 Let them eat cake Hello, everyone Dylan Schumacher citadel defense. So for Christmas the Congress has voted on this bill That's 4,100 and some odd pages 1.7 and some odd trillion dollars of law of law that no one's read no one really knows what's in it that they voted and Sent through the government and is now going to become law in the United States of America And as I was thinking about this it really encapsulates the Frustration shall we say that a lot of people feel the current American system and the current way government is operating I've seen this sentiment multiple times and you probably have too But you know the government wants to know what's in your six hundred dollar Venmo action Well, they passed through 1.7 trillion dollars of law that no one's read no one really knows what's in it Right, and it's the perfect dichotomy right of rules for thee and not for me where the government And the and the Omni party that that runs the country is going to spend trillions I mean Trillions if it if you wanted to count to a billion a billion with a B It would take you 32 years if you were to count one number a second, right? It's something like 32 33 years you can look that up and fact check me I don't know how long it would take you to count to a trillion But I don't think you could do it in one of your lifetimes probably multiple lifetime, so it's really I'm quite unimaginable how much 1.7 trillion dollars is and of course the United States doesn't have it. We already have 33 Billion trillion trillion 33 trillion dollars in debt, so I guess what's another 1.7 or something Or they'll just print the money and inflation will go up whatever, you know, it'll all work out just fine, so Getting back to my point here I think that it represents the perfect dichotomy because the elites that the parasites who live off the rest of humanity Will of course demand that you do more with less that you be responsible You're just being greedy that you don't want to you're not okay with this the somnibus bill I mean the government would shut down otherwise and people lose their job that and how dare you sir not report What's in your 601 dollar Venmo transaction and that's why in this bill we're going to hire 87,000 more IRS agents in order to police you the impoverished peasant who is the real problem here Causing the issues now also at the top of course, you know Well, we're just going to continue to demand that you pay for our lifestyle and wealth and Satisfaction and you know it's preposterous that you even have a problem with this They will break the same morals that they will use to chide you with Right, so you're being greedy and and this is your problem for being so selfish and why don't you think of other people? And of course we need this money and you impoverished peasant who's being crushed by inflation Just need to cough up the money so that we can save the world from climate change. That's the problem you Up here at the top. I'm trying to help us out They will fly on private jets and die on stake while you are not allowed to heat your house in the winter and eat bugs Right and you're this isn't the last of this We're gonna see a lot more of this again I don't know what number of omnibus bill this is to prevent government shutdown But if this isn't the last one there's gonna be a lot more of these they're gonna continue to get bigger They're gonna continue to get worse both bigger and like papers and like dollar size, right? If you think 1.7 trillion is a lot believe me It's gonna get worse and they're gonna keep passing them there. This is this is again the the ride to the end We are past the point of no return The government will continue to pass these things Until it is physically Unable to do so as I was thinking about that these past couple days, right because it really does again It has that French Revolution feel of like embittered disenfranchised peasants. That's that's Normal people right disenfranchised peasants And and the and the aristocratic elite who doesn't care about anyone else but themselves Right and that's really we have an aristocracy at this point in in the country Not an oligarchy if you will of people who run things which you know in the past has worked out However again problem is that at some point the oligarchy the aristocracy Doesn't care about the nation or the peasants and when their interests are Counterposed with the peasants will then their interest swim and or in this case when their interests are Contradictory to the interests of the nation as a whole surviving functioning, you know working well then you know The course the Empire loses and and the aristocrats are going to take what they can right like vultures And we've seen this time and then time again This goes back to since we left the garden if you ever read a history book any time an empire gets to its dying stages This is what happens Aristocrats pick at the pieces and the rest of us are left in the wind as you think about that I think you can get to a couple places one is just utter despair, right? Just this there's no hope there's no God is dead and there's nothing to replace him and now we're all going to die in misery and kind of this nihilistic approach The other one you could get to I think is a place of deep anger and embitteredness and just Frustration that this is happening that these other people are completely ruining your life And there's nothing you can do about it and that can lead to a deep seated Rage and anger and and a thirst for vengeance and frustration and you can be very like let's get the guillotines out right you can you can get to that point so I've been thinking about that and I think that There's stuff that's more important than the falling apart of your nation not any things but a few things that are more important than the Falling part of your nation and you know that old proverb if you seek revenge dig two graves, right? Or before you go on a quest for revenge dig two graves or whatever. I think it's a Japanese or Chinese some proverb from that region of the world and And I think that applies what I mean is you can get to a point where the anger and the rage Consumes you and that's all you are is the anger and the rage And you can let that drive your daily thoughts and your daily patterns, right? We saw that with people who hated Trump so much, right that that's all they want a person anymore They're a person who hated Donald Trump and you can get to the same place and you can say well Dylan That's ridiculous. This is unjust and this is wrong and I would agree with you 1000% and it's gonna get worse. It's really unjust and it's really wrong and it's gonna get really bad However, if you let the anger control you One they win two You won't have a life worth saving anymore So I guess I would invite you to think about as we ride this train downhill to the end where it's gonna crash and burn And it's not gonna be good It's gonna be ugly but as we live through the dying of an empire and as the nation collapses and the dollar loses value and The economy crumbles and things get really bad and really ugly You have to choose What kind of person you're gonna want to be in that and if you're gonna be consumed with the rage and the anger That's not a life worth saving You can't control a lot of things in this world a lot Including the downfall the nation again. We're past the point of no return. It's gonna get worse. It's gonna keep going that way What can you do inside your own soul and your own heart and how can you get right with Jesus in order to survive that and Survive it well. I hope that gives a little introspection I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and I hope that ultimately you look forward to the future with hope Knowing that you're gonna control your character and we are going to have something after there's always something that comes after every time Life will go on. What kind of life do you want it to be? Do brave deeds and endure
