Totally Bat Shit Crazy (TBSC) = detached from nature, both physical nature and human nature. In short, it's an entirely Woke Marxist Fascist Communist Hybrid disconnected from the real wants of real people ... like putting food in the mouth and gas in the car. Such a world is one of pretend and made up whim. Detached from reality, including rigged markets and imaginary money, is definitionally INSANITY. The remarkable thing is it has taken some seventy-seven years for INSANITY post the USD becoming the World Reserve Currency for insanity to get so wildly large as to conspicuously bit us in the ass.
Insanity, whether the French or Russian Revolutions, or the current state of the Western World Complex, never lasts because it is ... erh! Insane! How will it end this time? I have no idea, but we see the cracks opening up before our eyes. As to my best guess, the insanity will begin to dry up as the money dries up. That is, the more the USD is marginalized by the rising multi-polar money system, the less demand there will be for USD. It could be this in combination with collapsing economies such as we see in Europe, and to some extent ... in North America ... which clips the wings of a raging insanity.
There is no Truth in an insane world ... and yet Man, no matter how hard he tries, cannot live without Truth.
What’s ironic is that on a recent podcast Libertarian Institute and Antiwar.com editor Scott Horton quipped that under the current economic rules of printing an endless supply of dollars, there is no actual reason to collect taxes anymore because you are printing the money anyway. The more I thought about it I realized he was absolutely right. If you are gonna print and spend then just forget about tax collection and provide a huge stimulus to the economy for it to grow anyway. It’s like a self licking ice cream cone.
G. Edward Griffiths, author of The Creatuure From Jekyll Island about formation of the Federal Reserve, posits in his book that once the Federal Reserve was established, they had to pass the income tax amendment to provide an explanation for where all the money was coming from as a result of the Federal Reserve printing money machine.
This is a correct thought within a circular universe uncoupled from material reality. In the material world (nature and natural Man) exchange is 'something given in consideration' for something else. In short, tit for tat. That is, for example, one suit of cloths given in consideration (exchange for) one standard bale of cotton. Or it could be paid for in money of substance as in two tenths of an ounce of gold for that same suit of clothing. Also, bear in mind that a certain rate of taxation is actually a claim on a certain percentage of labor return and/or goods. So far, all real things with definition ... and defined physical limits.
'Money' printing of money of no substance (imaginary currency called fiat) cannot go on forever without limitation. At some point something snaps ... and that something is credibility. Depraved Man (sinful, corrupt) eventually loses discipline and pushes an infinitely plastic 'money' to the moon ... at which point Man would rather own tangible goods which have a finite property ... and thus always retain some intrinsic value.
But yours is an artful way of saying it. And indeed, 'it's like a self licking ice cream cone ... but one that eventually causes a huge bellyache. And a problem for everyone. And I'd say, with a myriad of corruption going on in the virtual reality which is now the Collective West, the rest of the world has had a belly full and seems to want no more of that self licking ice cream cone.
You are right again. My only point is that (no matter how logical a premise is within a closed system) insane premises, solutions, presuppositions lead only to further (and often more virulent) forms of insanity.
MMT (Modern Monetary Theory) basically says 'the system' can print as much 'money' as it wants. However, plastic money to infinity is a house of cards awaiting toppling. And this by way of long historical experience.
The Federal Reserve 'USD' is an imaginary unit of account. Imaginary equals 'just made up' and 'severed from the natural world of substance (i.e. money of substance). Imaginary 'money' insanity leads directly to funding insanity. That is, want something? Well! Just print more imaginary money.
Only one thing, daverkb -- The revolution to which you refer in Christian Russia? That was the Bolshevik Revolution -- not the "Russian" revolution. The Bolsheviks were primarily a group utterly opposed to Christianity, funded by the same in New York.
It has been called variously the Russian Revolution or Bolshevik Revolution, BUT ... with overwhelming 80% Jewish involvement, the Bolshevik Revolution was a largely a financed and controlled Jewish Revolt. It was a usurpation of centuries of Christian Czarist rule amalgamated with a large dose of revenge. Also, it was largely funded by Jacob H. Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb of New York as well as some leading Frankfurt bankers ... and the same crowd. And where do we see this same history and caste of characters repeating today? Let the readers supply the answer.
P.S. To call what happened in Russia in 1917 the "Russian Revolution" vs. what it actually was and what ensued as a result of the descent of Christian Russia into Soviet communism is all marketing, dave. 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈...

This and so much more begs the question re what "everybody knows" about the history of that European country -- that shall remain unnamed -- at the center of WWII. How, actually, can any one of us believe a word of it? Including 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕, too. All of it is worthy of a huge question mark, so how can it be that 𝒂𝒏𝒚 part of it is beyond inquiry?

My point being, why collect taxes when you can just print. Not to say it’s a good idea either as either way you economically hang yourself.

Though hard to find today, headlines of the day blared the news of the "Jewish Revolution" in Russia. This is well known, if little talked about: https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt2005s20?turn_away=true

Read Antony Sutton books on how rich scumbags in the US financed the Soviet Union. I think one of the books was appropriately named National Suicide.
