We have to build our own financial networks. Why are we playing by their rules? We have enough people to do this, and we don't have to use bitcoin to do it either.

People keep saying this but you don't always just pull all the infrastructure needed to run a second country within a country out of your butt.

That can only work for so long. In the interim it can even be a good business prospect in some areas but ultimately and particularly for cases like this your only sure thing may be the 2nd amendment if all other legal avenues fail.

Don't need a second country. Just need direct marketing to conservatives. Build American friendly banks, companies, department stores, entertainment, sports. Built by conservatives for conservatives. We can just go around them. They are too far gone. We have to move on..

Let me paint a scenario for you. Imagine a direct streaming tv service that offers OAN. Offers all of the movies/tv shows banned by cancel culture. There are more than you think. Offers new movies/tv shows made for us, not made to program us. Shows like Roseanne, which was the most popular tv show until they took it off the air. All the shows we watched growing up that are no longer shown because the networks are batshit crazy.

That is just one industry and it would be insanely popular. We don't need them. We can just go around those 'in charge'. Direct to the customer.

This will end in war, one way or another.

The problem with this thinking is that is exactly how societies break down and wars start. Economic bonds are the strongest ties between different groups of people. If you set up two parallel economic systems, you will soon have two different nations. One way, or the other.

You have to understand. This isn't our choice. I promise you that if we have the guts to do this, they would have no choice but go along... Eventually. Sure, there would be the fringe that wouldn't, but most would. Know why? Because we are the money. Where we go, they will be prosperous and the leftists will whither away. We don't have to play by their rules. I don't know why we do.

not really. We have somehow managed to regulate out water providers to not be able to shut off anyone's water over their political opinions.

I really don't know why payment processing to pay the water bill is considered not worth protecting in the same way.
