We must reject the comforting lies: that we must trust the system, that debt creates value, that fraud fuels prosperity, that inflation is necessary.

Our choices determine whether civilization endures or collapses, and rejecting evil carries a cost, but submission costs far more.

— Neal Flesher, Modern Chains (Chapter 10)
