phf: earth healthy living stuff. they are kind of like cool hoteps
phf: he had even some kind of school/commune where he taught music and magick. very old school counterculture. of course no longer mentioned on wikipedia for some reason.
phf: relevant track, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZAE8TOiZAs
Vex: i haven't heard of that. i missed him at the opera house
Vex: i think i feel the feel
Vex: one/one
phf: Vex: yeah, i mean it's just too weird to turn into a black month celebration line item
Vex: i reall do like that fisherman dub
phf: i ran into that culture at a raw food place in philly that was owned by (quite obviously, but not openly) former MOVE members, or associated people. also first time i heard bitcoin mentioned in public! young enforcers with giant dreads in between discussions of clearing pranic channels were talking buying bitcoins becase i quote from memory without exageration "it's a digital way to free the brothers from the international jewish
phf: banker cabal"
Vex: fuck that's so cool. i remember when i first overheard a bitcoin convo at at cafe. wow
Vex: they vasty
phf: this memory is from 2011! they were way tapped in
phf: also yeah fisherman dub is nice, sufficiently so to summon me :D
Vex: ok. this was prolly way more recent
Vex: you're a tripper man.
Vex: in a good way
Vex: i don't know some of your terminology like MOVE
Vex: it's okay
Vex: :D
phf: oh look at that http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2018-09-19#1852418
dulapbot: (trilema) 2018-09-19 phf: asciilifeform: there are `set it on fire' incidents predating waco. john africa's MOVE compound in philadelphia was set on fire after a standoff in 1985
Vex: i'm hearing the words now
phf: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2018-09-19#1852430 oh yeah i forgot about the fbi killing the bitcoin people part!
dulapbot: (trilema) 2018-09-19 phf: one of the move ladies runs a "raw foods" shop in west philadelphia, she don't talk about it much though. i had an amusing conversation with one of her locals, who, unprompted, went on a long rant about how bitcoin is a weapon against babylon, and how fbi is going to start killing bitcoin people, etc.
Vex: if they come for my eggplants, they can fucking have `em. I've got heaps
Vex: so nice to see you
Vex: phf
Vex: gotta sleep
phf: i sort of assume you're like that guy from movies that main character knew from back in the day, who's all like "yeah just my turnips and my homestead" and then they come for him, and it's suddenly rambo first blood
phf: aye, be seeing you
