I think an all-of-the-above strategy is important. The 1990s encryption wars were won by a combination of 1) building things they can’t stop and 2) using their own constitution against them. The same is true for open source money and privacy. Build privacy tools they can’t stop, and also challenge all major overreach attempts legally.

Stop reproducing are you serious??? You should reproduce as much as possible and raise them the right way

That has worked out great so far hasn’t it?

By the way? What’s the right way? And also, if you know the right way, why aren’t you willing to fight this battle yourself? Why do you seemingly expect that your offspring should fix the things that you clearly haven’t been able to? Does that seem fair?

Monero is so effective at this it's considered highly suspect and toxic, like nuclear materials, that even possession is almost criminal.

Because the battle is long term. You have to fight the battle but then leave the information about WHY you fought the battle in the first place. If you don't, everything regresses because of human nature. 4th turning type stuff. Eventually people forgot the reason for things and they regress into failure because they didn't listen to those who came before.

This would be fine except that I don’t see anyone fighting meaningful battles now apart from those building #bitcoin and #nostr. And sadly no, this is not gonna cut it. What I do see is a lot of complaining, hand wringing, and misplaced anger. I see mostly cowardice and kicking of the can down the road on behalf of parents who literally have the most skin in the game.

People are use to sitting back and letting other people take action. You can see this in any group activity. So encourage people to not sit back and instead take action is a great thing, but that has to be balanced with discernment. BTC and Nostr are ACTIONS, building sensorship resistant tools allows for action. Using and testing the tools enables actions. All of us supporting each other is an action and enables bigger and bigger actions. Whining about the whining doesn't do anything either. <- Please don't take that the wrong way. I know you just want to encourage action. It's more of a general statement. 🫂 Had a thought while writing this response: If Frodo had not taken the time to build a team (and therefore gained resources to take the ring back) would he have made it? We are literally taking on a monster of the highest order. One person can be crushed, what about a hundred thousand, a million, a billion people?? 10% pushing back can turn the whole tide, especially if truth is behind them. Honestly, less than 1% got us central banking and into this mess in the first place. By any chance have you heard of the 20%/60%/20% idea? It was brought up during covid and it's an idea that 20% will be absolutely for and or against something from the beginning and they have to sway a majority of 60% before there is action. During covid there was not allowed to be any discussions, so it took a lot longer for the 60% of people to build a well informed decision.

I appreciate your response. Thinking about a problem is the first step towards solving a problem and most people are already failing at this step. They are so distracted that they are either fighting the wrong enemy or trying to solve the wrong problem. As far as whining about whining being useless, I agree. This is why I am putting forth my thoughts on both what the problem is and what actions can be taken to solve it. I do everything I propose myself. So in case it wasn’t clear, I view the current problem as the fact that our global political, legal, and financial systems have all been captured by a small governing elite who have firmly entrenched themselves to live off the labor from the rest of humanity. This has been going on for millennia. They have skillfully implemented systems to protect themselves including massive military and police forces, powerful propaganda and cultural programming engines, and extensive sources of distraction to keep us divided and afraid (social and almost all other forms of media/mass communication). For the people in the back or TLDR: THE GLOBAL ELITE ARE OUR ENEMY. My proposed solution: 1. Stop buying their products. Buy local products made by people you know where possible and only bare essentials where you don’t. 2. Stop producing yield for them. If you work for a large corporation, quit. Learn how to grow your own food, source your own energy, and make something useful for others. You will be far happier. 3. Stop using their financial system. I prefer #bitcoin but use bottle caps if that works for you for all I care. Don’t entrust your savings and time to a failed system that doesn’t give a shit about you. 4. Stop having children. Seriously. Stop fucking producing more slaves at your own expense. This is not a world worth living in. Stop it. The current system is too powerful and all the good intentions and quality parenting in the universe will not save your child. STOP deluding yourselves. 5. Stop voting. Voting brings legitimacy to their failed system and perpetuates the illusion of choice. Politics is just distraction from the outright theft of our time and resources. It has no legitimacy as all politicians are owned by the elite or will be pressured into doing their bidding anyway. 6. Participate in the legal system only to the extent that it allows you to be free. Pay your taxes. Don’t resort to violence. If you follow the steps above, we can break our chains without harming each other. The true enemies will be the ones pointing their fingers at some poor bastard 2000 miles away. 7. Share this (or your own) advice everywhere you can. #grownostr #thinkdangerously

Move to where?

No. "If we cannot drive them out, we will breed them out." Every angle of their plan involves depopulation (poisoned food, enviornmentalism, the "vaccine agenda," veganism, the LGBTQIA+^2 agenda, all of it) because their plan is literally demonic. Instead? "BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY." "For what did the Lord want? Godly offspring." This war is bigger than politics or economics, and has been waged since the beginning. They hate God and his design for mankind (marry, multiply, etc.) and all their schemes are aimed at tearing down that original good design. So let's get to work.
