Toast message
1. As a man, the only people who will follow you is your family. I've only had one deal so far that has worked out for a cooperative with a neighbor to pool money together to buy and resell things to generate wealth. This was after pitching the idea to at least 5 other so-called based men that each had bullshit excuses of why they were unable to join in.
2. Bartering has NEVER worked out for me. I'll ask for labor on my property in exchange for products that I have and the other person is "too busy" or whatever. I'll try to trade product for product and the other person (who presented the idea of trading) wants to trade their broken item for my working item with no cash on their side. Or they want to trade weird shit that nobody wants for my in demand item. Or their item is far less valuable than mine. It's so much easier selling for cash.
3. Weak men are unwilling to endure hardship at all. They will do almost anything to retain their ability to buy and consume goyslop or watch sportsball. Until the power goes out for an extended time or some other major event that disrupts their distractions, weak men are unwilling to do anything to exit the system or take any steps to prepare. By then it is too late.
I'd love to hear a success story behind any of this if any of y'all have one. It's kind of depressing for me since my neighbors pretend to be pretty far in the based zone but aren't willing to do anything further than talk about it. On the other hand it has encouraged me to have lots of white babies so we can build our own paradise.
As you say: try organizing the exchange of goods and services without money and see how far you get. You'll either get ripped off, generate ill-will when you rip the other guy off, or nobody will want to trade. Money provides an instantaneous exchange of value that is liquid and universally accepted by others. The problem isn't money.
The problem is our money has no value. It can change on a dime and the labour you put in to building your friends house can become worth a single loaf of bread overnight. That's bullshit.
Precious metals work because they're finite and, more importantly, useful; they will never drop to zero. Paper money that can be redeemed for precious metals *can* work if the exchanger can be trusted. Paper money based on "muh economy", the flow of money, is worth nothing because you can't actually lay hands on it.
Money isn't the solution, but it *is* a prerequisite.
The solution is people spending their money in ways that will benefit their group.
The middle class fucked themselves by spending all their money on vacations (in foreign countries), luxury goods (made in China), and interest generating investments (benefitting you know who).
Imagine if they spent all that excess wealth, the most the middle class has *ever* controlled, on their families, neighbours, and cities?
The city I live in was built by farmers, factory owners, and local merchants; not exactly poor, but definitely not upper class in any scale beyond their locale. They built, with their own money, organised through municipal (voluntary) subscriptions: roads, an electrical grid, schools, street lights, running water, gas, and everything else we think of as being city-run today.
I have yet to meet a Boomer that didn't do everything in their power to avoid paying taxes while, at the same time, refusing to contribute their money to anything local. They have no problem sending their cash to "starving Africans" but it's "the government's" problem if kids are starving in their own town.
I don't pay taxes either, but I make sure to contribute to my local community when I see the need. If everyone did the same, we could drop the whole government tax scheme and go back to what it started as: a way to organise local effort and voluntary funding for shared concerns.
