It shouldn't be considered libertarian or anarchism to just want the government to be less bloated and more fiscally responsible. Maybe just as a start we stop sending trillions to fund overseas wars and try to not grow the debt. Many countries don't fund other people's wars, this isn't libertarian utopian philosophy.

I’d soften my stance quite a bit if we started running a $1T surplus, for sure. Rooting for them to figure it out.
This govt wants to be bloated. To the blob, fiscal responsibility is funding its interests. It has no concerns for the people. Unless it's defunded it will keep doing what it's doing until it breaks, which will be terrible for millions of people. But it doesn't even care about that because it's made up of horrible human beings who only care about themselves and their prestige.
Theres only others interpretations of what libertarianism is to them. At the crux of it all is simply this libertarianism/anarchism is the idea that the individual rules him/herself and no one else. This isnt some ideological utopian ideal. If you recognize this simple concept and extrapolate outward this to everyone, then everyone should only have to deal with those whom they choose to do so and nothing else. The trope of you dont have every situation solved of societal ills beforehand therefore checkmate utopian is a very sad and shit argumentation postion to have for an otherwise simplistic worldview. We can not know what individuals left to their own devices will do to solve their own problems without the threat of violent coercion hovering over them at all times. It is only up the those involved to be able to decide situationally what works best for them, and for those that disagree to mind their own business and not try enact violence against them just because they disagree.

No, but you would be labled an extremist either way.
They don’t send trillions to fund wars. They announce things. To gaslight you. It’s all paper games & psyops in these here parts. Focus within. Stack your sats. Buy a coffee/muffin from the small shop in your town & not a chain. Stay local. Fuck Global. Then you win. πŸ†
JFYI antigovernment messages containing populist agenda have tough time to be treated seriously usually
Stop using fiat currencies and you will be fine whatever They do. USG debt is in usd, and you know they can print usd and pay every debt. But their game is to take debt, and never pay it. Buy bitcoin and everything will be fine. Hold usd and only violence will survive.

ABSOLUTELY correct! Each of us has to work within a budget (or we go bankrupt). The government should be subject to the same rules. (AND the corollary should be that their ability to tax must be constrained--politicians must not be allowed to unilaterally increase taxes whenever they feel they need more "revenue")
