    I wanted to dismantle the state for a socialist ideal in at least middle school. I didn’t like punk until freshmen year of high school though, so we all go through changes even if my politics have mostly stayed the same.

    I have a similar story. I’m glad you grew up, and I hope adulthood is treating you well!

    They brought in a special teacher for my AP US history, straight from the Masonic lodge i figure.

    Made the usual teacher, a liberal guy, take a sabatical year.

    Thanks secret government assholes.

      That’s awesome. I have a formative memory as like a 10 year old putting on a magic play for 5 year olds, and our teacher told us that little kids believe in magic and it turned out to be true because they believed what we were doing

  Haha you reminded me of a video of some poor young teen having to film his mother making chemtrails disappear by spraying a bottle of vinegar at them.

  He was so unenthused.

  I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn’t enough print money in existence to pay them back.

    Regular economic thinking doesn’t work on the scale of nations. Just like a family having debt is not the same thing as a country having debt.

    Pretty much everyone in the world has no full idea how an economy works and how to best stimulate it. It’s like a trillion moving parts and smart asses always go “yea this pin over here? That’s the one that’s the problem / solution”

    Pretty much no-one knows. We have ideas what’s better / worse but anyone who tells you they’ve got it figured out, is lying.
