Unelected bureaucrats and politicians are hitting you with a hammer. There is no problem with the hammer. They aren’t missing the nail. You are the nail. Now i’m going to tell you the hammer is broken. because it palatable. That’s absurd. And exactly what we do when we say the “money is broken”

I swear “broken money” is going to give me aneurism one of these times. We have to level up from the “breaking” rhetoric. It’s not true. I get why it’s tempting, seemingly helpful, but the reality is it mucks all our aces: ethics. Those at the printer are gleeful when we use euphemisms that let them off the moral hook. broken is a morally neutral term. which describes the relation between a means incapable of fulfilling its end. moral terms like good and evil describe the relation between ends, the direction actions take us. The monetary system doesn’t need repair, there is no fixing it. It’s a means of control and extraction, and it works perfectly at achieving its ends. The ends are wrong, contrary to natural law: evil. That’s the grand slam. The only principle one needs to pick up to get the whole enchilada. Our monetary system is aggressing upon you. Formally, functionally enslaving you, your children, and the unborn. It’s a fuxkikg combine harvesting your life. It’s not a policy mistake, no one made an error and we are suffering unintended consequences. We are experiencing oppression from our systems design. yes, our system is going to run civilization head first off a cliff, and when that happens, there is no more money and no more civilization. Bit when we say the money is broken, its like telling people we aren’t running. I’m not surprised we are at 1% adoption when everyone needs btc. we are selling people water in a desert, 1% is not an indictment of the product, but of our tactics and sales strategy. The people aren’t stupid.

No value is created in the back alley throwing dice. People that think degeneracy follows societal collapse have inverted the correlation. “Trader” is a euphemism for “gambler” and the reason we can’t have nice things.

Debasement is definately not a tax. That rhetoric provides the Fed and our politicians cover. You don’t get a tax bill, and you don’t send a check to the IRS for debasement. When they print money, they are aggressing upon you, your children, the unborn, and the dead. Coercively extracting the productive energy, the real value created and stored inside that money. Its formal slavery, and we need to stop letting these fuckers off the moral hook.

“We can stop bemoaning the degeneracy of the youth and accept that they are simply a reflection of our elders’ prevailing moral character.” 👀 Too blunt? It’s kind of the entire purpose of civilization, passing on values.
