Still waiting for the king's Golden Age of America

Golden age for the world has been around for many many decades. Thank you technology, capitalism, John Locke, etc. Still a long way to go, can't give up the fight.

The golden age in America ended in 1492.

 

Interesting to see DT still owns you 24/7. Quit letting everything you see and read make you a miserable human being.
I'll mention it again. Step away from the brainwashing and BS politics. Get outside and learn to enjoy life.

 

If you hate it so much, do something different. Give all your belongings and property and any $$ you may have to a native american. Walk your talk.
Lord only knows they were busy killing each other and taking land from one another for hundreds or thousands of years before 1492..............

 

Adverse possession BS predates Columbus and dates back to the Roman Empire in order to steal land in Europe and beyond...

Specifically, adverse possession is a legal doctrine that emerged alongside — and arguably enabled — Europe's shift away from common-land stewardship toward extractive colonial economics. When Columbus reached the Americas in 1492, Europe's precious metal supply was modest. A century later, Spanish treasure fleets had delivered over 3,900 metric tonnes of silver and 180+ tonnes of gold to Seville alone (Hamilton, American Treasure and the Price Revolution in Spain, 1934) — extracted through Indigenous forced labor and enslaved Africans. European price levels tripled or quadrupled across the 1500s as a direct result.

For scale on what a metals flood does to an economy: NASA's Psyche mission is currently en route to the asteroid 16 Psyche, a metallic body estimated to contain enough iron, nickel, and precious metals to be worth roughly $10,000 quadrillion — more than the entire current global economy by orders of magnitude. If even a fraction were returned to Earth, it would collapse precious metal markets entirely, much as Spanish silver collapsed European purchasing power four centuries ago. The colonial looting of the Americas was, in economic terms, the original 16 Psyche on a functioning monetary system.
