No major social or other major media believes in freedom of speech, the marketplace of freedom ideas, etc... let alone in actual freedom and liberation... only in force of masses and whim over you. Meanwhile, racist Biden gets nominated, youtube search that comments and history. Expect liberation freedom oriented technology and crypto to fall to political global powers very soon. You are but their cattle, present your necks.

The main character was rather crazy so I'd describe fight club as hollywood-pentagon propaganda showing the 'dangers' of 'crazy terrists'. Oh and yes, buildings get blown up exactly like the buildings the US military blew up during 9/11. Also it's a lot easier to get glycerine from cooking oil. > Marcos

Anything more? Because, while you were sleeping, you dreamed up the Fight Club and it's already written. Marcos

freedom - evolution of jew-kristian fascism in the western cesspool

"the Reformation meant not the elimination of the Church’s control over everyday life, but rather the substitution of a new form of control for the previous one. It meant the repudiation of a control which was very lax, at that time scarcely perceptible in practice, and hardly more than formal, in favor of a regulation, of the whole of conduct which, penetrating to all departments of private and public life, was infinitely burdensome and earnestly enforced. The rule of the Catholic Church, “punishing the heretic, but indulgent to the sinner,” as it was in the past even more than today, is now tolerated by peoples of thoroughly modern economic character, and was borne by the richest and economically most advanced peoples on earth at about the turn of the fifteenth century. The rule of Calvinism, on the other hand, as it was enforced in the sixteenth century in Geneva and in Scotland, at the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in large parts of the Netherlands, in the seventeenth in New England, and for a time in England itself, would be for us the most absolutely unbearable form of ecclesiastical control of the individual which could possibly exist."

Offset: A credit card powered by trust between people
by realcr 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

Hey list, I am happy to announce the first public version of Offset: A credit card powered by trust between people. Check it out here: https://www.offsetcredit.org Any feedback is highly appreciated! A short description about Offset: Offset is a credit card powered by trust between people. Payments in Offset are secure, fast and privacy respecting. In addition, Offset lets you pay with any currency you like. You can pay with Offset at the local grocery store by scanning a QR code, or buy something online from the other side of the world, even from someone you have never met. As a merchant, Offset gives you the freedom to sell without having to pay the extra fees to a payment processor. Most importantly, Offset gives you the control. Offset is free and open source. There is no single “Offset server”, as Offset is fully decentralized. Your Offset credits fit nicely into your mobile phone, and you are the only one having control over those credits. To use Offset you don’t need a previous credit history, a bank account, id card, phone number or even an email address. You can open as many Offset cards as you like, without having to pay any fees. Your Offset cards can not be frozen, and your transactions can not be tracked. Offset moves the power of issuing money from the state to the market participants. Therefore, Offset credits are protected from inflation. While the currencies of the world are constantly depreciating in value, Offset credits hold to their original value. -- real

Key Takeaways: The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit Of Capitalism - Weber’s famous book set out to understand Western civilization and the development of capitalism. - According to Weber, societies influenced by Protestant religions encouraged both accumulating material wealth and living a relatively frugal lifestyle. - Because of this accumulation of wealth, individuals began to invest money—which paved the way for the development of capitalism. - In this book, Weber also put forward the idea of the “iron cage,” a theory about why social and economic structures are often resistant to change. .. In other words, capitalism evolved when the Protestant ethic influenced large numbers of people to engage in work in the secular world, developing their own enterprises and engaging in trade and the accumulation of wealth for investment. ...
