Great question: "If money is your time and energy in abstracted form, what does it mean if another man can print the money you use?".

With added context, it means that you've been born into a system in which the vast majority of people have consented to being slaves unknowingly.

Slavery has been so normalized that the vast majority of people are willing to defend their masters by participating in humiliation rituals - paying taxes even though money is printed out of thin air, selecting masters (even though voting has never worked), proudly sacrificing themselves to further their masters' agenda (military).

The most common way to at least partially unslave is to aligning yourself with the State - working for the State, or starting a business that serves the State, or working for a very large company that serves the State to gather resources to exit the system (Bitcoin, land, homesteading, gardening).

When most people understand how the system works, they usually want to fight it or change it, but fighting the system or trying to change the system from within is most often a waste of time and energy.

How would you defeat a system that has the power to create infinite money to incentivize as many slaves as necessary to protect it? You wouldn't.

It is usually much easier to exploit the system and exit the system.
