>>we still have to wade through that nonsense today.
It’s unlikely a generation of pink-shirt wearing, pin-faced, tatooed, dishonesty rationalizing, self-“disabled” whiners has the requisite character or fitness to be able to accomplish that; and there's no evidence to the contrary thus far.
My guess is you’ll end up petrified in the stomach of some predator down at the watering hole just like the lesser dinosaurs who also failed to honestly adapt to the nature of the dangerous environment that evolved around them. Abla de Chinese? Been fitted for a Burkha yet?
>>But I guess I study history so I know stuff
>>that’s totally not useful.
“totally not useful”?
Perhaps, comrade Breckenridge, you can demonstrate usefulness by telling the class why the Soviet collective had to build a wall to contain its bipedal property in order to maintain the “soundness” of its monetary system?
>>we used to have things like sound money.
And what is the Paultardian proposal for rendering “sound money” in a quantifiable medium that is conducive to commerce in this multinational post-modern technocracy, hmmm?
Can “Sound money” exist in the context of a framework whose facilitators are morally corrupt? NO.
“It’s unlikely a generation of pink-shirt wearing, pin-faced, tatooed, dishonesty rationalizing, self-“disabled” whiners has the requisite character or fitness to be able to accomplish that; and there’s no evidence to the contrary thus far.”
Unlike the tie-dyed, fringed, dope smoking, zoned out, self-satisfied boomers? But then, it was good enough for Clinton to get elected?
“Abla de Chinese? Been fitted for a Burkha yet?”
Funny you mention that, given that boomers have been tearing down the west pretty much constantly?
No, I’m fighting the battle with the only folks who are gonna be around when the dust clears. With the Church, not against it.

As did Comrade Pelosi in confiscating passports from the unpersons? Plus ca change, plus de la meme chose. The only difference is that now we have those willing to give up their natural rights to the state.
But then that’s all ancient history.
Do you really think that the generation that fought on Normandy would look back at what you folks have done and are doing with pride? But, like you said, it’s all ancient history.
“Can “Sound money” exist in the context of a framework whose facilitators are morally corrupt? NO.”
The point of sound money is to take that decision out of the hands of the government - prior to the central bank, they couldn’t just ‘print money’ to pay their bills.
You know, just like Montesquieu and Hobbes? Restrain the state by restricting the power of the state. But then that’s ancient history.
