Telling you that men in history before us have toiled and survived to see the end of dark times can not be interpreted as "rose colored glasses" in any way.

The USSR is not a comparison. The Black Plague is not a comparison, and what should it be a comparison to, COVID? Don't make me laugh.Those people didn't have in advance the answers and they still endured. Nobody came to save Eastern Europe, the revolutions of 1989 were not entirely grassroot but no saviour army came to them to liberate them and they still did it, and now they carry on with a fierce hatred of communism. I agree, nobody will come to save us, so let's do it ourselves.

Problem: banks have started blacklisting people due to political alignment; solution: you can't not have banks so the obvious response is to create your own. Problem: banks have been a monopoly; solution: break the monopoly by going your own way or sabotage them, GME has shown that the system isn't as stable as it wants to look. Problem: crypto can be rigged; solution: think of what is in your power to prevent it from being rigged or target the people who rig it. Problems will get more complicated as enemies counter your strategy, so keep developing new solutions to counter their own. I don't need to explain this do I?

It's expecting to have the perfect solution lying in front of you before you start doing anything that is not realistic. If you had the perfect solution already laid out, the enemy would immediately find a counter to that.

And all of this doesn't even yet make use of the violence card. (I do not advocate for violence.)

History is written by the 3% who have been violent. Nobody else has mattered, in the grand scheme.

You're talking about Eastern Europe, without context of the fallen USSR, and why it fell. That entirely makes my point.

This is a public monitored forum and you can't or won't read through the lines about the card, do as you please since I will not go looking for trouble.

Again you failed to understand that it was not a comparison, and I will not explain it again, especially since you missed the point given you also ignored the Black Plague part and your purpose seems to be absorbing any impetus and turn it inwards to prove to yourself that you're right and make you look at your navel. Stagnation.
