The means of coercive control are themselves a ponzi.

As long as everyone keeps their money in — currency, psychology, attention, whatever, it grows.

When a bank run happens, started with little acts of rebellion, it collapses.

The most important step is getting to the point where blindly following the will of authority is not the DEFAULT behavior.

Because “those are the rules” holds no water in a situation of coercive control.

Then things become a more natural and healthy view in terms of simple risk and reward. Expanding your freedom capital slowly overtime with micro-transgressions against coercive mechanisms and limiting risk as much as possible.

There has never been a time in history where change has been accepted all at once by a majority of the population. Never. The majority follows momentum. It is the job of the visionaries to create that momentum with strategies commensurate with the ultimate principles of

Non-initiatory aggression and more practical analysis of your current risk-reward profile. Every little transgression is momentum-building. Every frank conversation with others about how coercive control is inherently immoral.

Blind rage and fear may inspire dopamine production, but this is not how the war is won. It is won with principles leading the charge, so that you never become the enemy and so that you can actually present a better alternative as more people become disillusioned with authority.

Every piece of produce purchased at a farmer’s market builds momentum. Every transaction conducted peer-to-peer with no intermediary builds momentum. Every little action of non-compliance weakens the ponzi’s own momentum.

Every skill learned. Every tiny loophole exploited.

Blindly accepting coercive control under the guise of ephemeral authority is a learned habit of the populace.

Break the habit and it all falls down.
