Lots of governments are acting like desperate animals right now, trying to ban social media or criminalize free speech, and this after blowing up a pipeline, covering up the origins of a virus and forcing people to take experimental injections.

Of course, a lot of people have gotten hurt and more will get hurt, but every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The money-printing from the financial crisis was a big part of the impetus behind bitcoin, and the censorship of social media helped birth nostr.

Every heavy-handed move they make will only create more route-arounds, and every dollar they print will get sucked into the Great Vacuum Cleaner (also known as bitcoin.)

Sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better, so when I read ostensibly bad news I sometimes think, wow they’re really getting desperate, and to what new innovations will these intolerable measures lead?

I think a large part of the pay-op, perhaps the most important part, is the idea that “they” are powerful, and resistance is futile. But the truth is they are clueless about the sublime and complex nature of reality (or else they wouldn’t be trying to control you), and they are always sewing the seeds of their own demise, whether they know it or not.
