DC’s police force has just been placed under federal command, sold as a move for “safety” and “order.” But centralization of force is rarely temporary.

History shows once local authority is surrendered upward, it almost never comes back. The more control moves to the center, the further it gets from the people it’s meant to serve.

Bitcoiners understand the opposite principle: security comes from decentralization, not consolidation. The question is: how far can centralization go before the cost is irreversible?

What’s your perspective? Is this a short-term fix, or another permanent shift away from local autonomy?
