Reading Hayek. Hard times strong men meme is a psy-op. It’s always been about free trade, and central planners.
Paraphrased:
Hungry and poor times create free trade
Free trade creates wealth, increases population
Central planners syphon wealth, stifle trade, and create hungry and poor times
Hungry and poor times create more free trade

Consequence: the EU is the central planners union, as it arbitrarily conjures taxes of inert gases in co2, restricts how much farming can be done in the poorest EU country with the most fertile land, and stifles to death free trade by regulation.
Short the EU. Free humans in Europe.
true story 😵💫
I love the european idea, or the idea that I understand by it.
The benefits of free trade happened on day one. Day by day the central planners are stifling and leeching more, and more. It’s gotten / getting to the point where people cannot afford to have families, getting more expensive, increasingly difficult to start a new business.
EU is anti-Europe.
Punctuated by wars and revolutions.
Weak men cave to central planners.
Both can be true.
Evolutionary pressure of hard times, combined with the economic freedom in good times = gradually, ever-evolving society
Not memorable at all.
This.
This is the meme you're looking for
Strong signal here. 🤙🏻🧡💜
Everything its a rich man's trick
Yes, meme is stronk here.
My beef with this one is that trade predates the state, and certainly empire. There is no roman empire, just hunger, and hunter gatherers.
First part is a psy-op 😅.
Fixed it for you
Free trade builds, planners destroy.
🎯
Was going to say, id imagine both go hand in hand
Strong men will not tolerate anything less than free trade
What I find interesting is the majority of people I speak with agree that large corporations including governments need to be broken up and reduced in size, but they disagree on how to do that.
One way is for an authority to pick the winner or favorite and suppress the other businesses and governments through regulation (central planning)
The other way is free competition to see which company and government survives.
While true you can still have some horrendous companies and governments win an open competition, it's exponentially better than someone picking their favorite and suppressing all else.
Open markets can self correct, central planning cannot.

Yes takes one or a few to engage in free trade to make everyone better off.
In the infamous strong men meme first image is the roman empire. This is precisely the psy-op: trade precedes state, not the other way around. Any meaningful state can only exist subsequent to free trade, otherwise there is no one to steal from!

Bitcoin fixes this
Hard money makes good men

to be strong is to embrace free trade and private property. to be weak is to want the state to give you things

@calvadev⚡️ shopstr??
this was a joke about her memory issues
🤣
To say that my Apple device, running on ATT, network, running via MegaCorp Power, funded by Wall Street isn’t a slave to all of them already. So tell me again how NOSTR is gonna free us? Tell me how Bitcoin is freedom again?
In fact the more I think about it, the more retarded this all becomes! 🤣
Did you meqn to reply to another note?
Don't stand under. Common law. Feel free to comprehend never stand under. "Understand" is a legal term. Put that in back pocket
