    Before he died in 2022 after contracting COVID-19, de Carvalho — known as Olavo — praised Brazil’s military dictatorship, claimed that Pepsi-Cola was flavored with stem cells of aborted fetuses, preached that tolerance for homosexuality was “incompatible” with democracy, and had an office in Virginia decorated with portraits of Confederate generals.

      The third one is the one that baffles me. The first is fash shit as is the fourth, and the second is bonkers but it’s chain mail style bonkers, but the third, these are unrelated issues. It’s like saying that letting people be left handed is incompatible with having clean running water

        No, I don’t know that atheists should be regarded as citizens, nor should they be regarded as patriotic. This is one nation under God.

    If anyone was ever confused about JACK, having let Nazis run rampant on Twitter before he sold out to Elon “hold my beer” Musk, I don’t know what to tell you man. It’s always been right out there in the open for anyone paying even the slightest attention to see. Most overlook that shit, as “the cost of doing business online”, but for some of us, who’ve always been more tuned into the threat, from everywhere, all the time, it’s been crystal clear.

      Tired: bragging about how you always knew the true face of evil because you’re just more tuned in than other folks.

      Wired: Sharing valuable, documented, normie news stories about how crypto is tied into crime and grossness at every level.

      Inspired: Mocking an extreme-fasting, psychedelic-chugging weirdo for giving millions to a fascist fan of a dead guy who believed there’s aborted fetal material in pepsi and who was an AIDS and Covid denier who died of, shock, Covid.

    btw, congrats to BI on another immaculate totally-not-nazi dox, which has many totally-not-nazis from bitcoinland up in arms. Why, anyone who spends their time being extremely into batshit insane Nazis and writing about how they think their social network needs Nazis could be doxxed - anyone!

    Nostr (without Zaps) is a cool technology but everyone around it has very interesting ideas. I may be biased because I liked the predecessor tech, Secure Scuttlebutt before that sunk into the depths.
