I totally understand the logic behind people wanting fun rights in the US. But I personally feel much safer when there are no guns around. I don’t see myself taking up arms to fight tyranny, that just feels like it’d make things worse. So I’m with you.
I think it boils down to feeling like you are part of something (community being the most practical and rewarding) and that your possibilities aren’t being limited. (Poverty and and overwhelming work schedule or lack of options can have the same effect on people). That’s why I love this concept of decentralization, but like most things, a good concept takes a lot of work to actually realize.

For sure, In Jamaica too. Most of my friends have guns but never used them but just incase. I feel much safer here for sure. It is like when I leave Narita airport I get into G mode and transform into a different person.
Good point, and for some people, that community might be a gang/organization with ideals that that may not be inline with your true self but in order to be a part of it, you confirm. And that is a pressure that takes toll in many ways.
Oh yeah, it is interesting that we are here building communities and earning assets in the process and to the outside it may look like a completely different thing. We are at the forefront of something revolutionary and it is insane when you realize we are so early.
I've never actually seen a gun except in a holster. Part of me wishes I had experienced that just so I wouldn't be so soft, but the fact that I'm soft allows me to have an open heart to people easily too which has been good.
Community without the pressure and that respects the individual is where the real awesome possibilities come out. Community that rules by force don't lead to self realization even if you make it to the top. Dangerous tools can definitely make it a whole lot more complicated.
I love watching this place grow cause we all wanna be here.
