Happy Friday stackers 🤠

The things I've left undone, the things I haven't done properly, the things I've failed at - and keep failing at. But also, often I find myself wondering whether I'm even doing the right things to begin with, whether the path I'm walking on is my path or not. The question it all usually boils down to is how to serve the world to the best of one's abilities? And unfortunately, I don't have a great answer for that other than fuck around and find out (and each person has a different answer).

Trippy Tuesday 🤠

FFS obviously the title is supposed to be "A Means to an End" Missed the editing window by 1 minute :/

Ohh, Tombstone is a peach of a film!

Shout out to @billytheked for mentioning the movie somewhere on SN at some point. It's a good watch ( although my personal favorite Western is still Tombstone (1993) 🤠)

Well TBH I'm not that keen on North America, even though I definitely wouldn't rule it out since the "life & liberty" ethos aligns very much with mine (I've always said my highest values are "love & freedom" - which I think in its essence is the same as the aforementioned). Especially since there are quite a few bitcoiner hotspots there as well.

Nevertheless, in the Americas was more supposed to hint at South & Central America - El Salvador, Argentina, Paraguay, etc. being on my radar first and foremost. Perhaps quite obviously, I'm inclined towards the libertarian / anarcho-capitalist / bitcoiner type of setups. The fact that we pay 40-50%+ in all sorts of different taxes and no one bats an eye is one of the biggest mysteries to me about the fiat mindset and speaks volumes on how willfully blind people are in regards to our own enslavement. In any case, my overall thesis is that the West (USA included) is on the decline, and the Global South may be starting it's ascent. But it's obviously very early, I haven't even visited any of the countries in neither North or South America yet, and like I was having a conversation with someone in Riga at this year's Honeybadger... it's like, it's still a state. There's always the chance of the next politician or the next party coming and fucking things up. I don't know how we can get around that issue.

But if there's one thing I do know it's that Europe's decline is perhaps one of the fastest in the Western world and at least until there is the monstrosity called the EU, I don't have much hope for any of this region.

Since that competition was really a free-for-all with no guidelines in terms of what people could propose (other than that it had to be digitally distributable) I figured "art" would be perhaps the most all-encompassing term for ideas to be submitted :)

Listening to Jocko Willink's "Declared Hostile: This is America" (#1227568) reminded me of this old banger:

Strong and resilient!
