Plenty of ways to use Bitcoin without the Internet. Bitcoin does not require any particular network protocol. You can transmit and receive over mesh networks, HAM radio, handwritten notes, even carrier pigeon. In the event of catastrophic disaster the network can adjust to accommodate the available communication channels.
You Aussies sure do a lot of begging.
I will not comply.
You should not either.
These measures by your government are egregiously authoritarian and a clear violation of human rights. You say it’s just “quarantined people”, as if it’s just fine to violate someone’s human rights because they’re allegedly sick.
If you aren’t going to die on this hill, then what will it take? Will you still beg and comply when they drag you and your children off to a “quarantine camp” indefinitely, like they do in China?
I will never stop calling out creeping authoritarianism when it rears its ugly head, no matter how loudly little despotic cheerleaders like you try to chant me down.
The No Agenda Show just did a segment on Mass Formation (https://noagendashow.net/listen/1373) Starting around 40:00.
Mass formation is basically mass hypnosis. You need four things to hypnotize the masses:
- Social isolation
- Lack of sense making in life
- Widespread free-floating anxiety
- Free-floating psychological discontent
When these conditions are in place, any solution that promises to take away the pain will be embraced, and people will find solidarity in the newfound community (cult) of like-minded hypnotics. When their solution (fix) is challenged they will defend it to the death, even if they know it to be wrong.
I left the Repugnant Party in 2007. I was a delegate to our local convention, and a few of us were trying to get Ron Paul nominated. We got shouted down by the establishment and they ended up nominating that awful RINO John McCain. It was so nasty and childish and stupid, and then McCain went on to lose like a dog. Actually he didn’t lose, I think he passed the ball to his teammate Barack Hussein, who put it into the goal. That was the moment I realized the Republican Party didn’t represent me. Donald Trump brought me back for a while but now I see that the Party hasn’t changed - they’re all still playing for the other team.
