Things get me thinking.
Things like statists on nostr.
I've exchanged back-and-forths with them two or three times already, but I've seen many others around with whom I had no interaction, and they invariably laugh at the idea of a voluntaryist society.
Their main objection is "yeah without the state, some violent group of people is bound to come and enslave everyone", like, duh, lucky for us there is a violent group of expropriating politicians already in power, protecting us from other violent people who could come about and make things bad for us. Because they don't like competition.
That's why enlightenment is not about to come too soon, because when a bitcoiner doesn't reach a mental state of freedom and independence from violent third parties, and comes to a decentralized, voluntaryist and anarchic establishment like nostr is, advocating the concept of state and centralized power... well go figure what an average joe is going to think.
The first... or rather, the only seal is in the mind of people, the people who believe that a small subset of people on the earth has the moral right to commandeer the lives, and the wealth, of others. Many of those who think like this are definitely lost to the cause, because that kind of reality is burned into their brain forever. Some will awaken to the only logical and true conclusion, yet the only hope is with the new generation, those who are still untouched and free from indoctrination, and can be left free to think for themselves, and, at most, lead by example.
Disobedience is the real freedom.
