The first pride was a riot as a response to police brutality. They rioted hard enough that the state came to the table and gave them a say. Rather than stop the state so this could never happen to anyone ever again, they chose to remake a state that had more power but protected them.
BLM was closer with defund the police. That would have helped everyone. Most black equality movements want more government with them protected specifically by even more laws just like the LGBTQ movement.
The lessons that Bitcoins freedom lovers could take from these movements are there if we are willing to look. We can already see many people calling themselves freedom lovers actively fighting for more government that protects them instead of less government to protect everyone.
Don't let being a bigot stop you from learning the lessons of history that can help you achieve freedom. We are dangerously close to falling into the same trap as a movement.
Happy pride month. The first pride was a riot, now it's a national celebration.
Lesson: when the government oppresses you long enough and hard enough get up with all your friends and break shit until they stop.
