 Good post.

I grew up in Sweden in the 1980'ies and saw direct results of the failed politics from the late 1980'ies and onwards.

Whatever the future holds, we need a focus on hard money, individual rights, property rights and resistance to government central planning. The core of corruption started in our governments, central banks and the moneyprinting system.

The inflationary loop:

Politicians buy votes with promises funded by printed money. This causes an inflationary loop - voters will vote for the highest government spending, which also brings maximum inflation.

Going forward the pressure should be on critiquing the program code that steers society toward self-destruction.

Governments run on policies.
Policy is shaped by ideology.

I believe that the UN Agenda 21 that was signed 1992 by 179 nations in Rio de Janeiro is a root policy program that is running our governments via ideological beliefs.

The deep state is the main opponent to individual liberties.
