About a year ago, I drove a few hundred kilometers from Romania to Austria with an old man, and there’s this saying that young folks often trash: that old men have their wisdom.
I wouldn’t call it wisdom in most cases but rather a solid stash of experiences. When you’ve been through the fire, you get hardened, and in some cases, it really shows. One thing caught my attention back then and resurfaced in my memory today...
He told me that the reason so-called world leaders and the most influential families on Earth have desperately tried to pull humanity out of its ancestral, decentralized way of living and into the conglomerate cities we have now is control. They can exert way more control this way.
It’s easier to control the masses and make them dependent on the state when they’re packed into large communities than when they’re spread out, living independently.
In Romania, especially in the Banat region, there used to be tons of farmers, and it’s said they lived good lives because they were self-sufficient. Large families lived together, raising animals, growing their own food, harvesting, and so on and so forth.
They didn’t need the state or its overblown law-making machine for jack shit. But they were lured off the mountains into the valleys to build big communities, promised better access to education, healthcare, and all that jazz.
We got lied to about this centralized way of living we’re stuck with now. And it sucks bad...
During the feudal age, peasants only worked 140 days out of the year. I read about it in one of David Icke’s books, and according to him, those folks had everything they needed with just that much work. Think about how much the average Joe works these days and how little he actually owns.
Most people my age don’t own a house, don’t own land, don’t have their own business, and don’t have a decent savings account either. I guess we can thank central banking for that.
Those fuckers have been printing money out of thin air for over a century and convincing us it has value, when in reality, it doesn’t. The same things that have held value forever still do: land, gold, silver, art, skills, and now Bitcoin too.
That’s the stuff these oligarchs are hoarding at a crazy pace. But hardly anyone questions the status quo, and that sucks a lot... I wonder if we’ll ever see a golden age on this planet. One can only hope...
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
