Nova Scotia closed the woods and people are just like, cool cool.

I’ll never understand the people who complain that bitcoin has failed because of ETFs, treasury companies, government interest etc. I’m still out here spending fuckin sats and playing with freedom tools. It works. Stfu. Cry harder, etc.

The Newfies knew: “The Newfoundland experience well into the nineteenth century was not that of lawful colonists building up the civic institutions of a state, but one of rugged individualists, shy of all civic authority. Even in the 1930s, the Englishmen on the Amulree Royal Commission who were sent out from London to determine the political and financial circumstances of the island were shocked to find hardly any municipal government outside the city of St. John’s” - Don’t Tell The Newfoundlanders: The True Story of Newfoundland’s Confederation With Canada By Greg Malone #Newfoundland #sovereignty

Yesterday, in a fairly normie group chat I’m in for skateboarding, I posted a meme about taxation and cheekily said “Taxation is theft”. What followed was me being berated about how good government programs in Canada are, and yes, they even brought up “Who will build the roads”. But what was most striking was the ad hoc arguments on my character/personality. I’m not denying I can be an asshole. The truth just hurts sometimes. There was a clear unwillingness to have a real conversation. They all defended taxation adamantly with very little criticism of the system. I imagined even the most lefty tax payer would complain about upwards of 40% of their salaries going to the government each year. But they seemed very content with it.

The quiet part has been officially said out loud. “It’s kinda like early ICOs where you have like a posse of people you bring into the token”.

With each passing day I become more and more hardened in the political ideology of “leave me the fuck alone and stop bombing people”.
