I think the only way out of this trap, besides taking away the printer, which solves the funding side but not the security side, is to have a population of strong fighters and supporters organized as militias.
Bitcoin can solve the problem of printing money. Nostr can solve the problem of thought control. This can make the government return to its original job. What we can do is to give people the power back to themselves.
That's what I'm saying. Security needs to be provided by someone though, and that's where it gets complicated.
The government's job is to protect the safety of citizens. It's just that now those greedy politicians use the fear and threat of war to gain power and plunder people's wealth.
The gov job is to protect territorial integrity and sovereignty. Internal security is another matter. Would it not be better if everyone could defend themselves and their property? Any arrangements after that are made on a local basis.
Exactly! Security is the government's one and only job.
