It's probably an unpopular opinion, but I think the US government becoming more aggressive will ultimately lead to more freedom. Every day, more Americans become disillusioned by being attacked from various angles.

People are becoming freedom fighters in unexpected ways. For example, we now have an association fighting for the right to have fucking cigars. Yes, that's a sign of how fucked things have gotten, but it's also bullish because it shows that people are fighting on fronts you may not even know exist.

I think this will have a compounding effect over time.

I'm bullish as fuck on America. It gets disheartening sometimes though. I have bearish moments and my family is prepping in case we ever have to leave. But I'm not giving up until I have no other recourse. The original ideals are worth fighting for even though they haven't been applied equally.

Americans are also pretty resilient people. We tend to get pretty unruly very quickly when pushed too far. Unfortunately, we can take quite a lot of abuse.

I think people should adopt the virtuous American ideals in other countries too. I hope we can adopt the good from abroad too. I want to see all humans thrive everywhere. But this is my home and I love it.

It saddens me to see Americans trash our home and what is good for the actions of government and central banks.

#Bitcoin and #Nostr are going to be super important in the coming years.

So your family is prepping to leave if needed for freedom related reasons or other reasons?

We are prepping to leave if it gets so bad that we can't realistically live here anymore, even if temporarily. That can mean many things, but I'm just prepping because I can't know the future.

I'm a patriot, not a fool. I like to prepare for anything.

That's a wise thing to do. The same is for other countries though more or less.

I should add that my plan even includes moving within the US between states. Lots to consider for stuff like this.

Of course. That depends on the situation. A rural area maybe just fine.

Matt I appreciate the sentiment but I’m afraid the dumb has reached critical mass here in the US of A.

It was always that way to some degree if you look back at our history. It doesn't require a large percentage of people to cause the tide to shift.

You have to remember that we made it through a Revolution and Civil War. I'm not saying it won't get messy, only that I think we will come through it better off. Fortunately, I don't think violence is necessary this time around.

I think our odds are better than they ever were for those before us. The enemy needs us to feel defeated. Don't give them that privilege.
