I have been toying with the idea of buying some land to start a #homestead , or build a house, or something. But I’m having a lot of doubts lately.
I see how people fawn over Putin, not realizing fully what he is and what he actually represents. I see political in-fighting in America about amusingly minor issues in the grand scheme of things. I see a non-negligible part of Americans actively being against supporting the Ukrainian war effort that could stop Russia here and now. I see rest of the West finding their heating bills much more important than said support. I see truckers and farmers in Poland not seeing past their nose to what’s to come.
This area of freedom is precious and unprecedented. And it won’t last if we’re not in the mood to collectively pay for kit and munitions for people who are paying with their lives. And sure, if you’re on the other side of the pond, this might not touch you personally. I guess it’s fine to not care too much about other people’s freedom. But for me, all the #freedom that #bitcoin and #nostr provides will mean shit if my potential homestead gets bombed to phosphorus covered ashes in 4-8 years time.
So I guess I’ll just get some more of the orange coin and wait to see how things unfold. In case I happen to need to get property somewhere further away from that God damned metastasis of an empire.
