300 million people in the United states over half the globe. All enjoying liberties and opportunities unheard of elsewhere in the world. Saying "burn it down" just sounds childish. Sure, it's been hijacked and slipping into authoritarianism....but to throw it all out is stupid.

Sorry, could you point me to the time in history before it was hijacked? Was it slavery? Jim Crow? When women couldn't vote? When being gay was illegal? Was it the genocide of millions of indigenous people? Japanese Internment?

Right around the time the federal reserve was created.

The Federal Reserve was established in 1913. Some things that happened before 1913 include but are far from limited to:

  • The enslavement of millions

  • The Trail of Tears

  • The massacre at Wounded Knee

  • The founding of the KKK

  • Literally thousands of lynchings

  • Jim Crow laws

  • Ubiquitous sweatshop labour, including by children

And if the America you're advocating for is the kind that does shit like that, I'd like to ask that you please fuck off and die

The Federal Reserve Act was spearheaded by Nelson Aldrich, a Republican senator.

So it sounds to me like you want to go back to a time controlled by democrats that was ruined by the actions of republicans right?

(also do you think I'm a democrat because if so that's fucking hilarious)
