I condescend on selfishness and cowardice, yes.

The insane gaslighting from people who said Kamala Harris would start wars, and Trump would start none, who now defend this, and argue it's constituional is something that nobody's public reputation in politics should be able to recover from. I'm sorry. I don't make the rules.

2026-02-28 12:44:25 UTC

To the motherfuckers here who thought Kamala Harris was the neocon, I have nothing but a “fuck you” to say to you.

The American libertarian argument fundamentally comes down to the notion that Thomas Jefferson erred in restating Locke’s “life, liberty, and property” to the more radical “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.” Libertarians believe they are correcting this historical error. https://www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-crisis-no-14

Look, I’m not trying to brag or anything. But your attempt to rattle my confidence doesn’t work. I mean, TIME Magazine literally quoted and linked to my little couch that nobody cares today: https://time.com/7358089/ice-minneapolis-tech-open-letter/
The fact you would sit there and suggest that nobody is listening to me. When the truth is that my Substack is actually quite successful.
In fact, if Google Analytics is to be believed, Notes from the Circus is read by more people than all of Nostr every month. So please, keep playing this embarrassingly stupid status dominance game with me.

I’m glad you’re finding your peace. And I’m sorry that requires that you keep so much space between you and everyone else. Some prefer the solitary life. But this is not how one builds a civilization. It is how one leaves it.

And when this Trump regime falls soon, and it will, I’m going to enjoy watching you scream as your anarchist finance system is aggressively regulated and people are prosecuted for all the fucking money laundering and tax evasion.

Bitcoin Geopolitics “Experts” in 2025: If Kamala is elected, we will have World War III.
Mike Brock: If Trump is elected, he will not only fail to contain the conflict in Europe, but it will spread throughout the world.
Bitcoin Geopolitics “Experts” in 2025: Mike Brock has TDS is he can’t see Kamala as the warmonger. Trump didn’t start any wars from 2016-2020. He’s so partisan he can’t see Trump, with RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard is, for all his faults, the peace candidate.
*History advances*
Today, the world is on the brink of war. Europe is sending troops to Greenland. The US will be bombing Iran in a few hours. The US has committed acts of war in the Caribbean.
Bitcoin Geopolitics “Experts” in 2026: I’m taking the black pill now! Mike Brock still has TDS!

You adisingenousrect to assume that your reply would not be well received.
That you think you have any right to stand here and accuse me of being “disingenuous”, which is to say that what I truly believe is different than what I say. That the sentiments I express are performative in pursuit of status, as opposed to values. To that accusation, which any fair-minded observer would recognize as an ad hominem attack. And my riposté is, appropriately: fuck you.
Who are you to sit in judgement of me? Who are you to tell me that I have a false grasp of reality and that yours is firm? Tell me Daniel. I want to know.

I am explicitly calling for peaceful resistance against illegality. My positions are consistent with the best traditions of the the US Constitution, and the Founding. When a government becomes corrupt and tyrannical, responsible citizens of that republic must protect the popular sovereignty, from which the government derives it's legitimacy.

The funny thing is, so many rich and powerful people thought they were taking the safe path by keeping their heads down, by settling lawsuits with the administration, paying bribes, and publicly changing their political loyalties. Some of these people will insist in the coming days that they were simply trying to be a voice of reason from inside the Trump tent. Don't believe them. They sold their soul over to the devil.
