Sorry if this is not the place for that kind of discussion. I would like to be civil, please. Some people on Reddit were talking about how only dictators would want to disarm people.
Can I have some explanation on your opinion and why? I believe weapons should be banned and that crime should not exist in the first place. My opinion may change, but I believe there should somehow be strict rules regarding crime to reduce the amount of it and just have a place where it will not be worried about.
There hasn’t been a reason to overthrow the U.S until 2001. That’s when they went authoritarian and antihuman, passing the patriot act, hyperinflating the economy to destroy the middle class, repealing antiprogaganda laws. It started earlier but hasn’t been as bad. I’m not that old though so I really don’t know how it was before the 90s. I remember the U.S was a much nicer place in the 90s and early 2000s. People also cared more about things, besides their next meal.
For point 3, not anymore, the internet has been taken over by algorithms. Nobody will ever see anything they don’t want people to see and they have armies of propaganda bots manipulating the minds of the masses. It is effective but it’s not a replacement for being armed. Most people are decent. They do care about privacy and human rights and other things even if the internet bots try to convince you that everyone is a fascist or a communist. They just want people to accept authoritarianism.
Right on!
The decline started in 1971. See https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/. This is when they took our money by ending the Bretton Woods system. Ever since then they’ve just been levering the dollar - the biggest ponzi ever.
2001 was indeed the next sharp change. Govt surveillance and overreach became more normal. And shortly after technology spread and enabled mass surveillance and control.
But ultimately it’ll be that 1971 decision, taking us off the dollar, that is the downfall. US dollar is declining so rapidly it’s crazy. They like to talk about how good he economy is by showing charts of stocks going up, but a lot of that, especially recently, is the dollar going down. Price the s&p against gold, you’ll see precisely when the artificial pump started, and where we are in that cycle.
The world is currently levered heavily on the faith in the USA not defaulting. Which can only happen at this point via higher and higher inflation.
The next revolution needs to bring Freedom of Money to the world. As much as we love to hate on decentralized financial systems (aka crypto), it’s actually the tool this revolution needs.
