If enough people wrote enough FOIA requests, wouldn't it effectively nullify federal agencies by using up their resources?

Idea: Dark societies Local groups akin to social clubs with the common interest of existing outside the influence of government. Utilize privacy protocol to prevent legal liability. Utilize loopholes in corporate tax code to avoid taxes as a group enterprise, if needed. Utilize nonprofits to avoid property taxes. Need a strong legal front, could be comparable to a rights enforcement agency. Using a smaller version of the government tax burden as funding could create a megalith to begin dismantling the system. Society would be a mask to obscure personal activity. Monero-style cryptography could dismantle any requisite evidence for federal prosecution. Decentralized hosting eliminates a single chokepoint.

How can you get paid in Monero outside of government reporting? Accepting any and all answers.

Without government, the collusion between business and media to manipulate truth would be unsuccessful because the people would simply choose the truthful media. Government creates policies and subsidies to empower these businesses. It then extorts money through taxes, allowing the businesses to thrive after they bribe potential candidates with donations and potential detractors with advertisement money. This corporate-government merger is inevitable, as it only takes one weakness to allow government exploitation. The solution is to create a full economy outside government control (XMR) and a full speech platform as well (NOSTR). The problem in detection falls within localities. If you live in an anarchic town, you may have a chance of avoidance. No property taxes means you can avoid funneling money to the state. No police or central registry means there is no local reporting or enforcement outside of privately hired agencies. This allows local businesses to operate financially undetected and pay people untaxed. No police means the state or federal authorities need to send in their own resources WITH WARRANTS for everybody. Local matters most,

Build the for profits and non profits that will be needed in a pure, free market, anarchic state first. Then let people take the wheels off the state. It takes two engines to run an orderly society. One is the free market, the other is tribal philanthropy.

If possible, there needs to be a controlled disassembly of democracy (as opposed to a systemic collapse) to the extent required for maintaining civility in the transition to absolute order by anarchical decentralization. This will give anarchy a stronger start and help cement its footings sooner and deeper.

The rational mind knows that we must go through democracy from tyranny on the way to building a decentralized, ordered anarchy. If not built carefully, the state of anarchy reverts back to a lesser state in the absence of sufficient combined organization efforts to manage collective problems systematically. This is because uncertainty causes fear, and fear causes people to irrationally follow leaders and give their power to them.

Idea: User friendly data portal where voters can take a picture of their voting card, have the document automatically scanned and entered into a public-facing database to cross-check results for crowd-sourced election integrity.

You don't find love in a relationship, you build it. The fact that your efforts in building it offer so much in return is the amazing part. No effort, no love. Lonely socialists. Happy, loved capitalists.

Are presidential candidates getting older because the younger, internet-adapted younger ones are not willing to sell their soul to corporate interests as readily as them, knowing the way the internet has a tendency to reveal all ill intent eventually?

Weird how the facts always tell a different story from what the media tells you. This is a great data set to put inside a sock before you swing it at your progressive friends' faces since the inflation they caused has made it impossible to afford a roll of nickels.

Breaking down Mass Public Shooting data from 1998 through May 2022: Info on weapons used; gun-free zones; racial, age, and gender demographics - Crime Prevention Research Center

The Excel file with detailed information on the 88 mass public shootings from 1998 through May 15, 2022 is available here. With all the discussion...

97.8% of public shootings occur in gun-free zones.

Insulin for diabetes is hormone therapy. That's just a fact.

If you don't like talking politics, then get rid of the politicians.

American Revolutionary War, Civil War, WW2, modern day. 80 year cycle. It's all about to change for the better, but first - the fight.

NATO, but decentralized. "An attack on one innocent civilian is an attack on all innocent civilians"

I'm 40. I did what most others did when I graduated and took out student loans, then cheered against terrorism following 9/11. I watched as our rights were stripped before taking a subprime mortgage in 2007. When that ballooned, I had to give my house to the bank. I was working 3 jobs and renting out rooms to make ends meet before finally realizing it was already gone. I watched as we elected our first black president, but Ron Paul caught my eye. As a dedicated sheeple, I listened when people said libertarians are crazy, working 3 jobs left me little time to pay attention. Believing I could help people, I ran for office in 2015, Bd of Selectmen. I was a line-walking progressive that tried to implement community programs that affected the bottom line taxes favorably. Yes, I did exist. It wasn't until Trump took office and I started to see that Obama wasn't everything I was told, combined with my free market revelation that I became a staunch conservative, instead of a living oxymoron. Then Libertarian, then minarchist, then anarchist, and here we are.

When people make the switch to liberty and against war, they will notice that the predictions start being consistently correct. Take doom and gloom with a grain of salt, but start preparing for the worst. Better to be wrong and well off than correct and hungry. Worst case, you reduce your costs and dependence on the system at large. I arrived here as a progressive looking for a self-correcting system to base spending on when my friend said "THAT'S THE FREE MARKET!"

You don't get solar/wind to help the planet... you get them to gain independent energy production. You don't get an electric car to reduce emissions... you get one because you want emancipation from the fuel supply chain and you would also like a backup battery for your house. You don't get mini splits and a wood stove to end your carbon emissions, you do it because you want to control your home climate without being beholden to energy companies. You don't grow crops and hunt/raise meat because it's healthier... You do it because you want food security. The fact that every one of these saves money is a product of proactively doing the best thing for systemic independence. If you want to escape the system, you need to escape all of it and be able to in interact with it only when YOU CHOOSE. The prices will continue to rise faster. When China runs out of food within the decade and the energy supply contracts in 5-7 years because Russia doesn't know how to keep their oil fields going, will you be stuck holding the bag for the increase in food and energy prices? The (underreported) price inflation happening now has only just begun. Prepare for the coming storm before it arrives. Don't forget that you will need ammo to hunt/protect your prescient investments. They can't foreclose on all the homes when nobody can pay their mortgage. Just don't be in the first ~50% to stop paying on debt.
