Could they have caused any more tragic upheaval than killing Trump the day before the RNC? No wonder Biden hasn’t been worried about campaigning or if he can win.
Our minds resist the nature of it. But the same force did it to Kennedy and obviously has no problem doing it again when cornered.

Hitler, however, used more than fear to motivate his listeners. He capitalized on the self-contempt of those who had been swindled out of their property and moral values, and whose sense of self had been shattered. He saw that people like these had regressed to the immature state of adolescence and were ready to follow a leader—to reconstruct their own moral codes and personalities according to the artificial collectivist and nationalist ideal of the leader’s twisted vision. Hitler addressed and chastised them accordingly: “The German people [is] made up of children, for only a childish people will accept million-mark bills.”

Who said….
“The government goes on calmly printing these scraps, because, if it stopped, that would mean the end of the government, because once the printing presses stopped . . . the swindle would at once be brought to light.

Within the first 20 seconds he says…
“In my opinion, bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency with any value—full stop. I don’t even believe in ethereum. It’s because bitcoin has a decentralized management structure, a decentralized organizational structure, and it’s because bitcoin has a known monetary policy where there will only be 21 million of them.
Every other cryptocurrency in my opinion is an unregulated security, it has a CEO, and they have a policy of issuing some number of tokens based on what the CEO or others say. As long as that’s the case it’s really just like the government…they can just dilute their crypto. And so all crypto in my opinion is a fraud.
Bitcoin is actually an important technological innovation which is immutable digital scarcity.”

The black follow button goes away when you’re following an account.
But press where the button would be…and it comes back. Presto—account unfollowed.

“If foreigners no longer want them for trade, central bank reserves, private wealth funds, and the official currency of about a dozen countries, all those dollars have nowhere to go but back to us in a flood like our country has never seen. This flood will compete for goods and services in the US against the dollars already here as decades of accumulated trade deficits come flooding back all at once.
At that point, hyperinflation will not be hyperbole.”

Also saw that. Lost my follows several times trying different relays.
This was helpful:
I use the “Nostore” extension on iOS. (Works great). It stops and asks for permission when a Nostr client wants to do anything.
It’s shows the pending event as an xml page of what it’s going to do.
At one point I was following ~3500 accounts and the event to add/remove a contact was miles-long! Had to scroll for like 5 minutes to get to the bottom and approve it.
Updates to follow/following lists won’t scale. Hopefully this will get visibility in a Nip and be improved to not include all accounts list for changes.

(d) The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be:
The Age of Pioneers (outburst) The Age of Conquests
The Age of Commerce
The Age of Affluence
The Age of Intellect
The Age of Decadence.
(e) Decadence is marked by:
Defensiveness
Pessimism
Materialism
Frivolity
An influx of foreigners
The Welfare State
A weakening of religion.
(f) Decadence is due to:
Too long a period of wealth and power Selfishness
Love of money
The loss of a sense of duty.
