Replying to Yeehaw

Governments are an organizational body that govern people, in democratic countries its the people who govern the people. They get corrupted and have flawed human nature but "the government" is there for many reasons.

The federal reserve, the money monkeys who have become criminals, are the ones printing money - unelected. They are not the government.

I can assure you many people who work for the government are not fans of inflation and do not earn as much as the conglomerates do, who bribe people in government.

I agree that they want fake safety but that doesn't exist either way. Low volatility and predictable currency is very good for societies as you have a benchmark for future value and can therefore exchange work.

Gold often drops at crashes, not because it becomes less valuable but because cash (or specifically liquidity) is king. Bitcoin hopefully changes this but it cannot replace functional and accountable governments - that's for the people to decide and act upon.

I think like LIV said it's difficult to discuss this in a thread

I think democracy is a scam, I think it's backed by dictatorship, and therefore dictatorship is reality and we should just be open and honest about it

Life isn't supposed to be in perfect control and it never can be

The strongest Lion is the ruler of the jungle.

Weak Lions cannot print their way to the top

Frans de Waal researched primates (chimps) for decades and he found that leaders were not the strongest but the most cooperative and facilitated collaboration which enables larger social structures.

Big bad, strong, leaders would sometimes fight their way to the top but it caused volatility in the group and ultimately was unstable - as always 2 or 3 smaller chimps would end up teaming up and murdering the big bad one because he would/could be selfish.

The survival of the fittest is true to some point, competition is good but life is not zero sum.

Decentralized responsibility is the only way to manage societies effectively.

Democracy shouldnt be plutocratic, I agree thats bad. Same rules and laws for everyone, especially the elite. But just saying its 'a scam' seems shortsighted and sensational.

Who watches the watchmen? Hierarchical responsibility with democratic transparency has been revolutionary, do you disagree?

I think the beauty of a dictatorship is that a big bad strong leader would get killed.

And a big good strong leader would be appreciated and a great community would unfold.

I think what's really interesting is like you see in Star Wars and Star Trek there are many civilizations all over the universe and I think the 'Plamdemic' was the beginning of that breakaway.

You see the likes of Andrew Tate breaking away from the gov and creating his own world with many loyal followers.

I think we will see all kinds of democracies and all kinds of dictatorships forming over the next 100 years
