    I want to believe that the kids mentioned in posts like this are playing along with their parents’ delusions so they don’t have to sit through another lecture about how the Federal Reserve is a Ponzi scheme and they’re chemtrailing us with fluoride.

      Unfortunately I believed the whole states rights thing until at least early highschool but I’m actually not sure exactly where that ended. My childhood memories are full of holes and every time I manage to remember something I wish I hadn’t so I mostly just leave them alone now.

          Yeah I like the guy who was like “well I was a socialist in the fifth grade!” yeah I wasn’t raised by actual neo-nazis but I was raised in their territory by people who only disagreed with the actual overtly violent parts so good for you do you want a fucking sticker?

          That’s awesome. I have a formative memory as like a 10 year old putting on a magic play for 5 year olds, and our teacher told us that little kids believe in magic and it turned out to be true because they believed what we were doing

      I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn’t enough print money in existence to pay them back.
