It has come to my attention that many people in and around Bitcoin are bag pumping maxis, and not freedom maxis. What is driving this should be pretty apparent. Every meaningful dissident group over the past 100 years has been completely coopted. Bitcoin as a technology is the most promising alternative to being ruled by pedophiles that I have seen in my lifetime, because of the possibility of really eliminating central banking and opening up true market competition for money instead of coercion.
That being said, many individuals seem to be either forgetting or ignoring the wonderful ways the US federal government has exported democracy to the rest of the world. Being one of the most violent and evil institutions in existence today is hardly reason for folks to question its authority or legitimacy.
My personal favorite way the US has exported freedom and democracy has been the War on Terror. The WoT is notable because of how powerful the propaganda used around it. Instituting TSA, the Patriot Act, while Toby Keith sings about the land of the free, and people cheer is impressive. Around 70% of individuals living in the US believed that Sadam Hussein was responsible for 9/11 because of media brainwashing. The American people were sold the lie that Iraq was a threat to national security and cheered an invasion which would eventually lead to over 1 million dead civilians. While murdering 1 person is punishable by prison, murdering 1 million is just exporting freedom and democracy to the undeveloped barbarian nations that have no right to self determination.
Following the war in Iraq, the US government sought to export democracy to Syria and Libya, only partially succeeding in Syria. This strategy included funding/supplying groups like ISIS, which the US Government used as an excuse to remain militarily active in Iraq, while also toppling the Libyan government for freedom.
A big part of the WoT is funding the terrorists which the war is being waged against.
Oh and let's not forget how the US is supporting free journalism that is the bedrock of democracy by trying to kill Julian Assange for exposing inconvenient truths about their exportation of freedom and peace.
Anyways, what are your favorite ways you've seen the US government export democracy and freedom to the rest of the world?
When we "exported" those C4 charges onto Nordstream 1 and 2.

"We?" I personally took no part in that. But that was definitely a CIA banger

One of the CIA bangers of all time.

  1. The woke communist agenda
  2. Massive lending fake money to poor countries
  3. Grab with force all others national resources
  4. De-throne those local leaders that oppose US policy
  5. Sanctions other countries on public, but still dealing arms, uranium, oil etc behind the scenes. And all for people suffering.
I wonder when the US people are waking up and stand their ground to stop this tyranny ? ... oh are too many statists in US than in the rest of the world. US became a cesspool of statists. Not anymore the "land of the free..." Damn it, Yuri Bezmenov was 100% right!

The Pakistanis are really benefitting from the billions sent to them by the US feds for gender studies.
Debt trap diplomacy is a good way to ensure democracy.
Part of democracy is bigger groups violently dominating smaller groups, so stealing resources from smaller countries is actually a part of democracy.
Small governments exist to do what the US government wants. The US is the city on the hill and beacon of freedom.
Civilians should be punished for their government's bad behavior which upsets the US. Sanctions are great for that reason.

I don't know about exports, but this great nation kept us free from the influence of the pot-smoking negroes with their satanic music.
Then they made sure us whites were free of having negro neighbors, by only allowing them to live in certain, undesirable areas.
Then we created a "real" "war" against "drugs". This kept us free to maintain our pure white culture by incarcerating as many African Americans as possible. Once again, our children were free.
We also gave freedom to banks, who were able to help low-income people of color "afford" housing in the 2000s.
I'll tell you what, it's a good thing the whites are the primary owners of Bitcoin, otherwise we'd have a real war on our hands.

We sent Billy Joel to the USSR in the late '80s and Communism fell. The UK and their precious Beatles couldn't manage that when they tried it.

The War on Drugs championed by the puritan US has allowed to fund producer-countries elites with millions of dollars and guns to fight the actual root of drug addiction: the thousands of poor farmers who have no other choice than planting coca leaves in order to survive, because otherwise armed mafias will eliminate them. Nevermind the fact that this huge effort has only lead to an exponential growth of drug production, since most of the money is spent in government corruption, while making richer the cartels.
Of course this successful policy is not focused on those millions of drug-addicts in their own country, because otherwise how would they keep up with stress if they don't snort some coke every day. On the contrary, the DEA needs to work along with cartels to help them in their holy effort. "It's not US, it's them. So let's bring in extradition some of their mafia heads from time to time, to make our people believe that we really are winning this war." All in the name of freedom and democracy, of course. And let's not even think in legalizing cocaine...

The CIA likes to use drug smuggling to fund other efforts to export democracy. It's all pretty wild
reply
Right now, Ukraine. I'm getting bored though.
reply
Oh my, where to even start...
First of all I must admit that once I was an armed member of a terrorist organization...
Admittedly this was during the Cold War, I was young, so I didn't know any better. Of course that is no excuse!
I guess that when it really dawned on me that I was caught up in this was when one of the capos of this criminal enterprise boasted that its field headquarters was capable of surviving a nuclear hit 400 yards away while still being operational...
Of course I should have left right away, but even more than fear of death I do understand the fear of being incarcerated, especially when you're still able to roam around more or less freely when not working for the gang!
Knowing that you're in a criminal enterprise while not able to get out, what is there to do? It is only in retrospect that I understand how we coped, of course we started sabotaging the hell out of random shit ;-)
Which is how I ended up in a snow drift right outside of the den of local crime leaders with a wrench, then hauling off the large roadsign that bore the name of the camp we were placed in!
This is the part of the past that I'm proud of, the sabotage training was very good. It was mostly done all alone in the dark of night, but later on I found a good fellowship in my roommates, which led us down a trail of pure madness - without ever getting caught ;-)
It got close though, which we also got confirmation about from a guy that one of us knew, who actually was following us all through a really wild night, but always arriving a few minutes too late...
Does anyone hand out medals for dodging any possible authority through a wild, drunken night? I mean, apart from the MPs even ambulances and the fire brigade was after us.......
And then it all ended later that spring, my 1 year stint in the despicable, criminal organization that is NATO was over. Oh wait, actually they hauled me in again in 90, armed me and sent me home for a leave, while ginning up a ton of fear of Saddam and whatever that I might not remember.
A few years later I actually got a formal discharge, but my own proof of that is rather the sign that I have with me here saying "officers mess".
Little did the officers sitting on the other side of that flimsy door know that I ripped it off right under their noses, and that any sane, human being would be on my side of that story if they had a good birds view of it all!
Stay free, never surrender!
reply
That's a wild experience. Thanks for sharing about it.
reply
Haha yeah, it was so wild that when I was back up in the North 15 years later I was still looking over my shoulder... ;-)
I'll write about that with all the funny details once I figure out how to monetize shit outside the Amazon death camps!
A lot of it was psychological warfare with the officers haha, especially when all of us had blue cloth gloves on a Sunday of all days, that came from a raid late that Saturday.
Anything unpredictable tended to make them not even dare to ask haha!
reply
First of all I deny (I agree with you @thebitcoinbugle) that US has exported any freedom and democracy to anyone. What US exportes are its troops wherever they can and that too when they find the investment profitable.

When people are able to see that government doesn't serve/work for them, and only works for oligarchs, productive activities can commence

That’s my favorite, too.
I would suggest you reading (if you haven’t) the Black Mass written by John Gray. It’s a great book. He analyzes this topic in a very interesting way.

Will do. That sounds interesting

I agree that the US uses war like no one else, but all in the name of the dollar. My favorite way is through internal cultural example, mainly through freedom in business.

Culturally, the US is definitely dominating in regards to music, movies, political discourse, Bitcoin conferences, etc

Go ahead then, Mr.Freedom, enlighten us on how we can become the mighty-fine spearhead that'll bore itself into the hearts of those mighty, corrupt and vile actors you're describing, I'm all for it.

Step 1. would be legalizing smoking on airplanes. You cannot even pretend to live in a free society without that one. The more people smoking in a society means the more enlightened individuals who can begin to comprehend that it's not okay to be ruled by war criminals and pedophiles.

Look at Syria and Iraq now- largely controlled by Iran backed Shite militias. The oilfields of Iraq are now being rebuilt by Chinese engineers. The US is a failing crumbling empire and China is rising. China backs Iran and Russia-both attacking the USA. This is WW3.
