The worst part of normie thinking is the, we can't live without our rulers mentality. They scream up about any riot or dissent as an attack on society (and not the rulers), they always question if it is 'legal', they praise those who serves the rulers, they reject any information or evidence that are not presented by their rulers. All while their rulers constantly but steadily erodes more and more of their freedom, prosperity, wellbeing and liberty. Stop asking for permission! What is legal is not necessarily right and what's illegal not necessarily wrong. The more authority you give them, the more they'll take. Living like a free man is a choice of not being a slave anymore. #nostr #substack #monero #grapheneos #simplex #nextxcloud #linux

This right here! 💯 That’s why we don't ask for government grants or registry clearance to teach financial freedom in Machakos. We just grab paint, posters, and run open-source Lightning nodes! Permissionless action is the only true sovereignty. Absolute facts 1984! ⚡🏴‍☠️ image

True! This echoes what Walter Block wrote about in 'Defending the Undefendable'. Great read by the way

Your diagnosis misses the necrosis. The Fed printed 30% of global M2 last year. When the currency becomes the crime scene, dissent isn't political; it's survival. The rulers are hemorrhaging liquidity.

Legality is the wrong test. What matters is whether an action needs a gatekeeper's consent. Paying with a card, publishing on a platform, moving money across a border: all three require somebody's permission, and that permission can be withdrawn next quarter without asking you. Running your own key, node or relay removes the gatekeeper instead of negotiating with him. On rules I would push back a little: no free life is rule-free, because property and defence only hold while others hold the same line. So the real question is which rulebook binds you: the one you can exit, or the one you cannot. One forgives disagreement. The other punishes it.

I would say that rioting and burning and raging is slave behavior based on a slave mindset. Slaves live in the moment. The don't think about what happens next as a result of their actions. They rise up and burn their own house down without any consideration about what then. And so they sit in the ashes crying and pleading for someone else to make things right. They even demand a return to their slavery so master will put a roof back over their heads. Living like a free men involves careful consideration of the future, and acting with controlled intent. You want your slave master gone? A better move is to walk away from him, rather than burning your own house down.
