IMPORTANT some of the last words before he got assassinated - by JFK

Nationalism vs Anarchism the two most misrepresented terms by different reasons. My personal take. Nationalism is often misrepresented as a form of governance instead of culture. I like my nations local customs, our pottery, food, landscape, traditions. That does not mean I dislike other nation's traditions and food, quite the opposite that's the only reason I travel. I would hate to see the whole world turn into McDonald eating, Netflix watching multiculturalism. If you go to Japan as a white person and stay there for 20 years, you will still be this white stranger down the street (but, is that a problem?). Anarchism is often considered an ideology which comes with some big unsolvable problems. I would rather describe it as philosophy, based on some principles. - That any organisms will try to expand their sphere of influence. - Power corrupt people and organizations over time and leads to abuse. Even in the highest of courts. So, with the basic understanding of these principles. A constant public effort and understanding of the struggle against these natural forces is necessary. Check'n balances, anti monopoly, decentralization, limited government, limited reach, simple law like.. - You can not hurt other people. - You can not damage our common nature (like poisoning the river that run info your neighbors lot). There will inevitably be some form of bureaucracy. But, the point is always to be sceptical, awake and in control of it's limits. What differ social-liberalism or liberalism most from Anarchism is probably the social, some times religious (ex. Tolstoj) aspect. - If you don't want any ruler, you need to behave in a way that does not require one. - Freedom is not a free pass on responsibility. Like social responsibilities. But, in the end it's more a question of decentralization of, and principles of power.

All our understanding of legality, law and conventions seems to be at free fall right now. Do not act surprised when the currency is debased, rules are changed, the bailout of banks and nations that does not exist this time around. When your deposits evaporates to nothing or in best case is converted to a less worth CBDC. When your pension gets reduced to rubble and all your assets connected to a highly leveraged system gets reduced to a pennies or goes into bankruptcy because it was built on fractions. Even your Gold ETF, Silver ETF and BTC ETF never really owned the underlying assets, they never existed! At that point legality and law will slowly start to make sense. You will understand the difference of owning something vs. promises.
