If your employer gave you a 1-2% pay cut every month, wouldn't you consider quitting your job? Well, that's exactly what's happening. The Federal Reserve is watering down our money by at least that much every month.

Yeah, I think the future is things like monero on decentralized exchanges. And I think more and more, we are going to have to make direct payments with it, instead of cashing it out through an exchange.

It's not a conspiracy. Modern Monetary Theory, which all the leftists love, specifically states that the "solution" to high inflation is high taxes.

Of course, what will really happen is that high taxes will kill the economy, meaning there is even more money chasing even fewer goods and services, while we have less jobs. So in sum, you will not only have hyper inflation, but you will end up with inflation in every area, except employment and employee pay.

It really doesn't make sens to use encryption software that isn't open source. The FBI tries to corrupt open source software too, but it's harder in many ways.

The truth is that copyright is unworkable in the information age, and is completely unenforceable to somebody determined to ignore it. Not that enforcability determines right and wrong, but when you have a belief system that can only be enforced by massive intrusions into peoples private communications and lives, that's a pretty good sign that such a belief has serious flaws.

Now days, there are better way to monetize artistic creations anyhow, like concerts.

From an accounting perspective, it doesn't make sense to work in the private sector when government handouts give you more, but from a big picture perspective it does. The market makes people into better persons, it builds character while the government is basically like a criminal organisation. The more you depend on them, the more it destroys your character and person. Even the process of filling out the government forms is degrading and humiliating. Even most government jobs are shit, with no market accountability. They train behavior in people that causes them to be more likely to be personal failures.

In fact, the USA has lost every war it's ever been in. For example, WW2, look at Hiroshima today and look at Detroit. Yes, leftist policies are worse than nuclear bombs. We did far more damage to ourselves with the income tax that was created for WW2, than we ever did to Germany, or Japan by nuking the fuck out of them. The only war that we might have arguably won is Vietnam. Over a million Vietnam immigrants came to the USA and used their new founded economic liberties to create insane amounts of wealth. The cultural impact on their home country of their in laws in the USA making 100x times than they were, was shocking. Even though Vietnam is a communist run country, "capitalism" has over a 93% approval rating there, the highest on the planet. Even people working in the communist government there believe that capitalism is better and communism is shit.
