I haven’t figured out a way to solve the problem that allowed this to arise….complete lack of engagement in the political system among most of the working class, and lack of taking our leaders to task and making them answer hard questions every day and showing up at their constituency offices daily. It’s pretty hard to be civic minded and keep leaders accountable when you’re working a “50 is the new 40” job and using what little free time you have to push your life and your kids forward. That’s why freedom in a society always ends up cyclical. No one makes standing up a priority till the pain reaches a certain threshold, then everyone explodes in revolt. Maybe I’m making excuses, but I honestly didn’t know that the government was my enemy until I was well into parenthood. My parents never said shit about taxation, the monetary system, or the dangers of socialism when I was growing up. It’s like the slide has been so gradual and the collective awareness of the dire problems has proliferated so slowly that we are living in inevitable times.

For my government to be overthrown in 2026

Like I’m going to nut up, keep stacking, and delay some dreams for another year.

Best of luck there. Thank you for your comments

I’ve poring over YouTube videos and if we go, I’d like to maximize what we learn in a week about best potential available spots for a small rural plot, contractor availability, and the best route for naturalization. And maybe some advice on the best way to have voice and data services while there. So far the areas that look most interesting and still relatively close to Montevideo are some of the rural areas in the hills outside coastal towns northeast of Montevideo up the coast.

One of the most humanity affirming things I’ve ever done. I’ve never experienced so much fellowship and what it feels like when good people get behind a truth and justice. To walk around and freely insert yourself into conversations with any group, and instantly find yourself surrounded by brothers and sisters of the same mind. It really was electric. A buddy and I plastered his black crew cab with bright orange signage and two tall masts with Canadian flags, and we did a 5 dayer. One night on the worst roads and freezing rain imaginable doing 30km/h on the Deerfoot to get down, three nights freezing our asses off in the truck, then a nicer cruise home. At least 10 locals back home who wanted to go but couldn’t gave us enough cash before we left that it covered all of our food and fuel for the trip. I was so fired up after that experience I grabbed another buddy 3-4 weeks later and we drove to Ottawa. It took us 48 hours in even worse driving conditions over a three day period to get there, and we arrived right on the grounds of parliament just as the UN goons and the RCMP started cracking heads. We ended up spending most of the time at a trucker camp west of Ottawa in Arnprior. So many good people. That whole trip, including a super sketchy hotel and shower stop in downtown Saskatoon, all of our fuel and food, and a couple hole in the wall motel nights in Arnprior were all crowdfunded by people that reached out to us back home. One lady from the hospital gave us $800 because she couldn’t go herself. Others, a couple hundred or more. It was really touching and we were so humbled.

It is energy like I saw in Coutts and Ottawa that makes me think we may have a shot at Alberta separation. I’m cautiously optimistic however, based on the demographic in our two largest cities. And the dirty pool tactics that the media and the government will no doubt be coordinating against us. Just in case it needs to be said (and it doesn’t in present company), CBC, Global, CTV and any radio station owned by Standard Radio are not your friends. They were our biggest enemies during the protests. Same goes for the algo-driven social media platforms.

Yeah I think based on the 20 somethings that I know at work, that the best recruiting tool would be a libertarian bot Tinder profile or an online gambling platform that gives free plays for watching Mises videos🤦‍♂️

It’s an ongoing chink in the armour which the state exploits to the fullest through public school indoctrination, that humans learn the truth about their chains too late in life, when they are encumbered by attachments that would make meaningful action painful for those in their care. We need to find ways to connect with youth and impress upon them the lessons they need to subvert the state.

Yeah this country has gone mad. I’m pretty black pilled on it right now. We need real action.

Ever been to Coutts? I went there for a little get together near the border once lol ;)

My fav combo 🤙🏽

The area around Piriapolis looks like my kind of place.

Are any Nostriches currently spending any time in or residing in Uruguay? I’d really like to visit the country.

I can’t wait to visit. If for no other reason than to talk Bitcoin, hike, swim and compare shared stories about hunting coons as kids.

I’ve wondered the same thing.

It’s the only way shit has ever been accomplished throughout history. Might makes right. It’s why there’s always a big push to indoctrinate, economically ensnare or routinely kill off fighting age males (via large scale warfare) in a society before they are old enough to realize they’re all being fucked. By the time I realized the truth about this prison/vampiric tax farm that has been built up around us, I already had a young family who would have suffered had I exercised a very simple nation wide plan to start getting our leaders to pay attention. I would have gladly potentially sacrificed my life or my freedom in my late teens or early 20’s had I known or been thinking about what the world was to become by the time I hit middle age.

I fear we will have to see times when the majority of people are starting to miss three or four meals in a row before what needs to happen, does. It’s why there’s a race to permanently lock down our ability to freely move and transact value, before we hit that point.

It’s amazing that a cyclical angular change in exposure to the sun has such a huge impact on the planet’s ability to sustain life as we know it.
