The more we build up government reliance, the harder the crash and fall will be for Americans and those around the world that rely on U.S. government funding, with its ever changing political winds and the house of cards it’s built on. Less ability to be self sovereign and financial free, and more reliance on the government to live.

It’s a shame. A horrific shame. I’ve tried to talk to my progressive friends about how terrible a situation this is, and how bitcoin as resistance money is the only way (they don’t trust the Trump admin/government, but yet they continue to want to advocate for policies that expand the federal government and dependence on it in every facet of life, especially direct UBI and healthcare l??!$)

You can’t claim you’re part of the resistance, or fighting for a better world for everyone, if you continue to support an increase in central, federal govt control and coordination over every part of life including healthcare, housing, UBI (which of course comes with mass surveillance and social credit score), labor, and an ability to save money/capital.

Modern progressives are not liberal and often times hold pretty un-American, anti liberty and freedom views — led by academics and politicians who gaslight and mislead them.

Great step in the journey! You’re about 40% of the way to being far right. Peaking into your libertarian phase now.

Unironically isn’t national socialism the type of policy you’d advocate for? Socialism except it’s for the actual citizens of the nation?

Former progressive here, and it's nice to see this, Trey!

Hippie-style liberals used to be champions of decentralization.

Have you seen the Schumacher library? I was cleaning up emails for my parents and found a site that surprised me. I can't find it exactly now but this gives you an idea https://centerforneweconomics.org/?s=decentralization
