@Tornzy Exactly. And, happily, I am neither.

Soy does tend to have the effect of making people want a strong and powerful Big Brother to protect them.

Unless you are chowing down on vegan sausage and chunky curry potatoes lool

As long as it didn't come from Monsanto or DuPont labs/farms

@halfthink funny how even though it does that, it makes people hate big, safe, walls.

They want a strong and powerful big brother, but they don't wanna listen to him.

I'll watch it later, internet is slow.

But the derp on these people is sooo skronk.

They sweat, shit, and dream blue pills.

Bob Murphy is almost as far right as Hoppe.

Russia by a landslide. China has a "social credit system" that utterly terrifies me.

it doesn't matter

we'll get a variation on that idea

once physical currency has been abolished, we'll all be tied to the payment processors.

it looks bad already, and we're nowhere near critical mass

Physical currency has already been abolished. I don't think there are any currencies left that are tied to real commodities anymore.

quite

but i'm talking more about having no physical means of exchanging currency

makes it far far easier to control individuals

Doesn't make it much easier than central banking already does. The only "commodity" tied to money now is governments with guns.

Everything is money though. If people start trading with some other currency government can't control, then their power to control people will be reduced to almost nothing. If no one is using their currency, their currency is worthless, so they can hardly buy guns and soldiers to protect themselves.

omg

so if we all just agreed to use something that can't be made anymore

or super rare

then

lie

Denationalization of money is effectively the denationalization of government.

Although they could just start seizing real assets at that point to sustain themselves. You used to be able to pay taxes in tobacco.

you used to get paid in salt

now it's just constantly generated by political activists

USD will always have value

It’s really the only valid payment for taxes

So crypto all day everyday but if you are caught avoiding taxes rub roh

Google just want to be Skynet.

Skynet is still better than Google
