Wow. What a way to start a Sunday morning! Thanks for this thread, thank you all so much. I've been a freedom-minded guy for decades and have long discarded trust in the current systems of the world. Now in my senior years, stumbling from the usual web world into voat and poal, I finally found individuals who have put real effort into understanding the good, the bad and the ugly system of things. Bless you all. Please stand tall and firm in your rightness. Save the world and the ideas that built it. And thank you again for being here together and focused. I look so forward to find threads like this one as I marvel at living in the beginning of the age of the internet.
It was a good read with good references to also read. It turns out to rhyme that the ones who are the survivors but also know better than to be ruined by money are hated in later days by the very merchants that didn't get their way. I'm thinking this was the point of Jesus on the cross, as he followed truth and was hated. Salvation seems to be separate from being liked and while the truth sets you free, you will be vilified.
