Well curated, thank you!
New disclosures for me but no real surprises.
I hope you will “love” individuals more than a “country” and never sacrifice individuals for whatever collective’s “Greater Good” as all governments do.
“The beginning of political wisdom is the realization that despite everything you’ve always been taught, the government is not really on your side; indeed, it is out to get you. The mass belief in the general beneficence of democracy represents a kind of Stockholm syndrome writ large. We shall never have real, lasting peace so long as we give our allegiance to the whole conglomeration of institutionalized exploiters and murderers we know as the state.” Robert Higgs
