RE: The Greatest Dis-empowerment — Complainers Beware!
Great post. It is also the essence of decentralization. By supporting decentralized networks like steemit it is disempowering the corporate oligarchy and banking establishment that have been the bane of every anti establishment rant I've ever heard in my lifetime. Prepping and investing in precious metals and crypto deprives the machine of much needed slave labor.
What you do not mention though is that there are many draconian laws that force people into the system or somehow make them outcasts of it. Sometimes getting off the toll bridge results in trolls coming to look for you. Expect that in tyranny everyone except for slaves becomes a criminal. Go all the way. Just stop complying and avoid corporate products and taxes as much as possible. Close your fakebook account and buy food from local farmers or grow your own. Become self sustainable and learn to function in the developing crypto economy. Make the leap from complainer to problem solver to freedom and international autonomy.
