    I never agreed to it, and the way it’s dispersed

    1. You can disagree with giraffes too, to the same effect.

    2. You’re going to hate something because of the way governments distribute the thing it represents? How is that not like hating all water because you had a flood? Hating air because it’s too windy?

      You think social constructs are akin to animals and biological imperatives?

      By that strange logic, humans, Manifest Destiny (aka the kill all the natives cause we’re white and want their shit social construct of colonizing Americans), and thirst are all comparable concepts.

      I hate to tell you, but almost every economy that has ever existed has at some point collapsed, just as ours will one day. We can always kill all the giraffes, and we’re sure as shit the type, but I promise you, being thirsty will exist long after our currency and nation are nothing but a dull history lesson or forgotten all together.

      The owners of this system would have you believe it’s invulnerable, absolute, and forever, just like the Roman Emperors of old did.
