Erik Valium on Nostr: The battle we are fighting against censorship, authoritarian governments, and ...
The battle we are fighting against censorship, authoritarian governments, and dictators who want to control every aspect of our lives is not just an economic one. It is a cultural battle where we must pay attention to every aspect of the Western cultural spectrum. The left has succeeded in whitewashing some of the most devastating ideologies like socialism and fascism, and they use that as a weapon by labeling proponents of free speech and seekers of freedom as "fascist".
They understand that the cultural battle is more important than the economic fight, as people generally prefer "nice stories" about a utopia over facts and numbers that prove reality. They sold the world a nice utopia and the ignorant bought into it.
We must fight back with culture, art, music, and books to defend our Western culture, rather than relying on the naive belief that "Bitcoin will save us", as that only addresses the economic aspect. In our social environment, with insecurity and fear preventing us or our kids from going out, and with violence promoted and carried out by the government, Bitcoin won't save us. Without a cultural fight, it won't protect us from the real violence of the world and the destructive ideas promoted by the extreme left.
Bitcoin is a tool, but if you don't use it it does nothing.
