Do you think that the founding fathers could have foreseen this america?
We have been divided before.
Would Hamilton be on board the bitcoin train?
While you were collecting Beanie Babies…
The media was being monopolized (Telecom Act 1996)
The banks were deregulating (Glass-Steagall repeal plans)
Corporations were offshoring to China (WTO expansion)
Wall Street was getting ready for the next crash
The poor were being blamed (Welfare Reform 1996)
Copyright law was rewritten for Disney (DMCA 1998)
The real Beanie Babies weren’t the toys… they were the laws passed while we weren’t looking.
A powerful historical parallel to the politicized use of “democracy” today is the way “freedom” was used—particularly during the Cold War and the Civil Rights era.
“Freedom” as a Divisive Word
While “freedom” sounds universally positive, in American political history it was often used ideologically and selectively—not to unite, but to divide.
Cold War Rhetoric: The U.S. positioned itself as the “leader of the free world,” using “freedom” to contrast with communism. But this rhetorical freedom often excluded dissenters, leftists, or civil rights activists at home.
Segregationists: Politicians like George Wallace and others used “freedom” to defend segregation. They argued for “freedom of association” and “states’ rights” as a way to resist federal civil rights laws.
Civil Rights Movement: Activists also used “freedom” (e.g. Freedom Riders, Freedom Summer), but in direct contradiction to how it was being used by segregationists and conservative nationalists. The same word became a symbol of opposing causes.
So the word “freedom” is a historical analogue to “democracy” today:
Used by both sides of the political divide.
Carries moral authority, so everyone wants to claim it.
Weaponized to exclude, accuse, or delegitimize the opposition.
Why are the democratic governors so anti bitcoin? Is it that bankers support them? Bankers need to control international financial rails? Does bitcoin pose an existential threat to bankers?
