Ankh- Morpok

It’s a sobering realisation when it clicks that the only reason you pay taxes is that the government has a monopoly on violence. Then it really sinks in when you connect it to the mafia and a protection racket.

Having a weird feeling. I recently discovered @Quds News Network on nostr. I’d know about them during the genocide of Palestine. The weird thing is they’re now posting about 2,3,4,5 people killed by Israel but it’s not having the same effect as when Israel was. Killing 10, 100, 1000 Palestinians. It scares me that murder has become normalised in my mind and 2,3,4,5 no longer affects me that much. That scares me shitless. Murder is always wrong but I’m not feeling it the same way. I’m being conditioned.

The way I look at zaps is I spend more on cigarettes and alcohol in a week than I zap in 6 months. And zaps might actually change the world. And I’m beginning to think zaps give me a bigger rush.

I don’t publish much on nostr but I’m quite happy scrolling and zapping and reposting. I just find the stuff on here interesting. It’s not trying to get me riled-up. It’s nice #nostr #grownostr
