I saw the meme haha George Washington made the biggest flip from anarchist to statist right after the revolution 😂

I used to like Hamilton because of that pretty good musical by Lin-Manual Miranda (It's very good actually).
Then I discovered Libertarianism and realised he was just another big government guy and that Jefferson was the based one.
Why was Jefferson the based one?
More Libertarian leaning
Opposed the creation of a national bank
But but but.. he wasn't fully like that after he came to power it seems like. So there's that (that's the case with anyone who comes to power).
Yea it’s not a problem you can fix with better humans lol it is a flaw in humans that we can’t handle that much power
Apparently that's why we have 'checks and balances' on those in power, in theory
And in practice, the people who are doing the checking and balancing are..*checks notes* ..those in power
LMAO
😂😂 and don't forget the piece of paper known as the constitution which is supposed to limit government
There's this meme about Europe being so statist that they have a government for all governments (EU)
🤣
Bureaucrats love having all these systems to check over each other’s work. So much waste 😂
Honestly the only thing that makes me remotely optimistic is the possibility of wide Bitcoin adoption and one of the consequences of it being reduction in the size of governments
This is the dream. It’s what made me hopeful about my life and optimistic about a better future for my progeny.
