I am so thankful I found this post. First, sorry for the trouble that you've experienced back in Washington state, however I think you're doing something right.
As they say, the guns only start firing when the bomber nears the target. You're hitting close to home, sister, WELL DONE!
I totally understand your feeling about Anarchapulco and the feeling of liberation on social media. This year was my first time and on my social media, I also did not give ASingleF and was posting the good stuff. I've kept doing it too, but notice I have watered it down. time to step it up again.
I love how you said the New Cage movement. I've been listening to Mark Passio's podcasts and love his description of that. CHALLENGE these people! Because many are good but they are lost. And you can tell them the truth that they don't want to consider alternative information because of their big fat enormous EGO getting in the way. They could never be wrong...
Finally, it's in my head so I'll say it. In your bitcoin mining area of Washington, I would say a few things. If someone complains about the enviiiiiiironment you can ask them if they know which organization is the LARGEST POLLUTER on the planet. They probably won't know and you can tell them it's the US military. Then tell them to start protesting against that.
Secondly, if they are scared of a non-regulated currency I would say "Yeah, without the central bank making me poorer every year how would I live?"
When they give the conditioned "Federal Reserve is there to balance the economy, smooth out the business cycle" crap I would say:
"right, because before the Fed we had such horrible 15-year depressions and prices kept rising. Please tell me more about the GREAT GREAT Depression of 1835 and the Housing Bubble of 1867. Oh wait, those never happened because there wasn't a central bank." Something like that.
I don't want to tell you what you should say, but I like sharing my thoughts and think they can be helpful. Please feel free to do the same with me.
All the best and Go go go!
