@spectre @UncleIroh The problem is that if you don't get woke like all the other platforms, you'll be deplatformed by the payment processors and credit card companies which are acting as the "it's okay when a private company does it" speech police of the government.
@Tfmonkey @spectre
That raises an interesting question that I think will be answered in the next 2 years or so:
"Is it possible to build an alternative payment processor that cannot be captured or coerced into becoming another State tool?"
Cody Wilson apprently has the answer but I can find no details.
Ethereum settled more transactions than Visa in the last year and is trying to become the defacto settlement layer of crytpo. It's also becoming more centralized, so fuck that.
@UncleIroh @spectre Anything that cannot be coopted by the state will be banned/destroyed by the state.
Only power checks power.
@UncleIroh @Tfmonkey Christians in that time had to be sneaky as fuck painting little follow me fish and shit.the cathedral progress and control is like meta now.the Buddah ,Or The Jesus now would still see the only solution is to give up all possessions and wander like Kane,helping individuals,because there is no solution.Soon all will end in fire and be burnt away ,there control does not matter.They will infiltrate,corrupt and control.They constantly change the timeline thru time travel

"Anything that cannot be coopted by the state will be banned/destroyed by the state."
This is not entirely true. Banned yes. Destroyed no.
Christianity under total Roman rule was banned but not destroyed.
Heart beats raw Power over time, and it took centiuries. Just like Islamic suicide bombers will always beat raw Israeli power over a long enough period.
The opposite is also true: "The State can also be co-opted by the thing it seeks to co-opt/destroy".
