Then it wasn't a gateway, it was a gate keeper. Why? Because if it didn't exist those people would of gone straight to the right thing day one. See what I'm saying now?

If you're an anarcho capitalist in 2025, you still don't understand and likely will never understand how the world works.

Everything is predicted on force or the threat of violence. EVERYTHING. This is why every state's first and last order of business is not gold or finances, it is able bodied fighting men who are obedient.

Anyone with store of value in very bad times will just have their assets taken from them by FORCE if they cannot outgun/fight off institutions/people willing to fight them for their store of value, wether it's gold, money, food, whatever. Last I checked the state always had a monopoly on force.

The state of concept of state isn't the problem any more or less than the human condition, human nature is the problem. It's like trying to not get wet when you jump into a body of water. It's just not going to happen, it comes with the territory.

If you're confronted with something that is inevitable, you don't fight to to prevent or stop it because you're wasting your time and energy. You do what you can to mitigate it's effects. Selling the idea that previous metals is a one all solution to usury and jewish finance who control governments that have monopoly on force is ludicrous.

Cut him some slack, some libertarians with time become Christian nationalists or monarchists. It's a step along a path towards more useful ideas.

Many of them subvert the system in their own way, or help others understand the dangers of trusting the government, and propose ways to become less susceptible to the mistakes that the establishment makes.

Gold is a good idea. It shields from economic crashes and guards against inflation. If shit hits the fan, it has a higher chance of being useful than paper money.

Does it solve all issues? Not even close. Is it better than doing literally nothing? Yes, definitely.

As if both those are also steps along the path to useful ideas, they aren't. None of them are.

Sorry to burst your bubble but gold isn't going to help you or anyone else if/when shit hits the fan. What's going to help is useful skills and abilities. End of story.

The most valuable thing in the world is the labour of men. This is why everyone is always vying for contro overl or access to it. It is why even john locke in his second treaties of government admitted the flaw of money/store of value in comparison to labour.

Nobody is going to want your gold in times of scarcity, they aren't going to want your crypto either. Worse yet fiat. Nobody, not even the government. People are going to go after resources and skills. A financial collapse is going to have precious metals as valuable and it is then the government will just take your gold away if they can find/catch/fight you for it. You're not going to win in that scenario unless the government can't catch or find you.

All these meme ideologies are stupid and help jews and their golems fulfill THEIR end goals because it subverts society and the system the way THEY like.

Playing into your enemy's hands is a moronic strategy. If you want to distance yourself from Uncle Sambostein's financial fisting then you simply stop taking loans/don't pay back financial creditors if you can manage it. Withhold whatever amount of your income you can from being taxed or better yet leave the united states and work somewhere else if one feels that strongly about feeding the machine.

Libertarians are some of the most deluded people on the planet. They preach small government while they are citizens of or living under the worlds biggest government of all time.

Just saying that libertarianism was a gateway drug for many people who later on progressed further down the road, some of them very influential.

Anything that slows someone's progress to what would otherwise be a sound conclusion isn't a gateway, it's the opposite; a gatekeeper.
