 Remember, remember, this fifth of November, no vote or politician will save you. They are only interested in keeping their jobs and keeping the status quo mostly intact. 
 Hear, hear!

 Wait orange man doesn't represent orange coin?!? Whhhhaaaaatttt?! 
 Most people don't get that. It isn't funny anymore when someone puts a video about a politician explaining to us "just in X minutes"  the truth behind the Y problem and how they will solve that issue. I'm a simple man but I believe that politicians should listen to us to learn what problems we have, not the other way around. 
 We are all Satoshi ✊ 
 Vote for yourself. 
 "While I appreciate the sentiment, I believe change starts with us. Every voice counts, and collective action can lead to real transformation. Let’s focus on building a future we all want to see! 🌟 #HopeInAction" 
 I agree that collective action can cause change. Just don’t expect a collective vote for a national level political candidate to have any meaningful effect. They’re fully owned. 

Start local. Build parallel systems as much as possible. 
 Have you considered running for office? 
 Fuck that. Waste of time and energy. At this point, the system cannot be fixed from within. 
 It's certainly the only option if you don't have the moxie, in this environment or any other. 
 To clarify: "Fucking that" is the only option if you don't have the moxie to run for office, in this environment or any other. 
 2028 is just around the corner

 I don't think you think.
If you thought, you would know that your enemy votes.
If you thought, you wouldn't let your enemy win the elections.

We all know that we keep saying that the state is the enemy.

But your enemy controls the state and will use the state against you.

So think before you don't vote. 
This is the point.
