Well Said Sir... Even though I do not agree with you on several of the topics you touched on, I do agree as to the cause. So many layers/levels of oppression have been built up over the past 4 decades that no single solution will come close to freeing us from it, be it changing our politicians, peaceful and or violent protest, boycotts, sit-ins, walkouts, and all out revolt. None of these things will have any meaningful impact either stand alone or collectively. The government machine has become very efficient at crushing revolts, trivializing boycotts, sit-ins, and walkouts, and using protests of any kind to serve its purpose rather than the intended one.
There is however one thing that has the potential to shake the system to its foundation, to remove the death grip from our throats, and to empower each and every citizen of the earth. The answer is directly in front of us - and for anyone reading this, it is both metaphorical and literal. The continued and increasing use of digital currency will become the proverbial "straw".
Every single person has the power make a difference and do what at first will seem trivial, but as its use continues to grow, so too will our collective strength grow. I could go on forever - but for now I will just leave it with "your just gonna have to make up your own dam mind"... Great post and sorry for the rant... Steem on... :/
