So true Ibon. Real rebellion doesn't wear false flags and spout slogans. The young here in the US today have been sold a bill of goods.They don't vote or participate because they know it doesn't count. The economic trajectory is down for them.
They are nothing like the old white Tea Party types believe they have taken control of the US government. Laughable. The Freedom Caucus is a complete joke. Those idiots are owned by the US Chamber of Commerce and Goldman Sachs just like the rest of the Repubs, Dems and media. The young don't buy it. They are quietly formenting revolution, not as a theory or plan or group think, but just plain out cynicism. It will be a simple spark that will set it off. Trust me. We won't even see it coming.

I realized that the PTB wanted to suck the life out of me and give me nothing in return so by divorcing myself from it I have taken control and they have lost it. I watch the talking heads talk about banks failing and taxes rising and I just grin.
I am hoping to enter into poverty in the next few years and totally eliminate my tax burden

I may be 70, but I can still put 10 out of 10 into the black at 500 yards.
All I need is some young person to carry my rifle and 200 rounds.

So here I am spoiled as shit and thumbing my nose at 'the man'. There is a great advantage to being able to tell him to F*** off.

baha wrote:This is the bottom up approach...I did what SG does for while and loved it. I only gave it up after I crafted a plan to re-enter the workplace without allowing the hooks to be set. I lived in my RV for the first year as a solar installer and saved money. I bought a house with a 100% VA loan and then paid it off as fast as possible. I drove an antique car to avoid payments. I tackled a new industry partly because I got to call the shots.
When my PV array is done I may focus on making Duke Power miserable I see great opportunities there after I remove my dependence.
