If you find yourself excusing genocide and pedophilia, you can be sure that you have absolutely no moral compass. #freepalestine #epstein

This account is quickly becoming nothing more than sharing quotes from Modern Chains lol. Can't recommend this enough to Bitcoiners or to any one who cherishes freedom. nostr:nprofile1qqsr3gwdr05shx5f35jpthqsrhcgwrc4kuh2y0xmpt0647kgp5p06zgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet56m0w9j book is a game-changer. More from chapter 1: “Frederick Douglas, who endured actual chattel slavery, cautioned that if one man’s liberty is stolen, everyone’s freedom stands in peril” (14) “To understand the reality of modern bondage, we must first recognize that slavery’s essence lies not in its outward trappings, but in its universal form: the coerced extraction of productive energy. Whether achieved by physical force or through convoluted financial mechanisms, the moral wrong remains the same. Again, we are not equating every method of enslavement or minimizing past atrocities; rather, we set its matter aside to highlight its form. Slavery persists wherever a person’s energy, physically, intellectually, or financially, is coercively appropriated, destroying their human dignity, and used to enrich another” (15) “Modern slavery’s most pervasive weapon is the manipulation of the money supply. To be clear, not all price increases are immoral. Natural inflation can arise from extreme market disruptions: disasters, wars, or sudden changes in supply and demand. That is not our focus. The true menace is the deliberate expansion of the money supply: a grinding force of artificial inflation, engineered into our economic system by man’s hand. Consider that over the last forty-five years, the Federal Reserve has artificially expanded the overall money supply by a staggering 13,581%. This expansion, marketed as ‘stimulus,’ ‘growth,’ or ‘quantitative easing,’ diminished the purchasing power of every existing dollar” (23) “Every new conjured dollar dilutes purchasing power, effectively transferring wealth from the many to those few who create and receive the money first” (23) “Frederick Douglass famously observed the psychological divide that sustained slavery: the stratification between house slaves, those permitted relative comfort, and field slaves, those toiling under the lash. House slaves, enjoying proximity to power, better food, softer beds, and an occasional taste from the master’s table, saw themselves as separate from those working in the fields. This illusion of privilege bound them more tightly than chains ever could. It bred loyalty, not to justice or freedom, but to their masters and the system itself. Fearful of losing their fragile comforts, they resisted rebellion, preferring servitude with benefits over the uncertainty of true liberation” (25-26)

Hands down the best bitcoin / monetary system book out there. The depth is incredible. He gets to the heart of the fact that our fiat system is a literal form of enslavement: "Although, today's outward trappings differ radically from chattel slavery, the same principle endures: same form different matter. What once bound human beings with iron shackles now ensnares them through currencies, contracts and credit systems. You are already ensnared in this system. Our acceptance of this monetary order arises less from any well-grounded argument and more from unreflective habit: a quiet assumption that 'this is how this must be.' In reality, nothing about it is inevitable. Modern financial strain is not a byproduct of fiscal mismanagement or political incompetence, but the consequence of moral deprivation: economic enslavement" (13)

The local news came on after a football game I was watching and it was the first time in years I paid any attention to it. I couldn’t believe the amount of pure propaganda and fear mongering I heard in the first 15 minutes. The fact that a single person watches any of these local news channels is a testament to how dumb the average American has become lol.
