You think breaking the gold standard fucked up America?

Look what happened to people like Boston Corbett and General Bull Nelson under the gold standard

Look at the Salem witch trials long before that

America has a fucked up gene pool of bloodthirsty cowards, psychopaths, and insane mouth breathing dogbrains

Any society who's life energy is repaid or rewarded by a currency which is controlled by a small power and can be debased, creates the atrocities you mentioned. So, yes.

That was all on a gold standard, but you're right that there was always debasement, even on a gold standard. I just don't think that caused these things

I think you're both right.

Fiat monopoly money allowed the bad people to become worse for longer.
