you know what...
I am all for orange pilling people, and teaching them about how corrupt the financial system is.
But right now I am looking at bills passed in the U.S. and Europe this last week, and what people need to be shown is that the governments of the western world are not 'misled' or 'stupid' or 'incompetent'.
They are literally the enemies of the people now. They no longer act in your best interest. They actively undermine it. and they are dead serious about silencing you, disarming you, and brining you under their control.

This doesnt mean that we let them turn us into alarmist, fearful, reactionary people, obsessed with how corrupt they are. That would be giving them even more power. What it does mean, is that we approach things from the realization that the State is an out of control monster seeking its own power above all else, and we adjust to that reality.
Its not fun or pleasant to talk about, but its very real, and its happening. It has already happened. We need to begin to think differently.

We dont need to become enemies of the State, we need to become advocates of Liberty, and the People. We need to fight for the good, and right, and fight for freedom. But we need to be aware that these people and institutions are intent on enslaving us without remorse.
We need to understand they are set on evil.
This kind of thinking is extreme or fringe anymore. Its actually happening all around us, and maybe its just me, but it feels like we need to come to terms with this on a deeper level even if its hard.
