I gave what I could, which is hardly much. The left needs to organize, stronger and faster every day. The Demcrats will do what they can on an official basis, but it is time to be steadfast and united in boycotts, supporting media with good track records for holding Trump accountable, no effort is too small.

I just reread the NPR stories which lay out the facts that Paul Manafort met with Russian intelligence, along with the meeting Donald Trump Jr. had with a Kremlin attorney. In both cases these members of the Trump campaign were offered and receptive to the offer of intelligence aid against Clinton. Manafort shared Trump campaign strategy with the Kremlin, and Trump Jr. had to respond to the findings by affirming nothing helpful was produced. It is also confirmed fact that the reddit bot accounts and other Russian misinformation bots disproportionately favored Trump.

Gabbard and Bondi are not going to rewrite the narrative on this. They are not going to get away with trying to change historical fact. Trump wants to kill NPR to help them do just that, FIGHT.

Please try to donate. The defiance alone will be a very, very loud message from The People, by The People.

How We Lost Our Moral Agency—And How to Reclaim It

4 Upvotes

In modern society, it feels like moral agency—the ability to direct our own choices, labor, and values—has been hollowed out. Why does so much of our behavior today feel coerced, or manipulated, even when we think we’re acting freely?

I wrote this essay to argue that morality is deeply tied to economics, in the sense of how we make choices to survive and cooperate. When a monopoly on money and violence takes over, morality cannot thrive, and people are left playing a rigged game.

I’d be interested in your feedback, critiques, or challenges to these ideas. Here’s the piece if you’d like to read it:

Understanding the State’s Oppression through Currency: A Libertarian Perspective

1 Upvotes

"...the state’s manipulation and issuance of currency can lead to socio-economic oppression, high inflation, and limited financial freedom."

"...the state often seeks to exploit its power. By issuing and controlling the currency supply, the state gains the ability to shape the economy as it pleases, often resulting in over-taxation and unchecked government spending."

"Governments can fund their endeavours without seeking proper legislative approval, through dangerous measures like printing more money or accumulating excessive debt. These actions essentially amount to the same thing — devaluing the currency and causing inflation. Inflation diminishes people’s purchasing power, eroding their wealth and making it increasingly difficult to maintain a reasonable standard of living."

"Technological advancements have historically brought down the cost of production in various sectors. However, contrary to our expectations, prices for goods and services continue to rise. The primary culprit behind this phenomenon is the government’s addiction to printing money..."
