I'm big on Farcaster. Thanks to everyone who followed and helped me reach this milestone in about exactly a month of using the platform. I really appreciate as well as the people who have followed the /dropglobalnews platform. I think this is a great community and I also like playing around with the crypto angle of it through staking, tipping, and earning engagement.

As I've mentioned earlier I just like the internet generally and am happy to find people who are doing their best to make it a better place for everyone. I encourage everyone using and building Farcaster to do their best and I'm sure that in the future it will attract a wide audience of users and hopefully be remembered as the first wave of second generation social media platforms that offer users a deeper web of relationships and better structure for consuming information.

I like Murtaza.

Years ago I thought we had completely different views.

But over the last decade I’ve become much more left-libertarian, after seeing naked abuses of corporate power. And he’s become more tech-libertarian, as he’s seen cryptography protect rights when laws can’t.

Glad to have him here.

Internet censorship by neutral platforms.

Collusion between goliaths to remove startups from app stores.

Manipulation of thought in the name of “AI safety.”

Cynical assaults on open source AI and defi.

Unholy coordination of government and commercial actors against citizens.

what was the turning point for "after seeing naked abuses of corporate power?" Iraq war? Afghanistan?? Middle east in general? others?

same tbh. i started an interest in politics as i was just learning to invest as covid was starting. so my views have whiplashed quite a bit but i'd describe myself as left-libertarian

Glad to see you guys getting along, only possible in the purple state

I wasn't familiar with him till this week but I've certainly got my eye on him now

before you became more left-libertarian how would you define your political views?

This is still WIP, but I've been writing a bunch about the cultural / philosophical differences between crypto and web3, which I think you just touched on. 

And what better way to communicate it than a meme :) 

Any feedback is welcome

What’s your opinion on pizza days, dressing up like panda on company days and the rest corporate scam?

How do you define left-libertarian? I think I might also fall into this category.

Network States

Daoism

I am so glad you have become more *left-libertarian*

Maybe you even one day become a centrist?

I'd live in /network-states ascribing to /daoism

It`s always good to listen to the other side and try to understand why the different views. Followed!

Murtaza has become a fav caster for lots of people here In no time. Yeah he is already big on X but there are other people who aren't in politics and now they are a big fan of him.

Just wonder why both of you have different views. Like what was the difference about

By abuse, do you mean doing something inappropriate?

Would be nice if you used simpler words that we could all understand 🤣
