#democracy = A political system in which citizens are private and the state is transparent. A system in which politicians obey the will of the people.
#tyranny = the opposite of the above mentioned.

Unfortunately, #democracy = #idiocracy, because it allows the ignorant and most easily brainwashed majority to #vote themselves more and more #socialism (aka "other people's money)!
That true democracy can't successfully scale beyond a large city state was first shown in ancient #Greece thousands of years ago!
I think you are spot on. Basically the elected politicians are the cover story for the real scam happening one layer below… The looting bureaucrats that are in no way accountable to we the people. What’s happening right now in the US is beautiful to watch as it pulls things to the surface. Corruption like that can not survive in bright daylight.
Agree. I think this is a statistical phenomenon as success and productive output are Pareto distributed and voting power is equally distributed. Also wealth is just a proxy for productive output over a long enough time span (assuming theft being absent). Therefore you’ll always get a 51% majority of relatively unproductive people to rob the wealthiest 49%. I can think of two angles to solve this:
a) make theft by majority vote impossible
b) align voting power with productive output of citizens
Thoughts?
Not sure how those would be actually implemented.🤔
My solution is simply to stop the #hypocrisy of coercive funding for the #gangsterment caste, because there's no legitimate source of such power!
No individual has it! So, it can't be legitimately delegated to the government members!
Then just create bank accounts for each gangsterment department and ask people to voluntarily send each money for their "services".
Whatever each department gets from the productive population, that's its budget!
That's how all of us are forced to live - except the government parasites!😡
I like the approach 👍🏼.
There is no moral case to justify theft. There are currently two ways by which the government steals.
1) By printing money and diluting the productive achievements of everybody to redirect resources to the state.
2) By coercion if necessary at gun point.
For 1) my hopes are with #bitcoin which can help to enforce absolute property rights for the individual.
For 2) the price of freedom is eternal vigilance and the 2nd amendment was created exactly for this.
As people I think the most important KPI for every government should be government spending vs. Private sector productive output. If that goes beyond let’s say 20% the leviathan is getting too big and it needs to get shrunk.
Individually we all need to remember that there are only two modes of interaction…
Voluntary
Force
… only one is ethically sound.
And I think this is your main argument that I fully agree to 🫡.
A few years ago, I had hopes for #Bitcoin to be helpful in stopping gangsterment abuse.
It's been turned into the Orwellian mass #financial #surveillance system through #KYC/#AML laws that are already normalised and unopposed by most livestock around us!
"Regulated" ETFs allow several abusive gangsterments to solve all their financial problems instantaneously by "nationalising" them whenever necessary.
So, even Bitcoin unfortunately is turning out to be a mass trap for the vast majority around us.🙁
The impracticality in my and similar plans is that it removes #power from the MI Complex, especially the suites with shiny badges, which historically only make a comfortable living through #state coercion, and are drawn to their vocation by lust for power.
So, they would pulverise any and all proponents of such plans!😡
I see your concern. We’ll find out if they can really capture and corrupt #bitcoin in the long run. So far I think everybody that messed with it blew up and it just kept going unfazed. Evil will never go extinct and the people you are talking about will always be around. I believe that productivity is the only sustainable and ethical source of power and FIAT can only go on for so long… breaking the money printer therefore is the most importing task of my generation as this is how they keep the racket going. Maybe I am too optimistic about it but I haven’t seen a better chance yet…😪
They won't mess with it; they will simply loot and steal it - as they do with every other valuable asset, as they have with ALL the Bitcoin they held so far!😡
ALL the biggest mass robberies and burglaries were done by armed gangs calling themselves the "lawful, legitimate #government" of some territory.
They are unbeatable at mass theft!😡
