Future historians won’t marvel at how the elites captured the system. They’ll marvel at how the masses begged them to do it.
The real scam wasn’t the Federal Reserve printing money into oblivion. It wasn’t Wall Street getting bailed out while Main Street got liquidated. It wasn’t even the revolving door between Goldman Sachs and the Treasury.
The real scam was convincing people that the solution to corporate cronyism was more government power. That the answer to regulatory capture was more regulations. That the cure for monetary debasement was letting the same people who caused it “fix” it.
They didn’t just accept the inflation tax. They demanded it, as long as it was packaged as “stimulus.” They didn’t just tolerate the surveillance state. They built it themselves, one privacy-invading app at a time. They cheered as small businesses were strangled by compliance costs that only Fortune 500 companies could afford to navigate.
Not because any of this made them richer or freer. But because they were told it would stop the other tribe from winning.
Meanwhile, the only ones actually winning were the people writing the rules. Hard money doesn’t care about your politics. It just exposes who’s been swimming naked when the tide goes out
