It's actually just scale. Fiat would work perfectly at smaller scales just like anything else. Also anything other than fiat, like gold or perhaps pure labor/trade, will still be exploited as a direct result of scale.

The larger a single entity gets, the more it has to eat to sustain itself.

Imagine your apartment building just exploding one day because some shit tribe in some shit country is mad about some other shit tribe that lives in the same shit country you just happen to live in.

99% of what Government is supposed to solve or claims to solve are problems that only exist because of government in the first place.

It's the worlds oldest and most successful scam.

@WayneWaldropW Seriously.

Large scale adoption of publicly hanging corrupt public servants and treasonous usurpers would go a long way toward solving most of the worlds problems.

@CatholicSat *some humans*

[Dave Atlas @da7las]

@CatholicSat It was never valid. The only difference now is humans can conceptualize why.

@AncapAir The "protein form factor" is exactly what makes it a dog.

That's why a dog is still a dog even when it has no bun.

@interesting_aIl Weird, I was reliably told we had a mass migration epidemic.

National identity is the expression of people who don't have a local identity.

In other words, we're trying to achieve the outcomes of community with the input of national identity and it can never work due to scaling limits. It just leaves people chasing an identity that doesn't actually exist, and ends up increasing the atomization of individualism without the familial glue of community and local idenitty.

[Dave Atlas @da7las]

I dare say, Nationalism is in-fact a more significant problem for humanity than any other political construct.

It is the ideology of scale, that ALL people should fit into a specific box, and if they don't, fuck'em.

[Dave Atlas @da7las]

It's actually worse than Communism because communism is only problematic when it's encompassed by nationalism (or globalism).

@elonmusk There's no point in having kids without a cultural reference point to raise them from.

@joeroganhq Just strap a bunch of rockets to it and push it closer to the sun

@ProtonMail No. You don't have to be conscious for someone else to use it.

Turns out the microplastics measurements from every lab ever was mostly contamination from the nitrile and latex gloves they all wear.

On top of that, the numbers the media ran with were the very highest numbers ever measured.

It's all lies.
