Not my point at all. You leave us alone, we’ll leave you alone. Let us build. You build.
America is what it is.
The government is actively challenging some of our efforts to build for ourselves.
You leave us alone, we’ll leave you alone.
That's not the system we inherited. We'll see what happens. It's my government now, so if I want to take revenge for historical injustices then I have a legal and cultural precedent to do so.
Don’t claim your group’s financial grievance is comparable to what my group endured. Taxation disputes are not the same as centuries of exclusion from property, credit, education, and wealth creation.
So stopping us from building for ourselves is the injustice.
Everything is a taxation dispute.
You know this history is bigger than taxes. You’re just reducing it to taxes.
It's a difference in severity. The principle of harvesting your labor against your consent for a project that doesn't benefit you is exactly the same. I understand that explicitly segregating the practice by race and beating you with a whip would be worse, but the fact is X% of your work is being exploited for my agenda and not yours simply because I have more guns on my side. Looks like slavery to me.
By your own logic, you’re getting screwed too. Deficits are still piling up, long-term rates are near multi-decade highs, Bitcoin is getting hammered, and you think your agenda is winning?
Asset owners will win. Builders will win. People who can accumulate capital and build institutions will win.
So if your side really believes in markets, self-reliance, and building your own, why does Black self-help suddenly become a problem?
If Black people raise money, build institutions, fund scholarships, and help each other accumulate wealth, why are you trying to stop it?
So if your side really believes in markets, self-reliance, and building your own, why does Black self-help suddenly become a problem?
Under normal circumstances it wouldn't be, but these are not normal circumstances, and you have a pretty terrible recent history of playing anti-white anti-capitalist grievance politics, so for the time being we have to spy on you.
As long as you hold Bitcoin and avoid the DSA you'll be fine.

Everyone is screwed in the short term. We're trying to speedrun this, but my agenda could take some 5-10 years of pain to get done.
The reason Bitcoin down is because I'm trying to maintain a route to the sea on the west coast and it's expensive. Fighting the communists for territory is expensive. If they would just surrender and/or leave this would go a lot smoother.
Ohh so you want your group to be able to raise money for themselves without federal interference.
Because when my group has money, that's obviously because of slavery and Jim Crow, so the federal government has to intervene.
