    We're running out of time. And if you don't see that... I don't know - what's your solution?
    There is no solution. On the scale of national politics, what will happen will happen, and neither you nor I can change or influence it. We're best off doing what we can within our spheres of influence, accepting the inevitable, and adjusting our lives to live as free as we can in an unfree world.
    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.

    I dunno.

    A butterfly flaps its wings and all that.

    Some dude on some backwards message board says the words "vote harder" and it becomes a popular political meme (h/t AF). Which in turn leads to distrust in the political system. Which in turn lead to skepticism in 2020 election. Which led to Jan 6.

    Yes - you heard that right, I basically single handedly caused Jan 6.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    What good do you think this sort of nihilism does for the prospects of liberty, IM?

    All of this could have been said about Ron's campaigns. They did more good than we can possibly calculate.

    As @TheTexan noted, forces set into motion have a way of making an impact.

    Let it not be said that we did nothing.
