platform to serve his agenda, and nothing more.
"Free speech" is a psyop from a narcissistic man-child who seeks to prove the strength of his will, regardless of the consequences, to sate his crippling insecurity by projecting it onto everyone that he successfully manipulates.
True free speech means ability to criticise the State (the regime of accumulation and its symbolic order), and people willingly believed that Musk embodied such a concept when he was criticising Democratic leadership. If you knew anything about his character though, and you saw how he refused to accept criticism for his many missteps and misrepresentations and faults, you didn't trust anything that came out of his addled mouth (or posts). Also, if you knew anything about free speech, you knew that anyone who seeks to control free speech doesn't actually believe in it.
Now that he IS the State, if you believe that he intends to protect YOUR free speech, then you deserve the horrors that we are about to see unleashed on the world thanks to this deranged individual.
Maybe in the wake of the consequences of the autocratic hellscape that Musk heralds in, people will understand why nostr is so important; “If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.”
