Hey there, thanks for your comment. I see where the 'not-great-choice' concern may come from with the DUKI acronym. I looked into it, and I think you might be hinting at "dookie," right?
But DUKI (pronounced like /duːki/) is actually quite different. It's meant to sound more like "duty" or "kindness," with a bit of "cookie" thrown in. Funny how our brains make these connections, isn't it?
The thing is, DUKI stands for "Decentralized Universal Kindness Income," which has a pretty positive meaning. Words might sound similar, but words themselves don't matter that much. What really matters are the actions and effects behind them.
What do you think? Do you feel the positive meaning of DUKI could overcome any initial associations? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this. ^_^

I want to make it clear that while I currently don't have the power to say 'no' to this behavior and stop the post from being silenced, the message may face temporary setbacks or even seem dead, but I believe that 'All Lives Matter Worldwide' is unstoppable and will continue to resonate.
"Freedom as the right to say no" and "Freedom as the power to say no" inspired 'DUKI In Action'. These freedom concepts have roots in both historical minds like George Orwell and contemporary thinkers, such as Karl Widerquist. While the former is a truth to uphold, the latter addresses a practical challenge: what if exercising this right becomes unaffordable under unjust rule? As the saying goes, 'When the wicked rule, the people groan.' Thus, DUKI helps to empower all lives to say no to the unrighteous
