Well, here's the thing.
The thing that stops everything from falling apart is that the one thing you can do with your money is turn it into a gun.
And that's what stops it from falling apart, right?
Now I'm listening.
And this is also a sort of graperism, but it's like behind every bank is a man with a gun.
Because the reason that this money is even sort of real is that the bank can, like, the police will come get you, right?
Like, men with guns will appear and coerce you to pay shit, right?
But what if instead of burger, we bought guns?
You know, like, this is what is broadly referred to as the social revolution.
It is broadly considered a negative by the financial sector.
It is broadly considered a positive by everyone the fuck else.
That's not true.
It's not considered a positive by, like, I guess the people who own regular businesses.
And this is like the shit that like, you know, it was kind of less unhinged back then.
But like if you go read the people who were like doing this shit in like the early 1900s, if you read their writing, it's all them being like, oh, yeah, no.
By the way, like a bunch of banks just like turned the entire Ottoman Empire into like a debt peon.
And now their entire economy is just dedicated to paying off these fucking loans.
And this is like hideously fucking evil.
Like they're all complaining about the same shit.
And the important lesson we learned from that.
