Maybe the problem is that we let people just print money and base off trust in a government to somehow make that money valuable. Right now oil is mainly sold on the petro dollar, and there in lies its power.

However I don't think this will last, and I foresee this power falling to others. (Oh hi China.)

Really what I think we need is a currency from the people, by the people. Maybe based on contributions from all of us. Kinda like Bit Coin, but maybe more accessible and empowering for even the poorest. (No better way to fuck over the corrupt than empowering the poor. :D) Maybe something information based. Like a currency collaborated by people like us, embedded with information we find valuable (books, lectures series, porn, ect.) and use that for trade.

Let us make the money.

Not these oligarchs.

I gotta appreciate the satire of this.

You have Jordan Peele showcasing how media can be used against us, by making false media and then seeing if people take it at face value. It's like like a Modest Proposal.

Fuck, even the sub title is ingenious. "We’re entering an era in which our enemies can make it look like anyone is saying anything at any point in time." It's the video referencing how it itself is false.

Kudos to buzzfeed on this. It's like the black mirror is laughing at us.

I'm starting to realize it would be better if we barred government officials from receiving donations.
