libertyblitzkrieg | Contrary to popular opinion, I think a loss of faith in Washington
D.C. and its institutions is entirely rational and healthy. Maintaining
faith in something due to tradition or the fumes of hope won’t lead to
anything productive, rather, it’s preferable to honestly assess the
reality of whatever situation you’re in and reorient your worldview and
priorities accordingly.
Whether the issue relates to above the law criminal bankers, a
Federal Reserve which systematically funnels free money to the already
wealthy and powerful, the societal dominance of free speech and
privacy-despising tech giant monopolies, or the national security
state’s undeclared forever wars for empire, there’s no good reason to
maintain any faith in the federal government and the oligarchs/special
interests who control it.
Philosophically speaking, I’ve come to conclude the only way to truly
have self-government where community life reflects the desires and
needs of the people who live there is by concentrating decision making
at the local level. I’ve become increasingly interested in the general
idea of localism not just because I agree with it in theory, but because
it seems more and more people will begin to gravitate toward this
perspective and life strategy out of necessity and frustration.
Rather than groveling to Washington D.C., grassroots movements should
focus more on the local level where community can be built and things
can get done to reflect the desires of the people living there. The
entire notion of a one-size fits all approach to virtually all aspects
of life dictated via laws passed by corrupt egomaniacs in the swamp is
certifiably deranged.
