The concept of government-backed, inflationary fiat money is so cemented in the psyche of the ordinary citizen, that any challenge to the idea is somehow perceived as a personal attack.
This phenomenon is much more prevalent in the older generations. I find it crazy how my parents always look for some authority to tell them what is legit and what isn't.
Most of the older generations are brainwashed beyond belief. The light at the end of the tunnel is that the millennials are much sharper, observant and ready to act on their disgust of central banking and the fake money system they were born into.
So true. I have had conversations in years' past with a close relative regarding central banking. His attitude was "Well, central banking was just a natural progression that evolved over time organically". What a bunch of garbage!
That's exactly how the banksters have been able to get away with their fiat money racket for so long: the dumbing down of the population. An ignorant, intellectually lazy electorate is exactly what the banker overlords desire.
The newer generations have wised up considerably.
I think the Internet has played an important role. It removed the gatekeepers of information. It also gave all the tin-foil-hate wearing crazies a platform to spread their craziness, but at least those who work at improving their epistemology can find the information out there for what's really going on.
What's funny to me is to think about how our kids will describe us.
Heheh. Who knows. :)
Let's not put all millenials into sharper and more observant category. Many are not.
I suppose that is a fair statement.
