I find it incredible how people so willingly accept Government contracts. In practice everybody that accepts or is part of a government contract, especially if that government/State is not a direct democracy and the people didn't vote for that specific contract, it's in effect the most common and widespread form of legalized stealing. I will never understand how people accept this. Some benefit immensely by being close to the State, while others are oppressed and persecuted with everything. Don't you think something has to be changed?
If Trump manages to get a relatively substantial Bitcoin reserve before China, the game changes completely and forever. Because China has the production and skills. That's clear. But they don't have the capital or the financial/ownership/politics structure (i.e the reigns of capitalism?). And a move to the most pristine form of capital would truly bring a breath of fresh air to the US in that aspect. If the US has a better financial position, while simultaneously improving their manufacturing position (taking a bit back from China), then the world will be in a better position for the longer term. Because we need a freedom culture in the world too. We need freedom philosophy. We need philosophy and the US is probably one of the few places in the world where people still have the balls to say the truth. That's the most valuable thing in the world in my view. #politics #philosophy #geopolitics
The real problem of the EU is it tries to apply high-productivity, high-tech, Nordic like regulation to countries that still use donkeys to produce goods. It'll never work #politics #europe #eu
More than half of the people have no idea that they're wrong. In the sense that states/governments have bought them and what they call work or reality is not work neither real. #bitcoin
There's $1000 plots of land in New Mexico. And a bunch of them. I wonder why people don't usually do this kind of stuff more often? Buying cheap land and going to live in the desert with a van, etc? Or I'm probably missing something fundamental here :D image https://www.zillow.com/nm/land/?searchQueryState=%7B%22pagination%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22isMapVisible%22%3Atrue%2C%22mapBounds%22%3A%7B%22west%22%3A-107.26636502482243%2C%22east%22%3A-106.31879422404118%2C%22south%22%3A34.40406380828307%2C%22north%22%3A35.0597776313262%7D%2C%22usersSearchTerm%22%3A%22NM%22%2C%22regionSelection%22%3A%5B%7B%22regionId%22%3A41%2C%22regionType%22%3A2%7D%5D%2C%22filterState%22%3A%7B%22sort%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3A%22globalrelevanceex%22%7D%2C%22price%22%3A%7B%22min%22%3Anull%2C%22max%22%3A2000%7D%2C%22mp%22%3A%7B%22min%22%3Anull%2C%22max%22%3A10%7D%2C%22sf%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22tow%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22mf%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22con%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22apa%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22manu%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22apco%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%7D%2C%22isListVisible%22%3Atrue%7D
I think drug legalization in the West would reduce Cartel violence in South America very quickly. #libertarian #politics #philosophy
I know it's distorted but I see really a lot of people in European subreddit that despises free speech and democracy.

 Just look at how so many people hate everything that has to do with Russia, per se. At a time where EU is re-arming, having all these people/kids aligned with hate/war, I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of war doesn't brake out somewhere in the Europe/Russia border. This has happened before. The media pre-WW1 demonized the other "side". #europe #politics #culture
