I’m constantly learning, evolving, growing.
And one thing I feel extremely confident in — the U.S. govt has ceased to be by the people for the people for quite some time, decades at least (and I know other nation-states feel even worse). I long for a nation and government that embodies the principles of our constitution, life, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness. Principles @Natalie Smolenski so eloquently talks about. But I’m afraid our govt has gone too far off that path, with no way of coming back.
The fight for freedom and my aspirations for what our world can look like where human rights flourish with strong communities, money separate from the state, and individuals with agency and self-sovereignty, is far bigger than what the government, our politicians, and this system can deliver.
The system is beyond repair. Opt out is the only way, and influencing and manipulating these players where we are able (because the incentive structure is also perverted).
Freedom go up is the goal, and it’s the fight of all our collective lives. Prosperity and safety will only come as we confuse to push forward on this.
