Two sentences in, I already knew I'm gonna love this post. As a proud UK citizen, all I can say is fuck the government. The US and UK governments are literally the biggest terrorist organisations on te planet which we are forced to fund by having money stolen from us. Dropped you a follow and resteemed because i love your ideas on this!

Yes, the first step in ending terrorism is de-funding the UK and US governments.
No worries man, you're absolutely right!
How can we defund something that creates its own "money" out of thin air? As long as they can use war to steal and secure economic resources, I do not see how we can change the situation.
I think it would be a three-step approach, initially:
• Stop funding state terrorism by not paying the government's ongoing bill for illegal war (taxes).
• Stop using the 'money' these two terrorist states print; to progressively invalidate their money as a container of value.
• Use a decentralised alternative technology for value transmission: Bitcoin or similar.
What do you feel?
We cannot depend on the majority to fight for their liberty or ours. They won't do it. This is the question of my life time really. How do we coexist with a majority of people who demand rulers when we reject them?
I do the second as much as I can. My bank accounts are kept extremely low and are only used to pay revolving bills. Otherwise, all of my stored labor is withdrawn from the system and converted into other stores of wealth. The more people do that, the better.
Actually, this brings up a good point I forgot to mention earlier. One of the primary ways individuals can fight the system and shut it down is to stay out of debt. Do not use debt, and do not allow others to profit from your debts. Any time we take out a loan, be it a mortgage, car, or credit card, we are feeding the system.
Only buy what you can afford. Mortgages are a tough one though, so I'd say they are an exception. Even there though, I would still say to only buy what you can easily afford. Make sure the mortgage is a very low rate too. That way the loan is probably lower than the inflation rate, so you're not really hurting yourself by having it.
Yes, crypto currencies are a wonderful way to fight the existing system. The more money put into it, the smaller the current system is and the less power it has. We are switching from a centralized system not under our control that directly profits from us being forced to use it to a decentralized system under our control without profit being siphoned from it.
Thanks for some inspiring advice, @finnian
