We Keep Getting Played By Crisis Politics
from Peasants Perspective · host Taylor Johnatakis
Send us Fan MailThey tell us we need a crisis to justify the spending, the rules, and the “experts” who always seem to benefit. We challenge that whole engine today, starting with everyday choices like Bitcoin and homeschooling and ending with the big narratives that move nations. We talk through why Bitcoin can feel like gambling in the short run but becomes a serious long-term strategy when you understand cycles, incentives, and regulation. Then we dig into the homeschooling boom and why more families see public school as a time sink that also imports a culture they never consented to. We connect the dots between family structure, education, personal responsibility, and the kind of citizens a country produces. From there, we lay out the Hegelian dialectic in plain language: create or elevate a problem, force a public argument, then lock in a “solution” that becomes the new normal. We use climate change policy as the case study, including the money trails, NGO incentives, and how “weaponized empathy” shows up in healthcare benefits, migration narratives, and local bureaucracy. We also hit hard numbers that should scare anyone who thinks trade and security are guaranteed, like the tiny count of US-flagged merchant ships compared to China’s fleet, plus Seattle grant fraud allegations and New York’s push to tax empty luxury property. We round it out with election integrity claims, DOJ misconduct allegations, debate over compensation for government weaponization, and a look at whether UFO disclosure could become the next all-purpose boogeyman.
