There are only 3 options:
1) Murder strangers and be killed trying to make sure your current owner stays your owner.
2) Leave your current owners and find other owners who are less likely to kill you by having you murder strangers for them.
3)Fight your current masters, strip them of their ability to use violence, and restore police powers to the people. You will get to join the only other people in the world who were ever intentionally free, Americans from 1776-1930.
100% I would choose the 3rd option
Me too, hence why I’m still in America and preparing for the inevitable fall of America.
I believe when America falls, the people will be forced to take their police powers back, and we’ll have our freedom again.
Let’s hope one of the three new countries who comes out of what was the USA, doesn’t just not list police powers in the government’s charter, but explicitly bans police powers from ever being in the hands of anyone but the people who live in that country. No centralization of violence, everyone is equal under the law.

What will happen with the FED and the dollar? Will states remain as entities?
If I had to guess, foreign governments would try to regain control of the once American people through first government police powers. If we can avoid that fascist trap again, the FED or really any other government evil is impossible.
Just make sure at least one of the new countries that come from the USA’s fall is free aka only the people have the police powers.
What exactly is police powers? Using arms and violence for self-defence and to protect one's property and forming coalitions to do it more efficiently?
A good way to see through brainwashing is an old dictionary.
Power = The ability to get other humans to obey you.
Police = regulation and control of society to maintain order and welfare
America was called the only free country in the world from 1776 - 1930, because the people and not the oligarchs had the police powers.
No, between 1776-1930, most Americans were the police. If you wanted to commit a crime, you’d have to get past everyone around you, you wouldn’t look out for just some government welfare bum.
You’ve heard of “equality under the law” that is only possible when the people are the police.
I’d imagine some of the countries that are created from the USA’s fall would keep states, and others would reject them.
In present, there are peoples intentionally free from masters: Kurdistan, Zapatistas, Somalia.
These people have the police powers and not some ruling class lording over them?
What countries?
Zapatistas are a decentralized organization, rebelling against Mexico state. Kurdistan is split into 4 territories: integrated parts in Iran and Turkey, autonomous regions in Syria and Iraq. Somalia is organized into armed groups and is very well known as a stateless territory. External forces attempt to re-establish a state there, but they succeeded only in small part of the country, called Somaliland.
I do admire the drug cartel freedom fighters
The question is, are police powers in the hands of the people in all these groups?
Or are their designated people with different rights and powers than everyone else?
The Zapatistas are organized like a popular militia. The military commanders wanted to build something more centralized in this Mexican state, but the locals did not like this idea. It does not fit well with the traditions of indigenous peoples.
The only free people are those who possess police powers.
As soon as someone has authority over you, you become their slave.
Can these villagers arrest the drug king with as much authority as they can arrest the village hobo?
I don't believe that an arrest is a possible and desired action between individuals of equal rights. For me it is enough that drug king can't arrest me. And I don't want to arrest him. That is true anarchy, true freedom.
So you don’t want those dirty powers Americans had from 1776-1960s?
If you support a cast system, and the inequality under the law that comes with it, you are on team tyranny.
You’d be the enemy of us freedom lover’s in the coming civil war.
It's a tribalism. I don't want to choose between two evils. I don't consider that anyone should have a right to arrest anyone else. Self-defense - yes. Arrest - no.
