What does not work is asking permission. Every request for reform is an acknowledgment of authority. Every petition concedes that the petitioned has the right to grant or deny. Those who have left do not concede this. They do not ask. They build, use what they build, and invite others to do the same.

Perfect for New Year's Eve. I'm going to share this to no coiner friends and to those beginning the journey.
We all need reminding of this. It's easy to read it and to be inspired for an hour or two. It's a lot harder to live each day with this mindset. I'm working on it.
I also liked the article, but just to play devil's advocate, how would you respond to the (fairly typical) normie response that we're just LARPing and that we depend on the system just as much as anyone, we just pretend that we don't.
I personally do not "depend" so much of the system.
It's all about how you find YOUR way to get out of the system, is not about how the system is letting you go. There are many ways to stay out.
And I've talk about that many times here, but seems that I speak to the walls... is about to build yourself a parallel economy.
First of all you need a good stash of BTC.
Secondly you need a way to EARN bitcoin, not buying it anymore, because buying means you are still using fiat; that means you still depend on the system.
Third, you need to find around you, a community of merchants that accept BTC and start slowly a circular economy.
Fourth, remove all the legacy chains with the state: govID, licenses etc. Make your own as a true sovereign individual.
Once you are out totally from fiat world, you can do whatever you want. For many stackers, even this idea of living out of fiat is scary...
I did all that during years and years of battles. Is not easy. I am still struggling to keep this status because is not easy with a family.
The important thing is IF you want to get out... not just larping or hoping.
You know what they say: live free of die ... trying.
I've never seen an objection along those lines. Speaking for myself, I definitely am exploiting the current system. I don't really feel guilty about that. I was exploited my whole life by the powers that be.
Max is sharing good articles in Nostr. Could be great if he was here in SN.
Great article!
I really want to believe this -- and the article sure gets me pumped up -- but we are still physical beings, and governments still feel the need to point guns at us and stick us in prison. I'm not sure I believe we really have somewhere else to go...yet.
This is really good, though.
