Good day, World.
So, here we are post-Liberation Day here in the United States. The Drumpf-in-Chief used ChatGPT to make a tariff policy that is currently tanking the world economy. This inept crone managed the destabilization of the entire stock market with a few pen strokes and within three months of being seated upon what is now the gilded toilet throne of his reign. Meanwhile, the richest man in the world sharpens his claws upon the rest of us, prying regulatory agencies and public services that our taxes pay for away from those who need it most in order to fund contracts his companies has with the government. Lower level politicians are falling in line in record numbers in order to not be leveled by the steam train of bullshit that they have unleashed, contorting themselves into rails and timbers instead of being tied to the tracks. Banks and private firms are seizing property however they can in order to maintain a monopoly over the only true power there is: land ownership. The Apocalypse is upon us and the wall of fire is sweeping through.
What is the end game of the elite? Zero sum victory, aristocracy, and freedom from real consequences. They are weak as individuals and need their egos coddled, since most were born with advantage and protection from any semblance of the world we live in, so a major component of their existence is framed upon maintaining that separation. Paradoxically, these ego concerns also involve keeping the appearance of general benevolence to the public from behind this shroud, as the need to be liked seems to also be a common thread. "Don't eat that rich guy/lady specifically" is the general theme they shoot for, similar to the "not all men" or "I'm a nice guy" people do.
So what do we do? Break the images of those people. The more we do to expose how horrific some of these businesses, politicians, and "leaders" actually are, the better decisions we can make as a collective regarding how society should be ran and by whom. Learn about the companies and policies tied to these civic leaders and bourgeoisie and divest, depose, and disavow all those who would harm you. Keep your money, vote them out, and assassinate their character with the stray bullets of truth and horror they left lying around after their own crimes.
Secondly, get hard assets however you can and store them. The opposition's goal is to rob and fleece everyone for every dollar we have via fees, tariffs, taxes, and ridiculous markups. They desire total ownership and dominion over all physical property, leaving us to use whatever survival money we have to lease or subscribe for the use of the items we are no longer allowed to have outright. The last thing they want is for you to be in control of anything, so they appeal to laziness and your ego in order to manipulate your buying patterns. Instead of, say, leasing a car, one could buy a used car and learn to fix it so you don't pay some faceless company an extra $10,000 over the already hyper-inflated sticker price over the course of 5 years. That's your car now, not some dealer that can come take it if you miss a payment.
Fight them with your mind. The more you look at how you are being taken advantage of, the more you can take steps to stay viable versus a society that has been manipulated to take everything from you. For example: Eliminate middlemen as much as you can in every area of your life, thus learning new skills and becoming more self-reliant. Do you need new clothes, but have very low funds? Learn how to thrift shop and sew instead of buying from Amazon, Target, Walmart, etc. Is there a repair you need to make in your apartment so that your landlord doesn't steal your $2000 security deposit for a $150 fix? Watch a video and do it yourself. Are you losing money with your heating bill? Learn how to temporarily insulate your house in the winter to help save money instead of hemorrhaging free cash to the power or oil company. On a micro level: Are you spending too much money on takeout? Teach yourself to cook quick things instead of feeding DoorDash and UberEats 33% of your order price for literally no reason.
You are not too stupid, too weak, or too inept to learn something new, and whatever it is that you do learn will help in the future. Every dollar you wring away from the hands of the rich is the beginning of a safety net for yourself, and knowing who to keep your money away from helps devalue your enemy. Their goal is your money. Keep it.
