conspiracy

cool thanks for the correction on JFK, I hadn't watched Corbett's video in your link at the time of posting but now I have. I've come across Corbett before but there's a wealth of knowledge there I still need to absorb, gonna watch his Century of Enslavement documentary next.

Re: de-banking, this reminds me of the old conspiracy cliche of implanted microchips (the so called "Mark of the Beast") where all your financial transactions have to pass through the implant and if you get out of line they just deactivate the chip so you can't buy anything. Turns out they don't actually need to put an implant in you to exclude you from buying what you need to survive.

"Well, one day their own opinion, or their lack of keeping up with their social credit score / carbon tax, will be their reason for being de-banked."

Good point here. A comment that came up in the Data Privacy thread here on Lemmy recently hits on a similar idea. Cheering on censorship or more government power is all fine and dandy until one day you hold an opposing viewpoint to the power structure then you'll wish you hadn't supported these mafia thugs.

Re: solutions, our ability to create an entirely new world definitely exists and is actually capable of being implemented, but not with the bullies still in power. Any attempt to implement meaningful change will be met with force by those who have a monopoly on the use of said force. Does it have to come down to fighting fire with fire though? Or can enough people eventually wake up and just choose to walk away from the system that it crumbles without firing a shot?
