Oddbean new post about login | logout Many will not take too kindly of foreigners like me criticising America. If you’re one of them, I think you’re completely ignorant of your country’s foreign affairs and the effect your leaders have on the rest of the world. Educate yourself of what your nation has become. If you can’t see it and you live there, you’re the problem.
The corrupted education system and non-stop information and psychological warfare are what keep the average American oblivious.
No, their whole system was fraudulent, shady rubbish, which could never work from the start, especially after their second (current ) constitution. I like the one one of their lawyers explains it in his pods: The #Quash: The Constitution on trial pt 1 Media file: https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/85e064fd-b7bd-4106-b1fa-e406fb2d2ee0/ep-109-ad-const-on-trial-1.mp3 #Film https://jonesplantationfilm.com/ #USA #legal #Law #USConstitution #Idiocracy #crime #SCOTUS #JudicialActivism #POTUS #tyranny #USCongress #hypocrisy #MAGA #History #secession #election #JuryNullification #podcast #equality
Go ahead and critisize our US Government, but all of us citizens have no say in what they do: you speak out and you get punished or you disappear. Most may be ignorant, but even if they knew, they couldn't do anything about the injustice and terrorism.
Imagine having 350 million people that can’t do anything about their government? Your people are not hopeless but they did allow the government to be what it is now.
Are you stating that number of citizens = capability to control your government. If so, that's an argument I haven't heard before, care to say more? The lynchpin to understanding the servility of US citizens is the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791-1794, when the Federal army of 13,000 marched against 600 tax protestors. It was at that point (only a few years after the end of the revolution) we realized we had traded one king George for another. The only ones who speak out are the ones willing to be martyrs, and US soil is drenched with their blood.
Jesus only needed 12 disciples. All I’m saying is it only takes one leader to rally an entire nation to make it better or make it worse. There’s got to be one in your numbers. Such is the nature of humans and history repeats itself blah blah. It’s nothing new but nonetheless true.

Lolz, yeah, lots that can be done, but the price to make it happen is too high. He's probably right about education being the only thing worth doing, the cost to participate is more reasonable.
What cost is there to doing what he suggests specifically? The #secession group in #Texas has been advocating for bringing that to the ballot for some time, and they have not been “disappeared”. Has anyone you know tried suggesting that to their state “representative” and faced reprisal? What could happen to them, for example, if a significant part of retired #American “concons” , independents and #libertarians began actively seeking being on local juries and exercising their #jury #nullification power? They would crash the whole absurd and crooked #legal , #court and #prison system there! A prominent American #libertarian - Tom Woods - even wrote a #howto #book on that a decade ago: https://tomwoods.com/books/nullification/ If such an opportunity existed in my territory, i would. Point is, Americans say “they couldn’t do anything about the injustice”, even when one of them gives them effective options that would hardly cost them any effort, and certainly no individual reprisal.
Not a fan of the #WARshington Empire at all, but the 🤡#clownworld is unfortunately everywhere, including Swiss territory, and local dwellers just as ignorant and self-absorbed. For example, the #gold Franc was the unit of account for BIS until just a generation ago - 2003! That preposterous “bank of central banks” affects the world as much from #Basel as the Fed from Warshington. “Fix the money, fix the world”… Interesting also, that the “Committee“ of the real owners of Switzerland rejected making the gold franc Swiss legal tender, and the renown canton #democracy system didn’t overrule them, because the “ democratic majority” there are just as susceptible to #gangsterment brainwashing as in any territory in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_franc#Swiss_Gold_Franc_Initiative
That is indeed correct however, we don’t go around the world waving our dicks at everyone.
Quite right! The days of Swiss mercs fighting all over Europe for the highest bidding “royal” gangs are fortunately in the past, as far as i know. 🙏🏻 However, isn’t there still the institutionalised slavery of “military conscription “? Even the Americans put that behind them for now. Why don’t the enlightened Swiss? Are the owners of Switzerland not wealthy enough to maintain a merc army nowadays?
I agree! Contrary to many people with blinders on, it is NOT the greatest country in the world. Those who believe it have a very LIMITED domestic perspective & view and haven’t travelled much or/lived abroad. I think it’s the most arrogant country tho. Like a cocky person going around shouting “I’m the GREATEST!” all the time.
