 The average citizen doesn’t realize how brainwashed they are. There is no questioning of the narrative whatsoever or they are to afraid to speak out about how they really feel. The world is going to hell in a hand basket to the point where you start to wonder if we are going to make it as a species.

The reality is we have psychopaths running the world who have no qualms about killing innocent people if it advances their political agenda or enriches them. There are alot of sick fucks in the world that make life incredibly difficult for people who just want to raise a family and live life. 

When will people wake up to the fact that there are bad people in this world and the people that claim to care about the country really could give to shits about you. To them you are a play thing, a faceless citizen, a tax slave. Pitchforks, riots and marching on capitols across the world is needed. This current world is drawing to a close, what lies beyond the event horizon nobody knows but we should have a say in how the world is shaped… 

Stay vigilant. Get educated. Inform others. Prepare. #Bitcoin 
 Engaging in open rebellion acts as a convenient pretext for those in power to further curtail our freedoms, while inaction will inevitably lead to a gradual erosion of our rights and liberties.

We're adrift in deep, open waters,
at the mercy of the tides of war...

In such treacherous conditions, all we can do is strive to keep afloat, hoping to reach the shores unscathed. 
 Amen I’m glad we are on this lifeboat at least… we have fighting chance to make it to the other side. 
 There's always hope, we must have faith brother. 
 Yes open rebellion acts as a pretext for increased oppression, and in the historical cases where the mob was able to successfully overthrow a government, it's seldom the case that things get better for the average pleb.  Typically very bad things happen when a government falls, even an oppressive and authoritarian one. 
 Isn’t all just inevitable at the end of the day? We have to go through the hard times to get back to the good times. History doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme…

I still feel the people still need to get angry and demand changes to the way are governed or face repercussions … 
 Inevitable?  I hope not.  An orderly transition to a global Bitcoin standard would be an ideal outcome.  If the state of the world gets bad enough, Bitcoin doesn't work anymore.
