I don’t disagree. I think what you're proposing is indeed a more truly decentralized model.

But ultimately the real world is where we need progress and as long as the internet (and language as a whole) exists there will be actors attempting to manipulate the narrative to their benefit by any means possible.

I do think democracy can be subject to manipulation regardless of ones ideals of altruism. Sometimes people are not adequately educated and then their input into a democratic system only serves to harm the collective. It may be time for new models of governance within society and communities wherever they may exist.

Another limitation of CPI is that it does not account for the devaluation of a currency due to the increase in circulating currency supply which is something the price of gold does perfectly. We can also put the rise in the price of gold next to a chart showing the increase in us circulating currency and they are very close to each other.

The price of gold was constant, only fluctuating 80% from $19 to $35 in the first 172 years of the us dollar’s history. Then nixon ended the gold standard in 1972 and within 8 years the price of gold increased 2000% from $35 to just under $800 one year later the us printed its first one trillion in circulating currency now we print 1 trillion every 3-4 months and the price of gold has increased 7500% since nixon withdrew from the bretton woods agreement. In 1956 minimum wage of $1/hr equaled 60 ounces of gold annually ($160,000 today) in 1968 it was $1.60 which is $250,000 in todays money. Gold has alwaus been considered an inflation proof asset, it has retained its value for all of history. An ounce of gold will always be able to purchase a fine set of garments, liek a really nice 3 piexe suit with undergarments, a button shirt and tie and leather shoes, a months rent in a 2 bedroom in a nice part of town or between 300-400 loaves of good bread from a bakery.

But cue in the “economics experts” telling me the price of gold has nothing to do with the value of currency

True, but for many people who do not know any better they are the arbiters of reality.

This just in, water is wet and the sky is a shade of violet.

I pretty much see any person claiming to be nakamoto wether the claim is legitimate or not to be treated exactly as they are treating this guy. Governments In collusion with the military and prison industry profiteers who control all the major financial institutions want to do whatever they want with BTC’s blockchain technology and arent about to let any pesky copyright claims become a hindrance regardless of the validity or lack thereof.

I used to have a 2 year old account with a bunch if meaningless karma on reddit but those basrards IP banned me 6 months ago for a comment that said international law states indigenous populations have a right to defend themselves from occupation by any means.

I might be wrong, but my gut tells me something smells fishy and only one of these documents sounds like it was written by an ivy league cum laude graduate. ill admit I put too much stock into irrelevant factors. However my gut is still pulling me towards believing this other manifesto seems more believable.

And its not that i don't think Klippenstien is a good reporter or that he’s not trustworthy. Its that i think cops and the reporters working for legacy media are both extremely untrustworthy. I guess only time will tell and if I’m wrong ill eat my words.

Or a lifetime of abject poverty despite working an extremely labor intense job while not being able to afford to own a home or ever retire? This issue permeates beyond the awful “healthcare” system. We are now at a worse level of exploitation than was standard before the advent of the FLSA of 1938. This is the new gilded age and it needs to end immediately

Anyone habe an invite to the next scheduled Bilderberg meeting? 🤤

We draw the line at wages that actually provide people enough to live a life worth living. Minimum wage in 1956 earned 60 ounces of gold a year in 1968 it was raised to $1.60/hr or 95 ounce of gold a year/ $250,000 today this was the 8th time minimum wage was increased since minimum wage was legislated by the fair labor standards act of 1938. Meanwhile today federal minimum wage has not been adjusted in 15 going on 16 years. This is the longest its gone without adjustment in the 86 years of minimum wage. The current inflation statistics regurgitated by wall street the imf and world bank are based on consumer price index which does not take into account the devaluation of currency due to the increase in circulating currency supply. Nixon ended the gold standard jn 1971 and by 1981 the usa had printed its first one trillion dollars. For the first 172 years after the us instituted a national standard currency the price of gold only increased 80% from $19 to $35 but since then its increased 7500% to $2650 meanwhile minimum wage has only increased 450-1300% and corporate executive pay has ballooned 3300%-16,500% so minimum wage value has actually decreased by 84-93% these corporations are literally robbing us all. 2/3 of working people are living paycheck to paycheck with no emergency savings. A majority of Millennials and gen z are on track to never own a home or be able to retire. They will have to work until they are too sick to be able to with the hope that social security still exists in 30-50 years. Retailers already increase prices to account for shrink and they take out massive insurance policies that reimburse them for shrink so the idea that this hurts big box businesses is just ridiculous propaganda

Yeah, and exactly where were they 5 years ago when bernie sanders was poised to win the nomination before every other candidate dropped out? They did everything in their power then to ensure sanders wouldn’t be nominated and they didnt care if a senile old mummy was handed the nuclear football. They dont ever really care because the president has no real power, wall street military and prison industry profiteers call the shot and hand pick the presidential party nominees behind closed doors so they win either way. those with the biggest bank accounts get the most say. But they probably all meet in private and have a vote split by the size of their net worth, like a big pissing contest for children with massive egos who regularly commit crimes against humanity with out having to consider pesky consequences.

Whats the most possible scenario for someone having a message website release after suddenly becoming indefinitely or permanently indisposed?
