I'd like to live one day, just one day, of my life where the US Empire isn't committing mass murder somewhere in the world
Ret. Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis being tapped for Deputy DNI is actually surprising, as a consumer of his yt channel #Antiwar
"After his victory at the Milvian Bridge, faithful to his promise, Constantine favors the church from which he has received support. Catholic Christianity becomes the state religion and an exchange takes place: the church is invested with political power, and it invests the emperor with religious power. "We have here the same perversion, for how can Jesus manifest himself in the power of domination and constraint? We have to say here very forcefully that we see here the perversion of revelation by participation in politics, by the seeking of power. "The church lets itself be seduced, invaded, dominated by the ease with which it can now spread the gospel by force (another force than that of God) and use its influence to make the state, too, Christian. "It is great acquiescence to the temptation Jesus himself resisted, for when Satan offers to give him all the kingdoms of the earth, Jesus refuses, but the church accepts." —Jacques Ellul image
Democide was the leading non-natural cause of death in the 20th century, surpassing war. And people are terrified of "anarchism".
The State never exists to protect or serve you. It always and everywhere exists to protect and serve itself in the interest of maintaining 𝗶𝘁𝘀 security, rule, and order. The US Empire is $37 trillion in debt. ...And in actuality, it's closer to $200+ trillion including unfunded liabilities. It's spending an additional $2 trillion every year it doesn't have. ...Even after plundering all of its subjects. Its debt-to-GDP ratio is 120%. ...And 25% of GDP is government spending. It used all of its time to parasitically expropriate resources to secure itself, not you; and now that the grift is waning, there is no magical "fix". --- That doesn't mean the largest, most powerful empire in human history can't limp along for a long time, even as it is crumbling. But the only choices that exist for the patricians all lead to bad outcomes for us plebs stuck at the bottom, and any genuine attempt to improve the situation on a political level will prove to be 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦, 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦. [insert Lyn train meme] To top it off, the liturgy of politics and the sacrament of voting are merely effective mechanisms used to placate the masses so they don't revolt against the ruling class – for real. --- In contrast, the long-term white pill is filled with a bottom-up, spontaneous order that circumvents and renders obsolete this system and the seemingly intractable situation we as individuals find ourselves in. That white pill is chock full of cryptography, agorism, stateless money, decentralized networks, open protocols, and sovereign individuals using them to take back control. The new Digital Age is upon us...let's "vote" by seizing it. image
