P.S.A.

The wealthy never forgot that money is merely a physical stand in for ownership of property. Ultimately, collateral is the end goal, which is why if an economy collapses the wealthy continue to be so until the people physically remove the material wealth from the former social elite. Unfortunately, they have convinced us, the people, that possessing the means to having collateral is the end game. With this, the aristocracy can then withhold and trickle out the finances themselves to the slave class while simultaneously bleeding us of whatever we can hold onto. Again, fees, fines, exorbitant prices, and taxes drain the currency from us, leaving us wanting for the money itself.

However, there is another way to being able to gain some shreds of independence from this slavery. In short, finding a way to own things will free you from traps that the wealthy set to drain us. No, the hyper rich do not need any more cash in their coiffeurs, but they do need you to not have enough to truly own anything. The rampant waste that we see every day in retail stores, restaurants, and government spending is proof enough of that. No, it is the position of ownership, of being the one who doles out the money or receives the rent, that is the true seat of power. Any way we can take that authority away from someone else and return it to the individual is a step toward personal freedom.

This is why the elite fight so hard to maintain the thin veneer of erudition and significance their branding has created for them in a system designed fundamentally around building and maintaining façades. After all, if most people don't need new cars, then what is the actual value of your automotive company? If people are growing their own vegetables, why do they need a grocery store that wastes out produce by the metric ton? You can only artificially inflate your worth so much before faith in your brand starts to fall away. They push their way into everything, making us need them for transportation, food, shelter, etc. and insisting and encroaching upon more of every aspect of our lives every day. However, we can pull back and away from this tactic with some effort, time, and focus. People who don't need whatever you're trying to sell them are unable to be controlled and can focus on what they want to do with themselves. 

Unfortunately, it's the want that they use to manipulate the rest of our money out of us. Good marketing is a bitch, isn't it? Separate and serious the fuck up. Now's not the time for leisure. Cut their funds, devalue their businesses by saying no and becoming more self-reliant. Your goal should be to own whatever you have so you are not paying some jackass sitting on a yacht somewhere just to exist. If you have good credit, get land. If you have bad credit, buy a used car and learn to fix it yourself. Don't leave your current apartment for a bigger one, downsize until you can get a mobile home, fix it, and move in. Learn the right ways to buy used and secondhand (NOT THRIFT!) as much as practical so as to keep the money cycling amongst the people. Purchase tools and learn how to use them so you don't end up paying crooked middlemen that would overcharge and take advantage of you. All of these things involve investing in yourself rather than someone else, and that is another truth of ownership: knowledge and stewardship go hand and hand. 

Remember: Being scared of doing different things will hinder you from seeing new possibilities and keeps feeding into the loop that the wealthy have set to trap us in. Retain your funds with the express purpose of investing in your own freedom, and learn to identify when someone parading around as a "service" is really part of a network of parasites that have convinced you that they're necessary. You don't want more money, really, because money is just a vehicle to get you what you want in life. Simple analogy - Fishermen fish for fish using a boat. Having a boat isn't the fisherman's goal, but a necessity to get himself his fish. Remember to separate those two things and adjust accordingly.

Trump's Liberation Day in the United States

 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.
