 That would only work if the masses all at once decide to stop buying "shit" 

Unfortunately the masses keep buying cheap "shit" 

Which in end up does not fuck the system. 

It's fucks the savers while those who buy "shit" live in luxury as long as they live in debt. 

Bitcoin fixes all this. Keep saving in Bitcoin. 

Only Bitcoin will fuck the system.  
 kinda...

its true, I can't control what others do but I can voluntarily leave and join with other like minded people.
help create ways to exist in parallel economies and most of all be happy. 

Reading toxic threads on x and being mad all day isn't freedom 

Make a point of reading Altlas Shrugged if you haven't. 

cheers!


 
 i couldn't finish that book... i enjoyed a few chapters of Fountainhead way more than the first 200 pages of Atlas

but i mean, she's on point, the way she characterised the socialist drones and their endless gossip and retardation, so perfectly accurate

was the holy roller mainstream of the 50s to 90s and then flipped to be the socialists of the period since then, same mentality, same literal people, went from all stiff suits and shit to commie jar hats and bags covered in badges and shitty graffitos of sickle and hammers and veganism

the flip was jarring for most people, i'm sure, but i think their time in the sun is about to end in a slide into the abyss, with lots of ugly self destruction
