I’m surprised it’s not obvious to more people that a “rules based international order” that was itself based on theft/manipulation, would fail spectacularly.

More surprising for me though are the ones who know this….yet still believe they are solving it by outsourcing their agency to different faces through the same money.

Never underestimate human stupidity

Cognitive dissonance is very strong, most people don't want to confront the fact that they have been fooled or that they are complicit in their own deception.

I made this short video inspired by your book to hopefully aid in orange pilling 🙃 https://blossom.primal.net/b6e856a09b35b2b64575d92442d4072f4378916a68bbfbd713ca335cab3f4731.mp4

One if the reasons I can't take certain property rights seriously, if it's come from theft and violence then no reason some next ownership is sacrosanct.

I think fear is capturing their emotions. The low agency attitude is coming up in other aspects of their lives.

If it's manipulation, let it be manipulation, but let us know too...😀 Most people understand what's happening only when they're faced with the fact that it's already happened. There are some who don't understand what's happening even then. It's all about education....

Also surprising is when self-proclaimed bitcoiners, who know self sovereignty and decentralized systems are the solution, donate their time and energy to walled gardens. 🤔

The rules were always made by the people who benefited from breaking them. That is not a conspiracy. That is the history of every empire that called its expansion order. The surprising part is not the collapse. It is how many people who understand the collapse still hand their exit to an institution...

While this sounds lovely, the benefits of BTC purchasing power need to be realized. The last five years offered few opportunities for real inflation protection (2022 and 2023 Bitcoin accumulation). If you purchased Bitcoin in 2021, 2024, or 2025 your fiat escape advantage was more philosophical than...

You are so right Jeff , rules based international order have never existed. It should be called “bully based international order “

The average person is brainwashed, ignorant, hooked to platforms, entitled, lazy AF, and full of shit… what you expect? They are modern slaves and happy to be so! Don’t worry about it.

Well said! Instead of talking about "the rules based international order” we should talk about “the ponzi scheme based international chaos”.

The 'rules-based order' depended on a monetary substrate that made defection expensive. Bretton Woods enforced rules via convertibility — the cost of cheating was real, auditable gold claims. Once the constraint was removed in 1971, the rules became preferences. A system where rule enforcement dep...

Whose rules, and under what orders? And to what end? Nobody ever asks for the specifics, and literally the devil is in the details.

Hard Money Herald · 14w

The rules-based order assumed the constraint was self-enforcing once accepted. It wasn't. Bretton Woods had gold convertibility as the actual enforcement mechanism — a hard floor on dollar issuance. When Nixon closed the window in 1971, the rules became preferences. The behavior since is what you'...

The enforcement mechanism tells the whole story. Before 1971, the rules-based order had a hard floor — dollar credibility backed by gold convertibility gave the rules actual teeth. Nixon removed that floor and military capacity became the enforcement mechanism dressed in diplomatic language. The p...
