General Discussion / Re: Emerging Narratives

"Unnecessary Imperial Entanglements" is only a slogan; all entanglements with Imperialism are necessary...
Sincerely hope people realize that they will need to be 100% behind what the crypto community is doing...most of us have no clue how absolutely dangerous it could become to be a part of these ecosystems.
Of course, in the end they will lose...but it would be really wonderful if the little people who put their necks out on the line would be able to truly see the world they wanted to help create, and profits be maximized for all.The why is important but there are better ways of doing that than demonizing what exists. Talking down the opposition shouldn't be necessary.
You might consider that Governments are nefarious, others might disagree and might appreciate their efforts; and yet you would both agree on what is being done here to progress what is possible.
If such narrative was written as a positive, to acknowledge how empowering the individual is liberating, it might go down better than kicking those who 'control us'?.. Even just abstracting it to the idea of how third parties are inefficient, might do better than tending to a typically libertarian slant and talking of 'others imposing the will of the majority by force'. There's no point in alienating half the political spectrum - just give them the tool that changes their reality and they will learn from that positive. Challenge what they hold dear and you'll scare them into wondering what viewpoint they are supporting.
2¢ - I would prefer that we're politically neutral, as that's less likely to meet resistance.
It will meet a great deal of resistance as soon as the bureaucratic mess of mobsters we call politicians start figuring out exactly what this means (if they haven't already) for their antiquated golden goose. All one needs to do to see this is check out SOPA, Net "Neutrality" etc...to see that there is no real neutral in this movement.
I mean we are talking about being neutral with one of the most amazing tools against fascism humanity has ever seen. Co-opts are the first attempts in this current "cyber war". Lets hope sheer hubris will make them choose to attempt co-opts and compete in the free market until the market is too robust for them to stop.
Good post CLains...very "stimulating".
I think many of us would agree with a lot of the political rhetoric but speaking as someone who lives in the shadow of our Big Governemnt in the DC metro area and having first-hand experience with how they treat people whom they regard as "heretics", I agree with this completely!
No point in directly picking a fight with them. Be prepared for "battle" but don't start the war!
p.s. Also, we know they like to use agent provocateurs to flesh out people whom they consider to be extremists. Been there so...word to the wise!!
Perfectly stated...don't pick it, but prepare like Rocky.
@Bytemaster...is your team chugging along in the snow in your preparation for the fight with Dolph Lundgren?
Don't you think you can peacfully convince people by practically showing them what's possible, so you don't have to fight them? (A distinct fight would be lost anyway). You should defenitely try that first before putting unnecessary road blocks in your own way.
What exactly is fascism? All kinds of people seem to use that term for all kinds of negative things. The narrowest definition that embraces all those uses I could figure out was: Political movement other than mine; negative; autocratic tendencies;
agree with the beauty of the name!
