modern slaves
Hey friend,
The way we think about slavery, is that it is something that happened in the past.
A distant memory for most young people, in most of the world.
But consider, that slavery is not over, it has merely changed forms.
The current economic system of debt, and inflation, and fines, is slavery.
If the government has unlimited supply and prints at will.
If you were raised to accept that the government deserves half of what you make, while all the major corporations pay close to nothing.
If you are indoctrinated into 30 year loans for a basic thing like housing.
If your are indoctrinated into taking on hundreds of thousands in debt for an education that delivers close to nothing.
If you can get fined ridiculous amounts of money for driving and parking your own car.
You are not free, your just a new type of slave.
You are working not for yourself, but for a system.
If you do what is prescribed and encouraged by the system, you will never be free.
Consider, the only way to be a sovereign individual in the modern world, is entrepreneurship.
It’s the only way that you stand a chance against the system that is designed to take everything from you.
It’s the only path of freedom.
You will not have the same results as your parents or grandparents if you play the game the same as them.
