Barter is great but in a world where we set fire to the presses and hang all the bankers you're going to need a shovel.
Let the beast die on its own. It requires less effort and much safer than seeking conflict. Hanging bankers and setting fire to the presses is you giving (((them))) your energy, your resources - they as such succeed even if you manage to set a fire or hang a minion or two. Because it seems their primary method operandi is to distract you with endless conflict. Starve the beast of it's energy, stop giving into the temptation to engage in conflict or commerce with (((them))) and they will cease to have power over you; the only power they have over you is that which you give them (and every time you concede personal authority by consenting to a 'magic unit' or complex system that they ultimately exploit due to your blissful attidue & ignorance of said system).
it's your interpretation that religion, money, and science are in and of themselves stockades to control White men. These are not institutions created outside of our control, they are naturally occurring systems and if we are the Apex of our collection of species then we need to take these institutions back and fix them and use them in ways that are beneficial and shut down aspects that do not advance or invite for introspection for self-improvement for us as a race so that we can continue to be on top of the food chain
Religion and money are entirely fantasies; they don't have any releveance to you other than as distraction since you cannot eat or live inside of your money or religion. 'Science' as a practice of emperically provable, repeatable, measurement & experimentation of the real world (not theoretical science, ie- no 'germ theory', no 'theory of relatively' et all which are just conflating the meaning of science into religion again) so then I do agree that it is not exclusively a stockade for control. Yet the onus is on us to make the distinction between fantasy and science. There is no need to 'take control' over science which is self explanatory, testable, repeatable.
And I don't know your race - if we share common ancestor that's great, but if you have motivations of 'taking control' or engaging in conflict then I want no involvement in your 'race' or civilization or whatever it is that you are building because it seems your foundation is based on the flawed notion that we must take from another to get what we need. Do unto others as you want unto you, no ? You will only embolden those for which you take from. Is there not a pattern of conflict which continues to bite us in the ass every time we forcibly kick out those not apart of our 'race' ? But again, it's fine if you want to engage with them, or to worship your idols of money and religion (and scientific 'theories' if you so wish). But do not label me apart of your tribe; as I am not interested in idolatry, colonialsm, or offensive tribal warfare; been tried & failed many times before. Our 'race' has a deeper problem and it starts by acknowleding our current reality.
Barter is great but in a world where we set fire to the presses and hang all the bankers you're going to need a shovel. And you'll find someone with one and they'll want a hammock and you won't have one. So they'll trade their shovel to someone who will. And you can waste the daylight hours of your day trading your oil for some barrels and barrels for some whiskey and whiskey for some tires and tires for a hammock so that you can go back to your first guy to trade for your shovel, but now those bankers bodies have decayed and you've spent so much valuable time hunting down what you need and now your task you wanted to do in the first place is more miserable than it was at the start.
This is a good example of the weakness of low tech barter. But you're immediately gravitating to 'money' (collectable imaginary units) instead of considering how we could engineer a more efficient barter system. If buddy wants to trade 1 hammock for 1 shovel it can be solved as a networking problem. We can use accounting and software (and a connectable network) to solve that problem, just as Bitcoin does to move money. Ie- a digital barter exchange app that connects traders directly, or indirectly (with as few hops as possible) to fulfill a given intended trade. Instead of moving arbitrary fungible units we are moving real things that people need. The only 'units' necessary are temporary; they exist at the accounting & software logic level serving only to fulfill the trade and reflect an interface to the traders involved.
