Is it possible for me to pay my electric bill without doing business with a financial institution
Find out.
Tellling a system Institution that you don't have a bank account is one of the most evil things you can do. They are not prepared for it. Everything from taxes over fines over electricity bills works over bank accounts.
You not having a bank accounts means they have no idea how to treat you.
They made themselves vulnerable without realising it. It's one of the biggest exploits an organised movement can aim for.
First we need to build out the decentralised private communication infrastructure. Then we can go for it.
If youbare not yet ready for guerilla warfare, in the meanwhile you can ask a friend or a proxy buyer to pay your bills
I don't need a bank account for my wages to be garnished or to be imprisoned for tax evasion. I would rather not fuck around or find out just for the sake of it.
It's very simple to me. Some mutually beneficial relationships cannot be achieved through peaceful negotiation. Therefore, everyone involved has an incentive to support an actor which maintains such a relationship through threats of violence, even if it means they are subject to those threats as well.
As a result, governments have additional leverage over the population beyond what threats of violence achieve by default. Our government chooses to use that leverage in order to establish state utility companies which don't always act in their customers' interest and financial rules which don't all have net benefit for the people they apply to.
In general, American voters can't justify prioritizing the kind of financial reform you are interested over other issues. And I don't particularly blame them.
You'll find out anyways. Most people live in the past. They don't see that the system is in the midst of abolishing money and banks and to the surprise of many here the state, fully replacing it with social credit that will work vastly different than anything before. If you go bankless today you learn how to adapt to this different environment gaining invaluable knowledge.
In the future you don't need protection from your fellow human being or the state. You will pay taxes for protection to your technocratic AI overlord.
Violence can not be eradicated. Live with it.
Your response doesn't make sense to me. Why are you telling me that violence can not be eradicated? Did I say that violence should be eradicated?
Because you said that the state is the currently chosen arbiter for said violence and I agree.
At the same time I believe we can do better while the new arbiter of soft power (still violence) shifts to a technocratic model.
Don't fight the old fights. Prepare for the new system.
A government is a government. It doesn't matter who is in charge. What matters is how much the system facilitates negotiation.
I have heard people say that the ideal political system is one with a single benevolent and immortal dictator , but those people are wrong. Dictatorships don't respect citizens. It doesn't matter who is in charge.
A technocratic model sounds like a really fancy dictatorship. Have I misunderstood your proposal?
This is not my proposal. This is where I see humanity heading for.
And yes chances are abyssimal small that a technocratic structure won't result inna full blown dictatorship.
That's not what I was saying at all. I just don't know what you mean by a "technocratic" structure. Can you tell me what would make one government technocratic as opposed to non-technocratic?
Yes
How? It seems to me any service I use would require all the same data and investment as any other service requires by law.
That will depend with jurisdiction but a good starting point would be this kyc free debit card that you can top up with Btc. www.2fiat.com
