I know why Nixon is unjustly hated, but I don't know if that's the reason for blaming him like the lie that is (((watergate))). But I can't find anything sufficient to explain why Nixon is blamed and not FDR. Gold Standard was effectively ended by FDR.

1933 - Citizens must turn in, can't own gold, gold certificates, federal reserve gold notes or w/e etc. 1971 - Nixon ends the fixed price of gold that cant' really be used because of the above.

If gold's price is fixed by the fed - be honest, it's them - then is there really a gold standard at all from 1933 to 1971? It all seems like smoke and mirrors, gold was stolen from everybody and abandonned in '33.

The citizens of the USA have been cucked hard for at least a century. Those fuckers back then didn't take up arms, revolt or even make enough noise over having gold declared illegal to own. If you think it's bad now, just remember that they rolled over for the jews without so much as a street fight. I think we will be angrier this time around.

They were also just kinda desperate to stay fed and employed. Early 30s was peak depression and they were following somebody who was bringing the economy back.

Obviously they were still making the wrong choices but you’re framing it as though they were angry but too scared to put up a fight when in reality they were successfully misled into thinking they were doing what was best while half the country was just barely beating out starvation
