I agree with the others. We've been an empire for a long time now. As far as what can be done about it... Right now, nothing except to keep bitcoining and, when we can, be loud about opposing it. But, it's during this phase of history that I (choose to) believe that we need to keep building and developing plans and philosophy and, for those more capable than myself, the infrastructure through code and invention to be ready to present the solutions when people are fed up and frightened enough and willing to listen. That being said, I'm choosing hope in spite of it not being my natural inclination. This all seems like we're in a 4th Turning. And, if that's the case, a 1st Turning is coming (assuming the model holds). Being ready with solutions and hope might be the best thing we can do.
