Short, title-less, often half-baked. Published anyway.

@koeppelmann A good recent example is http://stopkillinggames.com. People get that, so a mil signed on.

So e.g.

They say “You will own nothing and be happy”. We say “No! We will own our fair share!”

Gnosis is the Bluesky of money and banking. No more Cash App holding your money hostage.

@koeppelmann This is why I’ve been testing the language to use on BlueSky. You guys need to differentiate yourselves from “crypto” and use language that mainstream users can understand and embrace.

Write to appeal to the “Why” before the “What”, e.g.

@koeppelmann Similar shit in Japan but worse. Endless road constructions bcoz local gov need to spend allocated budget to keep next year’s budget high.

How do we address these issues?

Invited my wife, a non-crypto native, non-technical person, to @aboutCircles. She has a lot of questions:

Q.1 I now have 64 CRC, but wallet balance is €0. How do I exchange the CRC to Euros?

Q2. What can I do with my CRC?

Q3. How do I explain to my friends what this is?

@daecae @proofofjake @aboutcircles @metri_xyz But will I still belong to the last group(s) I was in? (So being in more groups = better?)

@sh4keer Right now, we subsidize the rich with our poverty wages to pay for police to brutalize us. Politicians work for the rich.

What if… when this political system betrays us, we can withhold the money? 💥

e.g. When Philip Brailsford walked free and collect a pension, we disown him:

In reply to @nicwn

@sh4keer “Un-honor” his money.

This is a money that each of us “create”, hourly, perpetually.

We honor each other’s money when we trust them.

When someone breaks the social contract, we un-trust them. Even if he had accumulated a fortune, it all means nothing if no one honors his money

@sh4keer Meanwhile, working class across America donated $75,000 to keep the strikers fed.

Word was put out through worker-friendly newspapers: “Take the Children”.

The response: “Send us Your Children.”

Police tried to stop starving kids from leaving on trains. When the mothers refuse

@sh4keer If you buy into the “a few bad apples” narrative, you’ve fallen for their system of control.

Here’s the story of “Bread and roses” strike at The American Woolen Company in Lawrence, MA. The richest and most powerful textile corporation at the time, it was owned by J. P. Morgan.

@sh4keer They hung signs all over southern Europe with fake pictures of textile workers in the US holding bags of gold, standing next to pretty houses. The ads worked. 32,000 immigrants came.

They worked from 7 to 7, 7 days week

On Jan 11, 1912, they worked out shouting “Bread and roses

In reply to @nicwn

@sh4keer “Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;”

23,000 people went on strike. Police camped in Lawrence. Reporters ran the regular stories of violent strikers.

Police were told to clubs women strikers on the hips & arms to keep bloody women faces out of the press

In reply to @nicwn

@sh4keer You can see the cop saw the camera pan his way and he decided to shoot a woman on live tv. He got his wish, video has been viewed more than 18 million times on X.

Shooter has not be identified so far.

Women and POC are disproportionately targeted by police violence.

In reply to @nicwn

@sh4keer It is estimated that 40% of police families experience domestic violence, or 15x the national average.

If 40% of kindergarten teachers physically assaulted their families, they’d be fired and the media would call them monsters on the news 24/7.
