 NPC ruined this generation. 
 painting all politicians with the same brush isn't that bright either

but yes 
 The sad truth is that Bitcoin, peace and freedom of speech IS bad for the Military Industrial Complex... 
 This generation is unwell. I have friends who went crazy during Covid. Suggested the most authoritarian nightmare fuel I ever heard. I barely talk to those people anymore 
 I'd been trying for years to orange pill one of the smartest people I know (brilliantly book smart) but I ultimately came to the conclusion you listed above... He truly believes that war is good, inflation is good and censorship is good.  It was at that moment that I gave up talking to him about Bitcoin.

It was a very sad moment for me. 
 I tried to orange pill my best friend for years. We talked ours and ours about #bitcoin, inflation, MOE, SOV, sovereign debts, stock market, decentralisation, communism, democracy, capitalism, taxation, wars etc. He listens to me, asks very seldom a question, has no answers for my questions. He doesn't get it. 
I gave up bc I'm starting feeling bad. 
 Yes it's sad when you work hard to get someone you love onto the lifeboat but they refuse to recognize that the ship is sinking or that we actually found the lifeboat. 💔 
 I'll take him in my lifeboat, but he has to row 🤣😂 
 citation needed 😅 
 Sats in more hands helps unwind! 
 War (if my guy in office) good
Inflation (if my guy in office) good
Censorship (if my guy in office) good

Otherwise bad 
 Voting orange foreva 
 yes

and the latter mostly won't get their motions through or even across, as their activism gets sunk into the infinite void of bureaucracy 
 And sadly a few like Ron and Rand Paul just get ignored. 
 people don't want to vote period

+ there's so much information out there, you don't even know what to believe 
 people are looking to solve the broken system through the system, while they should actually approach it from the outside or through an alternative

and here's where voting with your currency comes in 
 I've spent months and years filtering out the noise and have some very excellent news sources, but it takes a major effort.
